yeah, but they will expand their market by doing this. Sales will increase, short term profit might be lower, but long term will be higher |
Nintendo is a relatively small-scale operation. It's not about the cost, it's about the management. Where are they going to get all of these competent game designers? Most of the best designers already have steady jobs and aren't looking to move to Nintendo. So even while Nintendo already has a few 'young' teams learning the ropes and smaller teams making simple projects, they're going to dramatically expand their work force with primarily newbies. Who is going to supervise all of these new dev teams? How will they handle quality control?
Also, you're kidding yourself if you think franchises like Metroid, F-Zero, Star Tropics, Star Fox, etc would significantly expand Nintendo's market. Especially if they're being made by a bunch of scrubs.
