    Their in house games also have a very… “Nintendo” feel.
    Like, it’s obviously a Nintendo game. And I feel like that is their game plan.
    Make a console that suites their IP. It doesn’t need to be flashy, it doesn’t need streaming 32k textures or whatever. It needs to do the Nintendo Thing™.

    I wonder if that will change for the next gen, considering the 3rd party market picking up some big names (Skyrim, Fortnite, GTA). Maybe they will make a more capable system to monetize more on these possibilities

      Nintendo does the Nintendo Thing very well, and their fans love them for it. There is a particular niche or the gaming market that is theirs, and theirs alone. If they start trying to please everybody, they may end up pleasing nobody.

      Then again, I’m a PC gamer, so it may be I have no idea what I’m talking about.
