Nintendo Spreading out 3DS Games |
Listed in: News Tags: ocarina of time, Satoru Iwata, starfox
If you ask people what’s holding them back from purchasing a 3DS, one of the common responses you’ll receive is “lack of games.” Since the launch of the device in March, we’ve yet to see any real push to fill the handheld with quality software. Sure, there are a few good titles here and there, but for the most part, we’ve been watching the future and hoping for some real releases. Ocarina of Time and StarFox can’t hold the line by themselves.
While the lack of 3DS titles may seem like a problem to some analysts, it’s actually a purposeful situation created by Nintendo in the hopes of generating more sales in the long haul. Their thought process seems to be, “Sure, we can make a pile of cash in November, or we can wait and release our games with fewer competitors.” Nintendo isn’t merely concerned about how a 3DS game will hold up against Skyrim, but also how each game will fare when released near other 3DS games.
Here’s a quote from Satoru Iwata, president of Nintendo:
“For us to provide software titles one after another, one idea is, 'Isn’t it possible for Nintendo to stock some of its software titles instead of launching them as soon as the development is completed?' Video games need to stay fresh, so it is not practical for us to put them on hold for too long, but we think that some of them may be held for a certain amount of time so that there will be a short interval between when they are completed and when they are launched."
“We are taking on this sort of challenge for the Nintendo 3DS. For example, when we look at the software lineup for the year-end sales season, it is so dense that, if we added any more software, the total sales would not increase. Accordingly, we have intentionally delayed the launch of some software titles to early next year.”
It makes sense that Nintendo would want to create a perceived scarcity with their releases. It would be folly to drop ten new 3DS games in the next month when you look at the ridiculous amount of competition coming in from other consoles. Of course, the holiday season is always good for actual system sales, but we’ll have to see if Nintendo’s gamble pays off.
Do you think pushing big titles back to 2012 makes Nintendo more likely to achieve success?

3DS actually seems off to a good start to me - it's ahead of the DS and PSP at the same point in their life cycles. New system struggles are the norm.

Failed? That implies that it's dead already and it's not usually until a system is about a year and a half before things start to get interesting. Things haven't done much but look up for the little system over the past two months.
By golly it just might make it!
