Why aren't smaller companies with the onerous DRM/anti-cheat systems making consoles?
Looked at another way, the smartphone market is a console market: limited use digital network terminals have metastasized to the point that "general purpose" computers with utility of their own, separate from the network, are a rare thing to find.
- PaulHoule 4y agoI dunno. I was a fan of the Playstation Vita which had some remarkable titles such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killzone:_Mercenary https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killzone:_Mercenary https://neptunia.fandom.com/wiki/Hyperdimension_Neptunia_Re;Birth1 https://neptunia.fandom.com/wiki/Hyperdimension_Neptunia_Re;... but Playstation decided not to keep competing with phones and they didn't create another generation. Nintendo's switch follows in the Vita's footsteps however, and was a big hit. Many of the game publishers that made games for the Vita went right to the Switch.
- pipeline_peak 4y agoIt never crossed my mind, they technically did follow the Vita’s footsteps, although that was probably indirect. Everyone knows Nintendo has the IP and that Disney heritage.
