Fucking pathetic... Nintendo is still way too caught up in doing their thing, even if it's blatantly obvious that's it's wrong or outdated. That's why they're in

Hindsight is 20-20. Here is the thing Nintendo was never going to compete with Sony and Ms because they are not big enough to do so. So it was inevitable that things were going to end up this way. All thats left is for them to figure out there own market, which time will tell. If they dont then they dont. But trying to bankrupt the company by keeping up a bidding war with MS and Sony is certain death.

But you can also say the same stuff to Nintendo's decision. They're waiting to find other ways to do things. And while they wait, they're losing money and consumer interest. They can die in the process of this. Just as much as the Sony MS way.

It's really simple. It's stupid to give money to a company (third party dev) that will also put their product on a competitor's console. Nintendo is only interested in third party games that are negotiated to be exclusive.

There aren't really enough 3rd party games they can get to be exclusives though, besides that the big ones that would really be worth it would usually cost way way too much.

What if... they didn't need to pay to get multiplats though? If they made a console that was really easy to port to then they would get plenty of multiplats. Even if multiplats haven't sold well on Nintendo consoles so far, if porting games was easy and cheap enough then publishers would do it because they would still be able to make profit even with the current low 3rd party sales. Failing that they don't have much choice but to pay for multiplats, unless they can prove they can sell and be profitable on their consoles anyway.

But if they were to get more multiplats then they would sell more consoles, and more people would buy the multiplats on Nintendo consoles. Then leading to more interest from 3rd party publishers.

To do that. The system would have to be close to equal in power the the other systems. Nintendo doesn't want to go this route. So they're stuck in this repeating loop.
