Forums - Gaming - Nintendo's business model is flawed

He's right. At any time my gaming rotation will be Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort, Wii Fit Plus, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mario Kart Wii, one DS game, one WiiWare game, one freeware PC or browser game, and one third party game. If Nintendo hadn't made all those games, third parties could get 70% of my playtime instead of 10% of my playtime.

yes, it all makes sense now. nintendo just makes too good of games, and third parties can't compete.



come try out the computer game i've been working on for my high school senior project, titled sling ball. http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=76669&page=1

you can view a few screenshots from the game in my photo album here; http://www.vgchartz.com/photos/album.php?album=2312

They could start by raising prices to 60 USD as well.

Then they could just cut the introduction levels to any game. There you go, 10 hours max, problem solved.

Yes. And they need more intrusive DRM and DLC too.

Clearly the absence of those things is what makes them the only unprofitable gaming company.

nintendo has always had the release fewer,but more quality game mentality.

If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

I would disagree, my most played game of all time is the original Mario. I still have my original cartridge, and in fact, I played today. I don't have it yet, but I imagine that the same is true for NSMBW.

I have over 1500 in the Disgaea series, 40 on Demon's Souls (haven't really started playing it yet), 200 on White Knight Chronicles, . You can't say there's not plenty of time sinks exclusive to the PS3. It's also easy to argue Little Big Planet has a much longer lifespan than any Mario game. 

Besides it's purely subjective. If you enjoy a game enough you can play it over and over, yet that game probably doesn't have a long 'lifespan' in the traditional sense. Most Mario games do not have long lifespans in the traditional sense. 

I can't speak for the 360 though, on my box the longest time I played an exclusive was for about 30hours. I did spend 42 days on Call of Duty 4 but I'm not sure if this counts. 

Disgaea = 3rd party

Demon's Souls = 3rd party

White Knight Chronicles = 2nd party
