| mountaindewslave said: I disagree, even with their worst selling console in decades Nintendo is not losing much or any money this generation overall because of the 3DS I would prefer them to do well next generation, but Nintendo is a very stubborn company and if you think they are going to stop developing consoles/hardware simply due to one or 2 bad generations I think that's naive to predict if they didn't have a ton of cash in the bank I would agree, but they do. the only way Nintendo disappears as a hardware maker is if they did absolutely abysmal for a few generations which is unlikely possibly Nintendo will only do handhelds in the future though if the next console fails it's hard to cut them into such a precarious spot when they have more money reserves (by a landslide) than the dominant Playstation Sony currently (who is probably still in debt) Nintendo will likely be fine next generation anyway, they just need to streamline their system. more than enough fans (hardcore and casual) of their brands and IPS for them not to succeed |
You're making up shit. I never said they was losing much money. I never said they'd get out of the console business. I just said they'd stick to mobile. I could see them releasing a cheap, but massively successful android-based console if the NX fails.
It's not hard at all. Companies are there to make money. If Nintendo keeps losing money, they aren't going to just continue their losing streak. They will pull another Wii and change their direction completely to something many people like us weren't fond of.
