Why doesn't nintendo buy 3rd parties?

that's like asking a dairy farmer why he doesn't buy milk from the supermarket.


 But they'll never buy the cow if you give away the milk for free, oh wait...

A better question would be "With all the Wii's Nintendo is selling, why would they want to spend money on third party developers?"



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Wii needs better third party support but as its still selling out i don't think Nintendo will be throwing money around for exclusives.



 

 

I think they should just keep making great 1st party games. The more units they move, with their own games, the more necessary it's going to be for 3rd parties to develop for them also. I think and hope this is their strategy.

Isn't Factor 5 supposed to be working on a mysterious, big Nintendo IP (possibly Kid Icarus, if you believe the rumour mill)?

Seems to me that Nintendo is already paying 3rd parties to develop for the Wii, they just decided that they'd like to use their IP and reap the most reward from the effort. Who knows what kind of similar deals may be in the works right now.

They should not buy games but studio's, studios like Retro.

>dam this thread is so good i dont now why a lot of people arent replying

the reason why people don't reply?

Nintendo fanboys don't because it would silently agree that Wii lacks third party AAA games.

non-Nintendo Fanboys don't because then they'd get flamed for anything they say, because frankly, anything they say would be viewed as flamebait.


In short, Nintendo doesn't do that, they've never done it. As for third-party's view, why would they? Why spend 10 million dollars on an AAA games when a game that cost 1 million could probably sell almost as much? Where's the incentive for that?

Wrong. People do not generally avoid threads for fear of flaming. There has to actual flaming ALREADY there.

Why are you acting as though Nintendo fans are nothing but flamers (in a way that implies only they are like that)? This seems like a form of sideways Nintendo bashing. 

The rean Non-Nintendo fanboys won't post is because this isn't that interesting to them.

The Nintendo bashers won't post because that would mean they would have to admit Nintendo is making money, something they actually denied in the GC years. 

 

I would have posted this sooner, but this site often says pages are forbidden. WTF.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
