| Libara said: Different markets, Nintendo won't be competing for HD gaming, best graphics etc. They haven't for a long time as they understand they have games that everybody loves, Mario, Zelda etc. This will sell a lot, maybe not as much as people are hoping but it will definitely help them get back into the market. Why would they want to release their games on MS or Sony platforms when they know they can sell enough on their own for profit. This in a way makes me prefer Nintendo to others as it ensures they make good games, not rushed for profit or put out half assed games as they know it will sell. They have IPs that will sell their hardware without needing 10 TFlops to boast about. |
this really though in a nutshell ^^^^
even if somehow Nintendo was aiming for a different audience than Sony/Micro (they're not, but whatever) how do you seriously think logically releasing their games on other VIDEO GAME system would help? People want to game and if they potentially could get some of Nintendo's best offerings elsewhere those are customers the big N would potentially lose on their own hardware.
it just doesn't make sense. Nintendo's draw are their IPs... why would they cut a deal involving that. Now a better theory would be at some point that they might possibly do a collaboration system with another big developer. I could see Sony and Nintendo working on a project together. But cutting off part of their library and drawing away people from their own hardware? just bizarre
the market is not big enough for the big N to be aiming for a different type of gamer like you suggest. The same type of person who wants to play Dark Souls on the PS4 may easilyyyy want to play Zelda on the Switch
