If Sony makes a "Playstation Switch" could it succeed?

Nintendo holding all the trademarks means that Pokémon won't release on PlayStation, because Nintendo would veto such a plan.

You continue to mistake Nintendo's 33% stake in the Pokémon Company as a 33% share in ownership of the IP. Since Nintendo holds 100% of the trademarks, all they have to do is say 'no' to Pokémon on PlayStation and that's the end of it.

I mention this in a prior post, which is fine. Nin says no to Pokemon on PS devices. So either PS uses their majority stake to ruin Pokemon however they decide to do so, screwing over Nin, or Nin can hold onto it and do nothing with it, or they can continue to make Pokemon games and give PS two thirds of the profits for doing absolutely nothing.

While ninty owns 33% of the pokemon company (along with a large portion of both of the other companies, creatures and GF), they are the SOLE OWNER of the IP. Meaning they can just let another studio, a new internal studio, or a new 2nd party company made by pulling out all the key people from GF (most of them are ex-ninty staff or have HIGH loyalty because ninty helped then a LOT when starting out, and I mean a LOT). SO sony wpuld just have wasted money in this case.

Not that ninty's finantial team would let this happen... if it comes to push and shove, ninty has more cash on hand than sony after all, let alone SIE.
