The only way that benefits Nintendo is if said titles sell well and move consoles for Nintendo. Now in order for these games to sell strong numbers and move hardware is by stealing sales from the other consoles. What exactly is going to make the millions of people who play games like Call of Duty, Battlefield, Assassin's Creed, Grand Theft Auto, Watch Dogs, Destiny, Need for Speed, Elder Scrolls, NBA 2K, etc jump ship and buy Nintendo hardware instead of Playstation/Xbox? There has to be some type of incentive for these gamers to choose Nintendo's box over Sony's or Microsoft's. Is it Nintendo's 1st party offerings? Probably not since the majority of Nintendo's ip aren't aimed at the same demographic as AAA western 3rd party titles. Is the person who buys the annual release of Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, their favorite sport game, a racing Sim and whatever the big overhyped game of the year happens to be, going to choose Nintendo's box because of the like of Mario, Donkey Kong, Kirby, Yoshi, Pikmin, Pokemon, Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Zelda, Metroid, Fire Emblem, Xenoblade? No probably not. The only way that these people would move onto Nintendo's box is basically if one or both of the competitors make huge mistakes like $600 launch price or RROD or DRM/always online fiasco. Let's say Sony makes a big mistake, wouldn't these gamers be more likely to jump ship to Xbox since for about a decade now, Playstation & Xbox have been known for offering up similar experiences and vice versa? Basically Sony & Microsoft need to make huge mistakes for these gamers to jump ship to Nintendo and if ur strategy is banking on the others to fail than u have a pretty messed up strategy. |
Who cares about nintendo as a consumer (makeing money)? I just want nintendo to make a awesom consol.
I dont care about them makeing more money selling their own games (greed), I rather have more games on the consol to pick from.
It starts with them getting 3rd party back. Pretty sure nintendo would sell more units if they got 3rd party back too.

^ The nintendo games.
You wont find those on the ps4 or xbox1.
If you have 3rd party and you have nintendo games, people will buy nintendo over playstation or xbox.

Kids dont buy consols.... mom and dad do.
Some parents game too, and if they can have the grownup games along with stuff their kids can play, thats going to be a bigger motivation to buy a nintendo consol.
