Nintendo Gaming / Re: The Wii U is a mess of a system
« on: September 19, 2016, 05:33:36 PM »The lesson is to not cut corners and assume your prior userbase is just going to automatically carry over to the next generation.This is something it seems every company tends to forget constantly. Sony did this with the PS3, though they did the opposite and they thought their PS2 customers would gladly get a second job to be able to pay the extra money it cost at launch to get a PS3. Microsoft did this at the launch of the XB1 with thinking they could do whatever they wanted in fighting the used games market and charging extra for their system at first.
Nintendo did it before going from Super NES to the N64. Atari did it going from the 2600 to the 5200. And it's not just the video game market that does this. Companies are constantly thinking it's fans are mindless drones who will buy whatever new product they put out.
