I can’t believe there was a time when Nintendo made cutting edge hardware

Why did they stop?

The cutting edge hardware was garbage.

Because they realized that they could make tons more money by delivering actually unique gaming experiences to wider audiences, using more matured and proven tech, all which also helped them keep the price tags of their devices low.

CONSOLES HAVE NEVER BEEN "CUTTING EDGE", YOU FUCKING IDIOT. THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN UNDERPOWERED COMPARED TO PCS.

They found out that there was more money in finding dumber customers than developing better product. The entire video game industry followed them right down that hole too.

lol PCs were trash up until the late 90s compared to consoles/arcades

It didn't start that way though
