I'm sorry, but no. Nintendo has been banking on well established franchises for decades. It's not risky when you think about it. Mario, Zelda, Metroid, DK are all well known brands and just about every person who plays video games knows about them. Heck, even those who do not play them or casually do so will have heard of them from one way or another. The games they develop internally are low risk because they are bound to sell well. The fan/install base are always there to pick up those titles and the attach rate for most of their first party games is quite franky, huge. Compare that to other devs who try their luck with new IP's and its sometimes its a hit, others a miss. Not sure about any others but I'd say Atlas. They produce niche titles that are a little 'out there'. |
That brand didnt just exist you know, they grew it. They sell well because they're quality titles and that grew the brand that allowed them to take several risks.
You have no idea how many games Nintendo's put out before. People only remeber their franchises.
