I only bring up Nintendo's IP because they've stated numerous times that they plan on branching outside of gaming to grow their brand recognition. Yes it will be a task at hand, but it's not as farfetched as you make it seem like catching lightening in a bottle. Look at how Disney grew the Marvel brand in just a short amount of time. The potential was always there, its just that no one put in the efforts and money that Disney did on a larger scale. This is the same with Nintendo and they have the potential to be something more than what they currently are but people just get stuck on what they've done in the past. |
Sigh..... ok. Nintendo typically sells every peice of hardware at a profit. Meanig if they sell all they make they will still be profitable at least on the hardware front.
My point on why it doesnt matter if they are profitable or not, is that this discussion is about their console business. The NX in particular. They can come in and sell only 15M NXs in the next 4yrs and still turn a profit..... i doubt thats what they would consider as being successful though or what they are trying to do when their nearest competitor is making more money than them just from their network services.....
