Aielyn said: Yes, Nintendo should give the "free online" angle some advertising coverage. How do they achieve it? By doing a deal with Activision - they include in the Wii U version of CoD all of the online game features found in the PS4/XBO versions (including a guarantee of same-day or better DLC), and give Nintendo appropriate permissions to use the game in their advertising, and Nintendo advertises the Wii U version of the game heavily, and includes it in a special bundle. They could do a similar deal with Ubisoft for Splinter Cell: Blacklist. Then, when advertising the games, they could make "All online play completely free" a major selling point, alongside Wii U specific features (gamepad stuff, pointer controls, etc). Proper Miiverse integration would add yet another bonus. This could be just one part of a marketing blitz running through the holiday season. |
That's pure genius. Kudos to you, sir!
