Their exit was inevitable. Graphical performance is a huge aspect of home console and Nintendo is not capable of competing in that area - and their stellar first party lineup isn't enough to bridge that gap.
>It remains to be seen whether Nintendo will keep misunderstanding its market, or actually produce a hit this time.
I think the Switch will be a success and after the Wii-U fiasco, their marketing and branding is spot-on.
- rockdoe 10y agoNintendo is not capable of competing in that area They can surely produce a capable console. After all, they partnered with NVIDIA. The question is whether it makes sense to go into this arms race, especially given that their traditional first party content is not well placed to make use of it.
- macspoofing 10y agoBy 'capable' I mean, they are too poor. Competing in this market means subsidizing the console and Nintendo cannot afford to do that in a way that Sony and Microsoft can. >especially given that their traditional first party content is not well placed to make use of it. That makes no sense. Why not? If they released their Wii-U games, unchanged, on the Xbox One or PS4 they would be mega-hits.
