The "Console Wars" Are Over

Nintendo is the only company with the ability to have a console war. No other company has the IP muscle to make console gaming work. The only way games other than Nintendo games are selling is by being on every platform known to man at an 80% discount.

Which is why Nintendo games will never go multi-platform. Please stop saying they will because they made some Mobile games. Putting your games on Mobile and using your IP to make mobile games ARE NOT THE SAME THING. You will not legally be able to play Age of Imprisonment unless you have a Switch 2 and they're going to war with the darkweb to make sure the only place you can legally play their retro library is on NSO..

Nintendo expanded into cinema and animation way back in the late 80s with the Super Mario Bros. Super Show and the Super Mario Movie. The only difference between Nintendo today and Nintendo in the late 1980s is their expansion into those realms worked today when it didn't work back then. Nintendo has always wanted to be the new Disney, and they're well on their way to that now.

The console market is shrinking because Nintendo is the only player in town with their competitors going a different direction. everyone but Nintendo has a strategy which deprioritizes console sales to focus on software sales, which is where the real money has always been anyway.

Imagine actually thinking like this as if it's real... just wow.
