Comment on "Bringing your games to other platforms is how you’re going to win" - Circana

It would be a temporary learning curve to get games able to support multiple platforms, but everyone else has already done it and Nintendo consoles have been the least powerful systems so it should be easier.

I’m not talking about being able to run on those other hardware. I’m talking about Nintendo devs literally being able to write code for that other hardware. You expand to numerous platforms you get more bugs. You need more devs. You need devs that know more platforms. It has nothing to do with Nintendo gimmicks. It has to do with building for more platforms just by default being more buggy (which is exactly what happens).

Cross platform games aren’t a buggy mess, everyone else has figured it out. Nintendo could do it as well.

All those cross platform games are basically re-downloaded as day-1 pstch. And how much times after that do they receive updete to fix them? A year or even more if I remember Cyberpunk.
