But, could Nintendo buy the PlayStation brand (or at least hire it's creators) so they could then own the brand and crush the gaming nation? Face it, Nintendo and Sony complete each other, and if Nintendo did this, it would be a win for everybody in the long run. Also, with the brand they'd get all devs, like Sucker Punch, Naughty Dog, etc. Think. Nintendo sells tons of handhelds, but struggles more with consoles Sony sells tons of consoles, but struggles hard with handhelds. (Half of the time) Nintendo games have legs where Sony's don't, but Sony's consoles have legs where Nintendo's don't
So, Guaranteed successful console+guaranteed successful handheld+consoles with legs+games with legs=IMMENSE PROFIT 8.2m Wii U's, 17.3m PS4's, and 10.1m XB1's. If they combined, that would be 25.5+ Nintony consoles and probably even less Microsoft consoles sold, since a lot of people would flock to Sony seeing games like Mario, Zelda, Battlefield, and Uncharted on the same console. Handhelds would boost too and there would be almost no gaps between exclusives, with 2 different strong companies working. |
I think it's far more complicated than your options. Sony is hanging on while the PS4 is doing very well, but it likely won't last forever. If PS does go down, it will likely be split up and sold in pieces with the PS name being only one part of it and the studios and IP's others. It's possible that Sony could actually shut down nearly everything they have with the exception of PS as it's one of their only profitable parts, but Sony is very large and unless it was sold in pieces I don't think Nintendo would be interested in too much of it other than a couple studios.
It would likely be bad for the industry in the end if Sony goes under. MS would probably be more likely to try to purchase much of it. Monopolies are bad and it could become that way.
Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.
