Update:
Withered Technology has 3 strict laws:
Withered Tech ----> Lateral Thinking = New Product
Old tech -------> Use it in a new way = $$$
LCD screen found in Calculators --> Handheld gaming = GAMEBOY
infrared IR found in TV remote -------> Motion control = Wii Remote
Tablets-----------------------------------> Gaming tablet = Switch
MiniDVD and Cartridge and so on...
Im not really defending the philosophy, as i too sometimes yearn for Nintendo to do something "cutting edge"; but to get mad at Nintendo at doing what works generation after generation, is tiresome.
Maybe we should ignore "insiders" and curb our reactions and look at it from an outsider POV
Damn! I didn't know there was science behind Nintendo cheapness. Oh well.
If what op wrote is actually policy forget about any cutting edge technology from Nintendo
The OP isn't wrong, but it's the most profitable way of coming up with innovative ideas, which is what Nintendo's key focus is. Everything comes after that.
Withered Technology has 3 strict laws:
- Wait until the tech is cheap.
- Wait until the tech is understandable (easy to develop on / for)
- Avoid Cutting edge tech.
