There is no risk in Pokemon Go. It has a small budget and uses the Pokemon IP.

Risk would be like having AAA games that have never been done before and where there is a likelihood that the investment wouldn't be worth it like Gran Turismo, God of War and Halo were. Sony also takes a lot of risks with new games with big budgets that are targetting an audience which may not be there.

Nintendo has taken risks in the past, but Pokemon Go is not one of them.

Nintendo took the risks in the 90s with red/blue. I don't get how Nintendo taking risks in the past doesn't count. Nintendo took the ultimate risk when they made a console after the great gaming crash when people thought it was foolish to do so.

Nope. Taking over the world like this is a Nintendo thing. The twins can't do it because it requires appealing to everyone and being willing to take a risk.


You said they can't do it without taking a risk implying Pokemon Go is a risk. Its not. As I said already, Nintendo has taken risks but this is not one.

I also think Sony takes far more risks than Nintendo especially in the current decade.
