re: Nintendo distributing dev kits for NX

actually it's more than that - you know that statement: "First impressions are all that matters" ? Well in the case of Nintendo, it all started back with the N64, they went cartridges when the 3rd parties wanted them to go CD - then they did the small disk on the GameCube

Those discs were already an optics industry standard. They held plenty of data and the GC was able to decompress quickly enough, so it didn't really hold back developers.

But you're right, it's not just about moving consoles. The wii was miles ahead of the 360 and 3 mid cycle in sales, but devs walked away.
