| theprof00 said: Look at the big picture guys. Do you really think that Nintendo simply has something speshul that no other company can think of? Their sales are hard to match. Even for horrendous failures like wiimusic. The nintendo titles are always the highest selling ones on any nintendo system, and other companies barely have a chance within the platform, and outside the platform, they still can't match the sales. C'mon now, use your brains a little bit. It's not magic or some jenesequoi that you've been trained to think. It's marketing and business strategy. Seriously, do you really think that out of the thousands of games that get released in a generation, the Nintendo ones are the most fun? :Pokes eyeball: |
Yes.
Why can't Nintendo have better creative talent than anyone else? You claim that if Nintendo never existed that Mario would still be around with minor tweaks, but if that was the case how come no other company has come close to creating that 2D Mario Platforming? LBP sucks in comparison to Mario for 2D platforming and it is Mario's closest competition this generation being 10m back. The level editor is great, but LBP lacks the challenge with not enough badguys (and the stupid buttons to kill them) and floaty physics. If it was all marketing and business strategy, then Sony must be horrible at those things, despite Sony being a very successful company that has convinced consumers that their overpriced electronics are better than the competition.
all those big games aren't going to end up at 20-30m because Nintendo knows how to advertise. It is because they know how to make the games that people love.
