Why Nintendo doesn't (CURRENTLY) need third party support.

[Experimental42]

I can see the reading comprehension in this thread is strong. Sometimes I wonder why I try.

Notice how it says CURRENTLY they do not need third parties. They've focused on providing enough games for the next year to move consoles in an effort to lay a base of sales to show the hardware can sell and encourage third parties to come back to the platform.

The last stand, as in not the preferred route, is to acquire flagging companies with large recognizable IPs and expanding your active teams in order to produce the third party games that no one else would make for them.

And you may have worked for a large billion dollar company, but technically so has everyone that flipped a burger, so you need to be more specific if you're going to claim you know how large companies work, and you need to address the difference between Japanese and American companies, and how a company that's solely for games approaches things compared to a larger company with a smaller wing dedicated to games.

I also love how tools feel they need to point out acquiring a large company isn't the same as buying bread and costs lots of money, as if that isn't an understood part of the process that didn't need to outlined in friggin' crayon.

Posting here is like computer programming. You think you've constructed a solid topic for discussion but it veers way off course because you weren't specific enough with the rules and assumed the computer was a reasonably intelligent human being instead of a low functioning autist following everything in the most literal of senses.
