That’s how Nintendo made money since Game Boy at least. That worked fine for them for over 30 years now. It’s the Gameboy people remember and not the Game Gear or Lynx despite technically being inferior.

i think gunpei yokoi called it "lateral thinking with withered technology" or something like that. it's a lesson i wish the rest of the industry would learn- even "weak" computers today are capable of incredible things and we could be passing those savings to the customer or spending the extra budget on actual innovation Wii-style but no! more triangles!

I was actually looking at a chart earlier today, and it's crazy. They had declining sales going from NES->SNES->N64->GameCube.

The first time a home console beat the sales of the NES was the Wii, when they stopped chasing performance of the systems.

Not the same chart, but to provide proof - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_game_consoles
