Yeah that happens, but I don't see the point regarding what we discuss about. The stupid argument about competition was countered on many levels. It is the same kind of wrong, as people pointing out attach rate of a game. That is not comparable. If competition was the main thing here, than the same games should sell more on WiiU than Switch. But they don't. As it does not work that way with competition. Having more to choose from does not make top AAA games suffer for instance on PS4. That is because people have different tastes and usually choose the games in the genres they like and ignore the rest. If console X (like a Nintendo console) doesn't have these games, then the console isn't bought in the first place. Anyways, thread contains much more plausible arguments than that competition crap anyways, like to sell DLC and microtransactions you need to sell the game first, |
If you mean that chart then it hasn't been countered at all. That chart doesn't mean what you seem to think it means, despite you and others trying to make a big deal out of it. That is, unless you're trying to tell me that Vroom in the Night Sky holds the same value as Red Dead Redemption 2 when it comes to competition? If that's the case then I'll certainly listen to your argument.
Trying to discredit the effects of competition in a free market system is like trying to discredit the effects of gravity. The only thing that can be argued is the scope. That you call it "stupid" tells me all I need to know about your mindset. I get the impression that only arguments that make Nintendo looks good are going to be considered.
The example I gave in another thread fits here, as well. If you take ARMS, and I mean the exact same game, and throw it on PS4 and Xbox, it would not perform nearly as well. Why? Because of competition. Explain to me how that wouldn't be the case.
I don't even understand how people can convince themselves that competition isn't an important factor. Most consumers will buy a limited number of games in a year. If you double the amount of games available, they won't double the number of games they purchase. Titles get pushed down the list. Nintendo isn't magically immune from this and it's crazy to think they're invulnerable to the effects.
