Nintendo is getting dangerously close to obsolete as a hardware manufacturer. They definitely would be raking up cash if they went third party though.

I don't know about that.


You dont think they'd make a lot of money? I'd definitely buy an Eternal Darkness game on my PlayStation.

It sure would contine the trend of the new consoles getting gamecube era games....😛

Haha Well you get my point.

The reactions in these threads are always very telling, apparently the box that plays the games and the exclusivity of those games is more important than simply being able to play the games.

If you want to play nintendo games, then buy their damn console.

Not every casual deserves to play them for a few cents.

Same goes for MS and Sony.

Not the point I was making, also nobody was talking about about a few cents, you know there are mobile games going for I believe as much as $20, right? Also there's other systems that the games could still come out on for full price.

But you're exactly the kind of person I was talking about, getting mad over the pure suggestion of Nintendo going third party, because you have probably for some totally arbitrary reason decided that that would be horrible for the games and the company.

Thats probably cause we get a thread about Nintendo going third party at least once or twice a month but we rarely get a thread about Sony or Microsoft going third party and of course, if we are going to talk about games being avaliable on every platform, than people should include that both Sony and Microsoft First party should also be avaliable in every platform including PC

Insulting people already? Show some respect.

He doesn't have to. People were insulting him 



Ltd predictions by the time 9th Gen comes out

Ps4:110million

Xbox one :75 million( was 65) 

Wii u: 20 milliion

There will be a future where all three will likely fore go hardware manufacturing.

Microsoft is a software company at at heart, there have already been calls in the non-gaming media for Sony to divert their resources to their still profitable enterprises i.e. non hardware related. In fact there is a strong shift across the entire industry to moving towards software, rather than hardware focused services, both within and outside of entertainment services. Google for example doesn't give a crap if you use their hardware as long as you are using their software.

Having said that Nintendo sold over a million units of hardware last week, how's that compared to Sony and MS? Of the three they are the one that most cares most about having complete control of their business, hardware and software and while the finances aren't at their best they are likely now making reasonable profit on both hardware and software. While going Android or iOS could open up a huge potential audience they will lose alot of control in the process and I don't see Nintendo willing to swallow that pill any time soon.



Because of their handheld Nintendo will never become obsolete



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

If they go third party, then that would also bring their older games to the system.

Did I get mad over anything? I don't think so. The mentality of "I want everything without having to spend money" is just bullshit. If you want quality, then pay for it. Nothing good in life is free.

Aye, which is why everyone should go PC only. In all fairness there's really no place for Playstation, Xbox and Nintendo's stuff, and all would benefit greatly if they all ceased to exist.

Honestly Playstation and Xbox do have a place, because they offer platforms on which not only they but all third parties are making money on, tons of money, they are viable platforms for the whole industry.

Nintendos platforms on the other hand are largely completely financially unviable for the industry aside from Nintendo, so if nobody but Nintendo makes money on their systems (and that is basically the case with the Wii U) and if Nintendo struggles to make money on the hardware itself, then one has to wonder why they don't just ditch the hardware and concentrates on what they're actually really top notch in: Making games.



Oh god...
