2 - Competing with Nintendo/Miyamoto, its damn near impossible to beat them. Except for maybe Square with an Rpg can you see anyone making a wii game better then Nintendo themselfs ? |
2: One word: Rare. They had some top-notch titles that went toe-to-toe against Nintendo and fared arguably better in some cases (GoldenEye 007, Donkey Kong Country, Blast Corps come to mind). But based on that logic, wouldn't everyone simply buy Nintendo and eschew any other console - after all, it's "damn near impossible to beat them"? What's the point of other developers coming out with new games for non-Nintendo platforms if it's "damn near impossible to beat them"? |
my #3 comes to play, The demographic is way differant. Nintendo games wont work well on 360. You think halo would have done 6 million on the GC ? |
You're right about #3, but I think only to the extent that the demographic is a result of the brand positioning. Nintendo chose to cater to a certain demographic, just like Microsoft does with the Xbox brand. It could have just as well been the other way around, and if so, Halo wouldn't have sold close to a million on the Xbox but would have on the Gamecube.
