Nintendo's best talent has to make games that sell the hardware, because if they don't, who else is going to do it on a large scale. The more hardware that is sold, the more games sell overall, and now there's also a subscription for online multiplayer. Software sells hardware is the most fundamental aspect of the business, so advocating that it is fine if Nintendo's top developers waste their time on IPs that didn't catch on is perplexing. |
They can do both. It's not an either or situation, they can make system selling titles and niche 1-2 million sellers. Nintendo's not some indie developer who can't spread themselves too thin. They have 700 developers in-house. They're one of the most profitable publishers in the industry, they can afford niche titles in-house.
