They're already available to anyone who wants them.


I don't think so. These are mainstream IP that everyone knows and many people have grown up on. 

Nintendo's consoles are the problem, not their IP. People love the IP. They just don't want to have to buy a seperate, gimmick-ey $300 console to play them on.

Put a few of these bigger IP on the PS4 and let Sony co-market them like they did with Destiny and you would see huge sales. I have zero doubt about that. 


But they are already available to anyone who wants them.  I get that people don't want to pay more money than necessary, but having to buy a console for it's exclusives is part of the costs associated with gaming.  It's not somehow unique to Nintendo.  There are a few Sony exclusives that I want to play, but I don't really want to pay $400 for what amounts to a subpar pc.  I would absolutely love to save that money and just play them on my computer.  Should I expect that?  Because I don't.  I only see these conditionals aimed at Nintendo, but they really could be applied to anyone.
