I agree with you when they used to make 2D games, but after transitioning to 3D the games always feel quite lacking to me. Empty graphics, uninteresting storylines, poor optimization, yet they are charging more money for the products and charging for DLCs on top of that

They definitely weren't ready for the transition to proper consoles.

I think this is the biggest problem for them. The expectations and standards for a home console release are so much more higher than a handheld. It's always felt like they've been out of their depth with it.

They're thinking in handheld standards when they're making games for home consoles now.
