Possibly, or maybe they're happy with smart phones as an alternative to the 3DS. It would not be altruistic to not want a major platform holder to be in a position to behave like Nintendo in the '80s and early '90s. |
that's a good point...but Capcom did not do anything to change this in the 80ies or 90ies as I remember.EA did by supporting Sega Mega Drive(genesis?).That's when the neverending lovestory bigN-EA has started and EA is still hated by nintendofans since than)
Right now Capcom port an old monster hunter(instead of porting the new one(easier to port a new game for coders than a 5+years old one)??Are they now trying to push Nintendo back to the monopol they had in the 90ies to be again treated like shit+ the fact that almost all companies know that is very hard for 3rd parties to succeed on nintendo systems and a lot easier on sony/sega/ms.
I still think(without evidence) its a moneyhatting thing as all other reasons are not smart ,contraproductive and may have ugly consequences as shareholders can Sue you for willingfully missing huge opportunities.
And focussing on Smartphones games?I have no idea about the japanese market,but if the market is as fragmented as in the western world and smartphone+ casual gamers are as ignorant as in the western world than that's extrem risky business.
