Does Nintendo require VR/AR to remain relevant...?

How is VR/AR unique if Sony, Microsoft, Apple, Samsung, HTC, LG, Google, Facebook and others are already heavily invested in it? Isnt doing what everyone else is doing the exact opposite of unique?

Games like Silent Hill, Ico & Dark Souls are going to help them immensely? Not sure if you realize this but Nintendo funded Fatal Frame, Devil's Third & Bayonetta 2, they have invested in mature titles.

Well Microsft's offering is enterprise only, Samsung and Google's are low end, and no one knows about Apple's offering. Implementation is key - considering it's brand new tech, I'm sure they can find a way to make it unique. 

Fatal Frame is fine, but Devil's Third and Bayonetta have not translated well into the western market - they have too many traditional Japanese game aspects such as characters that walk around half naked and still a fixation on Japanese style and design. While Devil's Third was hammered in reviews, the mechanics behind Bayonetta are brilliant, but most people will take a 3 second look at playing a game where the main character is an annorexic woman with bolt-on tits running around in skin-tight PVC and instantly dismiss it. Which is entirely fair. Nintendo needs to grow up and realise mature is more than half-naked characters and gore, a transition the Metal Gear series has mostly managed to do. 

So Microsoft/Samsung/Google/Apple arent competition because they target different markets. The same can be said for Oculus & Vive, those are for high-end PCs which is an entirely different market from Nintendo so that leaves just Sony with PSVR. Basically what your saying is that Sony is doing so Nintendo is doomed if they dont?

Ok i can agree that Bayonetta & Devil's Third didnt really catch on but neither did Ico or Silent Hill (hasnt sold over 1 million in 15 years) so you are contradicting yourself, the only title you listed that is somewhat relevant is Dark Souls which does around 2-3 million.

Also Nintendo thinks that half-naked women is mature? You do realize that they have been getting alot flak lately for minimizing the amount of revealing outfits in games?

Im confused about the Metal Gear statement, are you saying they do or dont utilize half-naked women? Because if your saying they dont than you have no idea what you're talking about.
