Pretty theory but I don't think it's only Nintendo. At least this article notices that this isn't a cycle but something atypical.
While software and hardware sales are also down for the PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2012, NPD analyst Anita Frazier confirms those high-definition system are "seeing less significant declines." That's especially impressive considering these systems are now pushing six and seven years old, which is usually considered the nautral end of a console's life cycle. Frazier also points out that 1.5 million units of gaming hardware sold in March, representing over one percent of all US households and suggesting the market for the current generation of high-end consoles isn't yet completely saturated.
In other words, these products are at the end of their lifeCYCLE and that the declines they are experiencing is actually less than expected.
Not really sure what you've read, but positive you've read it through typical ASeven "OMG the industry is dying" glasses. |
