So Google is trying to get their Google+ service to be a legit option in competing with Facebook. We have Microsoft who has the Facebook app on 360. Why isn't Google pursuing Nintendo and Sony to get Google+ on their platforms that is 100+ million potential customers. With WiiU having an open online network largely if I was Google I would get Google+ on WiiU in major ways. If Google could get Origin to support Google+ go after all the tech savvy gamers.

Google has been trying to get games on the service. But what if Google could team up with EA or Nintendo or Sony or all of the above to integrate Google+ with PSN or Nintendo's network or Origin. If Google had those companies support and made Google+ a service that worked with the major game companies they would have a major stepping stone into competitive capability with Facebook. Then Google could sign up a major film company and secure the rights to get their press releases and trailers streamed over Google+ before they appear on competitors programs like Facebook. Android was so successful because Apple worked with everyone, if Google can get Google+ on all the major platforms except maybe Microsoft. Then Google would have a major leg up

A major thing that I noticed Google+ only appeared on my Android store a few weeks ago. That is inexcusable Facebook should not have been on Google devices before Google+. With Google Glass Google+ will need to be the default social network and Google will need to use every resource possible to give Google+ a fighting chance.

If Google got Google+ integrated into game consoles and services like Origin or WiiU. If Google got film companies on board and used all of the companies it can opening Google+ up to the world. Could they actually one day become a viable alternative to Facebook?

No



How does that serve Sony or Nintendo? No benefits. Facebook will always be everyone's first choice.



Sadman Microsoft is benefitting from Facebook. Sony and Nintendo could benefit if Google integrated Google+ I am not simply saying put Google+ app on WiiU/PS3/4 I am saying Google actually integrate Google+ into their services. Nintendo is trying to become an online super power with WiiU if Google got involved they would be a very valuable asset their is no more experienced online company then Google. Sony too could benefit from getting Google+ involved with PSN.

Google is a very experienced online company. One that is making massive advancements in technology.. also keep in mind Apple is supposed entering the console industry. A corporate alliance with Google integrating Google+ could greatly benefit Sony and Nintendo in defending against Apple.

It would defend against msft as well, since mr softy is about to come out with a social media service

U sure about that?  Google has things like maps, and things like feeding users of google search directly to google+, and has way more $$$$ to throw at the issue than Facebook. I remember listening to the google conference call a few days ago, and google+ already has 179 million members, compare that to around a hundred million google+ users which was the number that google gave out last January.
