Disney is a mega entertainment conglomerate that runs the biggest movie studio in the world with several sub-studios within that structure, owns several television networks, their own theme parks, their own cruise ships, large real estate holdings, their own hotels, etc. etc.

Nintendo just makes video games and a few toys more or less. So that is not really equivalent.

What Nintendo can be, and I think they will be is one of the leading smartphone game makers in terms of money.

They will make a ton of money off smartphone games.

Well Nintendo is also entertainment company while Sony and MS are tech companies, they also wants own movies, they want their own theme parks and they already have own toys. With combination with consoles and game for mobiles they clearly wants to be more like Disney and not only gaming company, but of course that main focus will still be gaming.


There's a big distinction here ... Nintendo is not making their own theme parks. They are licensing their characters to Universal for theme park attractions. No different from properties like The Simpsons, Transformers, and a dozen other IPs. They are not making their own movies either, they are going to license those characters for a film studio to then make said movie.
