greatn posted:Nintendo didn't foresee that developing modern HD games was all that more difficult than games they'd been making since 2001, and started on the WiiU seven years behind the competition. Everything has been delayed because they lack adequate resources and knowledge to make games up to modern standards. They're a toy company now competing against entertainment companies. Citing "incompetence" here is just stupid. It's not that they're unable to deliver a device on par with the PS4/Durango, it's that they're unwilling. The Wii U's all about subsidized parts and making something as cheap as possible with the veneer of a forward-looking device with high potential, just like the original Wii with its barely-upgraded Gamecube guts and the motion-sensing remote. The 3DS could have had a state-of-the-art Tegra chip if not for a last second switch to a cheaper Asian alternative. All companies are about profit, but Nintendo has unashamedly been focused on spending as little money as possible to maintain its position for the last decade. And since that is the case, what I've been unable to grasp is why they haven't exited the console hardware business entirely and released their games on every other device under the sun. The initial stock hit would be damning for sure, but they'd certainly stand to earn a mint from the glee of every PS4/Durango owner having access to the latest Zelda, or unleashing the Virtual Console on smartphones and tablets. Being able to play a Sonic game on the Gamecube back in 2001 was just a novelty, but you have to imagine the internet would flip its collective poo poo (for the better) at the thought of Nintendo games being legally available on iOS.

Quest For Glory II posted:How is it not incompetence when you have to pull a significant amount of staff off of other game projects in order to finish Nintendo Land by launch, which causes a domino chain of delaying everything else down the pipeline, such as delaying Pikmin 3 from November all the way to August? And Nintendo Land is not exactly a Rembrandt. I meant with regards to the hardware side of things. "Incompetence" in that case meaning the In addition to Mordiceius's list, the reason Sony and Microsoft can do those things well is because they're willing to spend the money to make it work. E: V V V So we're clear, then
