The problem with these TV manufacturers can also be summed up with the problem of Nintendo. We don’t want to change HOW we watch TV. All we want is something worth watching.

And the same way with Nintendo. What does it matter if you change HOW I play the game… if I am still playing the exact same game? Nintendo prefers to focus on changing the ‘how’ because it is extremely easy and places the work on the hardware developers instead of the software developers. Isn’t this the natural consequence when you place software developers in charge? They will have everyone else do work except them.

I’d love to see some software-specific innovation from Nintendo. (And ‘maternal instincts’ cutscenes don’t count.)
