| Cobretti2 said: You are looking at it from the wrong perspective. as much as I prefer 2K Sports games over EA Sports games, FIFA and MADDEN is only made by them. This is what the goal should be. Bring back those Nintendo gamers who love 3rd party games but can't afford two consoles. Soo they get the 3rd party one as a couple first party games alone is not enough to win them. NOTE this will be a very small percentage like you say. However the main goal of this exercise is to hook the kids before they gorw into teens and go "were are the sports games?" and then transition to the next console. Nintendo's rebuild of audience will be slow. They need to create enough variety so that the current kids who become adults stick with them instead of jump ship. The window of opportunity will also be small, because each generation that the issue isn't fixed, the current kids that start to have kids in the future will not buy Nintendo for their kids because they grew up on XBOX and SONY. I am excluding the CASUAL MARKET as they are not reliable and will most liley stick to touch screen tablets and smart phones. |
So a long term strategy. Yeah, I think they should take the risk with it, and see if they're capable of attract more people, even if it's a slow process. I must say I'm not convinced in this working short term, but maybe long term, yeah, it could work. They should try at least. I don't care about third party games, actually, but I care about Nintendo so the more money for them, the better xDDDDDD.
