Here is the data about next-gen games sold so far by the major publishers: Nintendo: 0m PS4 + 13.66m WiiU + 0m XOne = 13.66m Activision: 1.74m PS4 + 1m WiiU + 1.35m XOne = 4.09m Ubisoft: 1.27m PS4 + 1.98m WiiU + 0.68m XOne = 3.93m Electronic Arts: 1.82m PS4 + 0.21m WiiU + 1.11m XOne = 3.14m Microsoft: 0m PS4 + 0m WiiU +2.13m XOne = 2.13m Sony: 1.7m PS4 + 0m WiiU + 0m XOne = 1.7m Even with the very low sales of WiiU consoles, Nintendo has sold over 20% more next-gen games than Activision, Ubisoft, and Electronic Games combined. |
Exactly!
Nintendo knows it will earn more by staying like it is, unless it's forced to change it.
They would earn way less as a third party and they would lose sales due to competing game from other developers. Something that happens to a much lesser extent on their own platforms.
