And market all that? Your talking about spending hundreds of millions of dollars. Billions potentially, even with Nintendo's high efficiency. I do think they should up their game on exclusives even more next gen in variety, timing, and marketing. But matching all the major 3rd parties? That's so much work it's mind boggling to contemplate. |
I'm not really suggesting Nintendo should spend as much money as other AAA titles. One of Nintendo's advantages over the competition is that their games cost much less than most of AAA multiplas and exclusives. However, even if Nintendo doesn't spend as much as the rest doesn't mean they shouldn't touch genres dominated by AAA games. I'm sure Splatoon costed less than the lates CoD, but the possitive effect on the WiiU is still noticeable. Nintendo needs more games like it. And also, they don't need to carry more than one risky project at a time. If Nintendo tried to make three new IPs and market all of them at the same time it would hurt the sales of all of them. But one at a time wouldn't hurt. Maybe a new IP or a risky collaboration per year could fill a lot of holes on Nintendo's library.
And, yes. Nintendo should improve its output. Making a Fusion system would be a step in the right direction, but havin a couple more studios wouldn't hurt them.
