The N64 and GameCube were pure gaming devices. The PSOne and PS2 were gaming devices and home media consoles with the PSOne being an incredibly cheap (yet considered one of the GOAT) CD players. The PS2 was an incredibly cheap DVD player. Sony didn’t get to where they are just from “big franchises” - they got there by revolutionizing the home entertainment you can get from a cheap console. If Nintendo truly wanted to compete and put out a console capable of home entertainment, Sony would be in the same pickle Microsoft is in now. Sony’s current first-party Line-up, although growing and improving, pales in comparison to Nintendo’s and if they didn’t have the advantages of third-Party support, home entertainment capabilities and ergonomic controls over Nintendo, I don’t see what they’d have left - except their hardcore phones and a history of trophies.
But luckily, this will never happen and we won’t see Nintendo truly start to poach third parties until a Switch revision that upgrades the hardware. |
You are really underestimating how popular the playstation brand is in the home console market. nintendo knows better thats why they don't even try to compete, just look at the wiiu, it couldn't even compete against 360/ps3 despite having all there features, and more. I hope nintendo does try so we can put the theory to rest.
