Because it shows complacency and laziness which leads to shrinking long term sales, which is a big no-no for investors. Microsoft is doing all they can to give themselves every advantage to compete and make more money from the Xbox and Gaming division long term. Nintendo's investors see that and will go "Well, what are you guys doing?" And not too long ago, Nintendo was the worst-selling platform maker with the Wii U. And people saw their moves of jumping into mobile as desperate and unifying their hardware divisions with a system that was around the same power as the Wii U - foolish. Meanwhile, Sony - the hottest selling platform maker at the time, just kept trucking on business as usual. Now look where Nintendo is now, and look where Sony is now. Granted, Sony's still in a good position, but many are predicting that the PS5 will sell less, and as such, make less, than the PS4, and Microsoft's latest purchase just reinforces that idea. When you're on top, coasting is the absolute LAST thing investors want you to do. They're like sharks in water - You smell blood, you go for the kill. |
And they jumped to number one without buying a studio. They just had to release better hardware and games. Nintendo is anything but complacent. We just saw them show 2 exclusive Monster Hunter games that we know Capcom didn't do on their own. They are publishing Bayo 3. We got Astral Chain. They published DQXI. Published Daemon X Machina. They are making deals to publish a lot of stuff. Letting 3rd parties make spinoffs of their treasured IPs. Nintendo is also been putting out new IPs and best versions of est ones. MS has been buying up studios since they got in console gaming and they have yet to be the best selling console. So that has not worked out for them yet they keep trying the same thing. MS manages studios poorly in general. Same old song and dance.
