I wonder how long it will take, for Nintendo strategy, to really work for them. As in, plenty of 3rd party publisher started developing for them, enhancing the gaming purchasing options, for Nintendo gamers.

If 3rd party games can’t run on your console then there is a problem. The wii had a large install base and it still had subpar 3rd party support. I think nintendo need a big 3rd party exclusive. Like a GTA Chinatown sequel, Virtual Fighter with a controller like this http://cdn2-b.examiner.com/sites/default/files/styles/image_content_width/hash/95/9e/959e2d13ec7d2961510d01e05e8dbd5d.jpeg

Install base is important but I expected more from Iawata. I mean come on man you run Nintendo.

Another aspect is power and to a lesser extent today, ease of development. Power is important for 1 single reason and that’s multi platform releases. If a publisher has to spend a ton of money either upgrading or downgrading a game they just won’t bother.

The good news is if the game is coming to pc upgrading isn’t an issue but downgrading is a major one. Why? Not only do you have to make the game visually less appealing which looks inferior to customers and makes them likely to buy on another platform regardless of platform specific benefits but you also have to optimize like crazy which is where you burn money. Also if your architecture is different from say a modern console (a PC) you are also less likely to get ports because of extra time needed for platform specific code and debugging.

Install base..come on Nintendo you are way smarter than this and if you aren’t we have a big problem
