When did we all start ignoring Nintendo? Was it the Wii era? Because that’s the moment Nintendo stepped away. That’s when Nintendo decided to leave the raw-power console fight to PlayStation and Xbox, and let them slug it out while it did something else. Nintendo decided to focus on innovation and creativity and rethink the idea of the console, the Wii being the result. I remember how it was greeted at the time, the Revolution as it was known then, with scepticism – derision, even. What was this comparatively low-powered toy? It wouldn’t stand a chance against Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. And yet…

It’s interesting to see how Nintendo has continued to thrive despite the changing landscape of gaming. The Switch has certainly brought a fresh perspective, reminding us of the unique experiences consoles can offer. It’s a great time to reflect on the evolution of gaming and what makes each platform special.
Absolutely! Nintendo’s ability to innovate and adapt, like with the Switch’s hybrid design, shows that they really understand their audience. It’s fascinating how their unique approach keeps them relevant, even when the industry is shifting towards more traditional gaming models.
