Why doesn't Nintendo innovate and push their hardware to the limits anymore?

innovation isn't safe and could lead to the worst thing ever. Line not going up

Totk's biggest issues were not innovating enough from totk, and the innovations it did make were all shit

Home consoles died in the early 2000s, there simply was no point when home computers became cheaper, more powerful, more versatile and more easy to use. Everything after 5th gen was just constant stagnation, trying to keep investors on board and scraping the bottom of the barrel.

not enough long loading times, blurry 240p video and hilariously bad voice acting for you, tranny?
There's a reason people still like N64 games to this day while pretending PS1 games don't exist

>>717653153
there are several modern games out there with "ps1 graphics"
ps1 = soul
n64 = children shit

Because it's not viable.

Sony crushed SEGA during Saturn/PlayStation due to the fact that Sony have their own factories manufacturing chips. SEGA and Nintendo had to pay other companies to get chip sets.

This lead to the N64 hardware being so expensive that Nintendo had to omit an optical reader and go for cartridges to save costs and put the N64 in the same price range as the PlayStation.

And then Microsoft came along.

Simply put, going for the most powerful hardware is very expensive, and Sony and Microsoft can always do it cheaper and better than Nintendo.

They got buck broken by Microsoft and Sony during the 6th gen.

Not many people bought an N64 and nobody bought a Gamecube.
But they did buy a Wii, they did buy a DS and they did buy a Switch.
