| pokoko said: No. The philosophies followed by Microsoft and Nintendo are diametrically opposite. Microsoft forms partnerships with third-parties because they want to expand their platform and have it grow well beyond "games". They want Xbox to be a beachhead into the multimedia center of each user. It's all about services and subscriptions. They want to be a digital Wal-mart for multimedia, particularly in the west, especially in lucrative markets. Nintendo only grows their platform because it's a way to sell software. They resist new industry standards and are slow to transition to new technical advances. They only care about forming partnerships where they reap most of the benefits and only really pay attention to the Japanese market. |
i have to say this is a great perspective that you spelled out. Nintendo would fuck up xbox tbh, grew up on it,love it,but nintendo is to stuck in there ways. Xbox One has sold 30 million units, yes less than the xbox 360,but 10 million more than the original xbox from 2001, in my eyes the xbox one is a success, ive had them all wiiu,ps4,and xbox one, and i have to say the xbox one is my favorite of them all because of its bonus features ,its a multi-media center BEAST LOL. So people in this forum and everywhere dissing the xbox one i just dont get it tbh, its a pretty good console, and if anyone needs saving its nintendo LMAO.Luckily the switch is doing well because they need it,sure they are still living off Wii money from 2006 but that will run out eventually after that Flop we call WiiU.
