It's talking about going third party, if they went third party people like me would buy more of their games. Unless I'm mistaken? |
I said in the OP that there are a few Nintendo franchises whose success can be linked to install base, games like Mario Kart & Smash Bros are two of the titles I had in mind. I'm mostly asking about Nintendo's portfolio as a whole, will things like Kirby, Yoshi, Metroid, Fire Emblem, Donkey Kong, Mario Party, Paper Mario, Mario Sports, Pokémon, Pikmin, Kid Icarus, Fossil Fighters, Rhythm Heaven, WarioWare, Xenoblade, Punch-Out, etc show significant growth by being on Playstation/Xbox?
Like I have shown in the OP and in subsequent posts, many of these franchises seem to sell a similar amount regardless of how well the hardware sells which is a pretty big sign that these games won't see that much growth simply by being on competitors devices that have bigger install bases. Does going 3rd party as a whole benefit Nintendo or would we basically see a select few titles show massive growth while the rest remain stagnant? Does the growth of these select few titles outweigh the fact that Nintendo no longer makes money from hardware, accessories, 3rd party royalties while also having to pay royalties?
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
