None of that former console manufacturers had as many huge IPs as Nintendo. Not even close.

SEGA, SNK, Atari having no huge IPs? They have no huge IPs now because they failed commercially to transition to third party but at the time their IPs were quite huge. Look also at Capcom or Konami, owning huge IPs dont mean necessary sucess these days

I never said those hadn't big IPs. I said that none of them had as many and as big as Nintendo.

 

Also, I never said that having important IPs is a guaranteed success. What I wanted to say is that we haven't seen someone as big as Nintendo trying the 3rd party way. Atari, SEGA, SNK... they were big, but not as big as Nintendo in terms of IPs and influence.

 

Also, they went south because they were already doomed before becoming 3rd party. Nintendo is pretty much healthy.
