Moreover: Nintendo is a toy company. They seek novelty, which is why they keep doing goofy shit. That's why the Switch has detachable controllers and motion-control nonsense instead of being baby's first Steam Deck.

The fancy description is "blue ocean strategy." They don't want to compete. They want to be the only company that offers [blank]. They want to sail off to some unexplored territory and be the only one there.
