Nope, a system can definitely be succesfull without multiplats. Although it is significantly more likely to be succesfull with them. And either way can make more money with them. Think of the Wii for a moment, Nintendo made tonnes of money from it relying on mostly exclusive games. If they had had all of that and also multiplat games like COD and GTA on the Wii selling similar amounts to their PS360 counterparts then Nintendo would have made a lot more money from it. Same with the Wii U, if they had what they have now, plus all the multiplats comparable to the other console versions then the Wii U would have undoubtedly sold more by now, even if it hadn't the software sales would be much higher. Either way Nintendo would be getting more money from the Wii U than they are currently. |
You say Nintendo will make money from 3rd parties, but Sony nor Microsoft are making money with them. Yoshida himself said they make very little money from software sales.
So, what's the real solution?
The point I'm trying to make here is that the comparison isn't fair. A better comparison would be to compare the software sales of both the PS4 and the Wii U's exclusives.
