| Twilord said: Sony don't especially know how to support handhelds while Nintendo do know how to support consoles. - In short, it wouldn't make any difference to my Super DS but it would be lovely for Sony fans I suppose. Also Nintendo are a long way from supporting smart-devices... Sony may be closer but only because it doesn't conflict with the PS4/5. |
Nintendo has lost 70 million of the DS 150 million userbase in about 4 years flat. Sony's handheld division has been eradicated entirely.
If the next handheld cycle continues to be ravaged by smartphones, I wouldn't be so sure.
Now is a good time for Nintendo to strike a favorable deal that protects them while they still have some leverage as a business.
Because if things go badly next time out, Iwata could very well be forced out by investors, and guess what type of person they will insist on being Nintendo's next CEO?
That's right ... some puppet CEO who will greenlight support for Nintendo games on iOS/Android as one of his first moves. Don't let it go there Nintendo. Protect yourself, act now and create a unified front rather than fighting two unwinnable wars at the same time.
Maybe the Soviet and the Western Allies weren't natural friends, but the alternative ... a Nazi dominated Europe was sure as hell 1000x worse.
