Pretty ignorant article, if I'm honest. He ends it with "I think what they're doing is best." No. It's clearly not best. In what backwards world is performing the worst the best decision to make?

If he has an argument against Dan's suggestion, he needs to come up with a superior alternative. Staying the same is the inferior alternative, clearly.

I always say this, but if Nintendo wants third parties, they need to spend the money. What they're doing now with 3rd party collaborations is a small step, but it's not enough. Instead of investing more money securing multiples, they need to spend money creating exclusives that create an ecosystem that those games can actually live in.

Nintendo will never keep games like Destiny on their systems if they have no exclusives that can bring those types of gamers in. They need to invest heavily in western studios that can make those types of games. Nintendo needs like 5 studios like Retro/Rare, and they need to be focused exclusively on making new Western IPs. And they have to be good, quality games with mass western appeal.

Once Nintendo has an exclusive ecosystem that houses games similar to those made by western devs, they can finally bring over those gamers with those exclusives, which means that the console will have an audience that would actually buy those games.

In other words. If Nintendo wants GTA, first they have to make GTA.
