Nintendo wont quit home consoles, they can sell as little as 20 million units and still move enough first party software to make profits. Look at NSMBU, over 2 million sold on a 4 million install base, thats insane!! As i always say, there is more to gaming than just Microsoft and Sony. It seems to me that many people want to play Nintendo games, but a majority are too stubborn and pig headed to buy the hardware, hence the reason many cry out for them to go third party. |
well it does make sense that people want to play most of their favourite games on 1 systems doesnt it?
xbox and ps offer a wider range compared to the wii U.
instead of wasting time marketing the wii U and making games for a system with a 4m install base, they could be making games for PS3/xbox's ~160m installbase (maybe lower taking into account failed consoles)

If i want to play Uncharted i simply buy a Sony console, i dont bitch and moan, wishing they would go 3rd party so i could play that franchise. Nintendo will always make bigger profits from their own software being on their hardware, they get 100% of the profits with no middle man taking their cut. There is a reason why Nintendo made more money than Sony during the Gamecube era, a console with a small user base still generated good profits for Nintendo.

sometimes volume sales at a smaller margin is better than few sales at 100% margin.
are you really telling me that its more profitable for them to launch a mario game on the wii U than it is on PS360?
and who said gamecube made more money than ps2? maybe you forgot to count all the royalties ps2 was taking in years after the gamecube became an ancient artifact

I should have worded it better, i meant during the timeframe Nintendo was making more money than Sony. Obviously PS2 made more in the long haul, it carried on selling for years after GameCubes demise.
