You still don't understand that "like the Wii" doesn't mean exactly like the Wii. One key point of being "like the Wii" is being an alternative to the AAA rubbish the industry churns out and Switch certainly fulfills that criterion. Your premise has been that Nintendo must please AAA third parties if they ever want to have a successful console again because "casuals and gimmicks" aren't going to cut it. Also, the Wii was selling primarily off traditional Nintendo IPs too. Switch's portable aspect certainly qualifies as gimmick. Switch's standard controller (Joy-Cons) is also a motion controller. Switch is very much like the Wii, but there's one big difference: The industry hasn't been able to think up anything to put it down, so the industry has mostly remained quiet about it. The closing paragraph of my post wasn't about what Sony thinks, but what you think. You try to laugh off my post, but it doesn't reflect well on you that you didn't address the majority of my post. It is ironic that you said in an earlier post in this thread that most people don't understand business and then here you are talking about revenue in order to claim superiority of Sony's console business. |
I also want to point this out at Sony it is not all rainbows and that everything is great. This is largely due to the company as a whole because Sony does phone components i don't know the full extent but they have been doing it for awhile still not as successful, cameras yeah no one buys Sony cameras anymore, TVs just get an LG or a Samsung, movies while some successes here they also make movies like ghostbusters 2016, charlies angles 2019, MIB international, and the emoji movie, and then they have the PlayStation brand the thing is this is only part of Sony that does well and most quarters if it was a slow one for the PlayStation or they have no hit movie the report a loss and everything their rides on the success of the PS4 and soon PS5 but say the PS5 doesn't capture the market and flops like the PS3? Sony will be in a world of hurt since with the PS3 the company hadn't collapsed so they could take it but now it seems more ify also before you say blu ray disk are successful which they aren't due to the fact that the DVD is still the most popular way to watch movies and now they have a better disk format than blu rays which is 4K so even though they poured tons of money into it the blu ray was kinda a failure because it didn't take over the market like DVDs or VHS did. So even if PSN made a lot of money they just go pee it away on their cameras.
