If by that you mean "open new studios", by all means, they absolutely should. Hell, they should have expanded their workforce years ago, back when the DS/Wii were going strong. If they had created studios with young devs and put them to make budget games on those systems, by now they would be experienced enough to make decent A-AA releases, even big budget games if they felt daring. But buying other's studios is not something I would really defend, mostly because I don't want the industry to gobble up itself whole, and reduce the entire market to just a dozen or so companies. |
^This!
Nintendo's biggest mistake with the Wii was failing to invest all those profits into more game development.
Also, consumers get a better deal when there are more companies vying for their dollar. The more consolidated the games industry becomes, the more a single company can afford to screw over it's consumers. This is why we keep seeing shady practices like MTX rise in games.
