Info on Custom Console?

[46195021]

So I am loving this game. But is there a way to know what genres/game types work best on your custom console? It seems a bit lame that you have to slowly learn it's strengths and weaknesses by doing game reports.

Related question... any tips on creating a console that can overtake the market?

Yo Kiddy,

Nope, there is no way you know what will be the major interests of players on your brand new console, just like the real life. And to overtake the market, just like real life, use exclusives. You'll sell less, but your excelent game is only available to your platform.

Be good.

To say "just like real life" would mean that Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony are shooting completely in the dark at what type of game would work on their system based on their specs. I don't think that's very true.

Nonetheless, thanks for the info! :)

Well, those consoles are a good time on market, they probably slowly learned its strengths and weaknesses by doing game reports.

But a new console? Military/Action works well on PS4, but not on WiiU. Imagine this new console... It would take a time to discover its possibilities.

...I wish we had a new console in real life. :C

Side question. I saw this video on YouTube from last year (early access game I suppose?) where he was able to build both a custom console and a custom PC. Is that still in the game?

A good one, though.
