NoxObscuras 07/11/21 4:35:42 PM #27:	Wii_Shaker posted... Last time they tried it didn't sell (WiiU). The Wii U didn't fail because it was a home console. It failed because Nintendo didn't do a good job of showing why it was different than the Wii (That BigB0ss13 guy isn't the only one that thinks the Wii U was basically the Wii with a new gimmick). They also failed to release a lot of big titles for it compared to the 3DS. The Wii U released 1 year after the 3DS and yet, the 3DS got far more games than the Wii U did. Like, why did Luigi's Mansion, a series that started on console, get a sequel that's exclusive to the 3DS? So, I'm fine with their console and handheld markets being combined. It means they can't ignore one in favor of the other. --- PSN - NoxObscuras Z490 \| i9-10900K \| EVGA 3080 FTW3 Ultra \| 32GB DDR4 3600 \| 4TB SSD <cite>NoxObscuras posted [p:955980765] in Why doesn'...

Darmik 07/11/21 4:49:49 PM #28:	Many reasons Modern games take too long to make and it's too difficult to support both a console and handheld.
