| Mnementh said: I think Nintendo needs to drop home console and focus on handheld. Home console games are eating up a lot more resources than handheld games and the profit is much smaller (or often inexistant). NIntendo can output enough games to create great support for a handheld if they put together all their resources, but even if they put together all resources for home console, the supoprt only would be mediocre, as HD-games eat up so much manpower. |
Business speaking this would be safe but there wouldn't be any room for them to grow. The Handheld market has a roof and I don't think Nintendo could have done much more to sell the 3DS. Even if they poured all their resources into the system there is only so much revenue they could make back, only so much software they could sell before cannabalising their own sales.
Outside of profit I'm pretty sure Nintendo want to deliver experiences for the big screen like Zelda, 3D Mario, Mario Kart, Smash Bros....so until its financially unviable they will continue to do so. if this was all just a discussion of money they would have released a freemium pokemon game on mobile years ago but they have actual values and ambitions that they want to deliver on.
