| Mazzy said: That doesn't make any sense. Sony is very diversified. Why use Nintendo as a whole but then just compare it to PlayStation rather than their parent company? I'm not sure how much success Nintendo will find through this. Their mobile app was a flop, their amiibos are relatively small source of income, and Nintendo's leadership is archaic and god awful so I don't trust them to be able to go about this in a smart way. I mean who the hell has no E3 conference and focuses on only one game when they need to prove themselves the most? And Nintendo didn't even have a conference at Gamescom, PGW, TGS, etc. last year either iirc. |
Becuase Nintendo is an entertainment company only, that's why I only compared it to Playstation. Sony has it's hands in cameras, financial services, mobile phones (barely), movies, TVs, and music (and probably more that Im forgetting). Two different companies with two different industries they're in.
And again their mobile game wasn't really a game with little keeping players engaged so that might not be the best measure of their success in the field. We'll have to wait and see how it looks after more mobile games come out. And yes amiibo have been a smaller source of income so hopefully they can find a way to grow that.
Also apperently having only one game (even though there were more) to show wasn't all that bad. Zelda was well received and talked about alot on social media and the like. I'm sure Nintendo knows they have to prove themselves also but how do you do that when your two systems are in the very late stages in their life? They did the best with what they have and that's all we can say.
I didn't know they weren't at Gamescom or PGW so I can't say much on that. But I do know that TGS is something that Nintendo doesn't normally attend. Plus given the state of the Japanese market (which TGS caters to I'm sure), and their position in that market, I'm sure Nintendo doesn't have to sweat not being there.
