Actually Nintendo's games are made for Nintendo's platforms, it's like saying (Why doesn't Sony put Shadow of Collosus on the Wii, or Microsoft put Halo 2 on a Nintendo platform.) It would hurt because software sells hardware, and if you could eventually get that software else where, then the only people wining are those making software. In the first parties case and especially Nintendo's case, the loss in sales to hardware due to the above logic would hurt much more in the long run. The product they are trying to sell isn't just the software it's the hardware. Think along the lines of how people these days wait for Greatest Hit status or used games before they make a purchase. The logic would become, "Why waste another $250 when Virtual Console titles will appear on XBLA." |
i dont really think thats the case at all. those specific games you mentioned are last generation games and one is for a system that still sells hardware. NES and SNES are fairly old now and the games themselves wont draw someone to a console anyways...but if you introduce Super Mario to people who may not have ever played a Mario game before could even attract some of them to the Wii.
