@bolded: this. That's why Ninty should stick to its usual business model and leave Sony's and MS' ones to them: unless they commit horrible mistakes, each model works well for each one of them, but it doesn't really work for the others. BTW Ninty's model enjoys the bigger profit margin, but MS and Sony know that copying it wouldn't work as well for them, to approach Ninty's profit margin their only way is to refine their own models to improve efficiency and avoid wastes, and to boost 1st party development, but not up to Ninty level, otherwise they'd scare 3st parties away.


what do you mean up to Ninty level? Because i would argue that SOny has actually boosted 1st party development a lot in the past few years. Hell i would argue that PS3 had just as much 1st party games as Wii, it probably has more since SOny is still supporting PS3 with games while preparing for 4 and doing somethings(KZ:M,Tearaway) for Vita. While Ninty dropped WIi pretty much right after Skyward Sword
