Nintendo was one of the last companies trying to innovate with each console they released. Whilst Xbox & PlayStation simply went the “more power = better” route.

But it feels like Nintendo has caved in, and is just following suite. Are there any gimmicks left to sell consoles? Or is it just gonna be like smart phones, we just upgrade because that’s what we do.

I’m gonna miss the era of Nintendo giving us never before seen technology on the mainstream

    Those are all great improvements but I’d consider them more iterative than innovative.

    I’d consider the Wii to be a truly innovative console, but everything else of theirs mostly iterates on their previous successes or market trends.
