Making piracy more difficult, primarily.
- georgeecollins 3y agoI think that is right, but I also think that quality control is very important to console manufacturers, particularly Nintendo. You don't think about it so much because the consoles haven't changed that much in market position in years. There is lore that bad quality software destroyed the 2600. Battles SEGA and Nintendo, SEGA and Sony, Sony and MSFT really depended a lot on the quality of titles and the users experience. So they tend to want to control the experience more then say Google or Apple do on the phone. You can have shitty apps on a phone, but its a much bigger problem for a console.
