When you feel so guilty about past success, you purposely try to sabotage yourself so your rivals have a
chance.
Wii was a one-
hit wonder with enticing motion controls, everyone has that now. A generation behind in its
time, you knew the PS4 was over 5 years away. But PS4 is just a year or two past
Wii U, everyone will wait instead. Casuals will stick to their original
Wii and ipads/pods.
The most important fact is that it takes time to get to know the hardware of a game system well, for the developer API'
s to get to that point where they can make great looking games.
Wii U is only 50% stronger than a PS3, but modern PS3 games look over 50% better than 1st gen PS3 games, so the result is when
Wii U is released, its games just aren't going to look much better than PS3 games. Nintendo could have used this opportunity to be the first to market a serious next-gen contender and re-dominated this gen like they did the last one with
Wii, but intense feelings of guilt of how much insane money they made with DS and
Wii'
s success has caused them to want to destroy themselves with
Wii U and the overpriced 3DS. When Microsoft and Sony release their next-gen systems that are going to have better frame rates, handle 1080p 3d games, better texture resolution, anisotropic filtering, physics, other nice graphics effects, Nintendo'
s corporate harakiri will be complete.
