Retro Studios should be Nintendo's Naughty Dog: Journey to the West

This is a unique perspective that I never really considered but you're absolutely right. PlayStation as a brand has legitimately grown up with its fan base. Crash appealed to me as a kid, jack and daxter appealed to me as a young teen, uncharted as a young adult and then we have the last of us. I'm 22 now. A 22 year old playing the last of us? I'm they're demographic. 

 

More than that though we can see the same pattern in quite a handful of their first party devs. They've grown up with us in content creation. Nintendo has remained stagnant in appeal in that they choose to use well established IPs with bright color palettes and simple designs which in my honest opinion, is targeted at the 8-12 year old me. Except back then we didn't have access to online gaming or the call of duties of today and herein lies a key factor - our youth, now, doesn't play the same games we did back then. They've jumped ahead. How many times can you jump into a game of team death match and hear little ass kids swearing they're mouths out? They've left behind Nintendo. Nintendo needs to adapt.

Oh you PlayStation kids...

When you were in your diapers, the kids at the time were playing Mortal Kombat and proclaimed that they are too old for Nintendo.

God it's funny when the young'uns think Playstation invented "mature" gaming... XD

Far out I feel old haha...
