Forums - Nintendo - Could Nintendo Buy the PlayStation Brand?

 

Nintendo buys PlayStation if Sony dies?

Yes, create a juggernaut! 208 69.33%
 
No, both are doomed 92 30.67%
 
Total:300

I certainly would hope not. Sony makes quality hardware whereas nintendo... Well we all know. It would be far better for consumers if nintendo went 3rd party instead.

It wouldn't really work out, nevermind that they probably can't afford to buy PS in the first place. Nintendo and Sony both have completely different philosophies and goals when it comes to consoles and games.



And why would Nintendo even consider buying Naughty Dog? Their games are just "grey and brown interactive movies with bad gameplay" x{



I don't think ninentado would even be interested in playstation. They are more of a legacy company and will keep on the lower end of the consoles and keep the crowd that buys Mario/Zelda/Pokemon. It seems since the GameCube they are mainly going to stay on the course they are planning.

And a merger of any of the 3 main console makers I don't think would ever get approval from the different governments around the world. No matter if ninentado/playstation, xbox/ninentado or xbox/Playstation the new group would have a huge advantage on the other one. And if Playstation would be sold, my best guess that the buyer would be someone like Amazon.

And for the earlier comment about Microsoft ruining halo and rare. Micosoft didn't do either of those. Bungie wanted to move on from halo for new projects and microsoft let them leave to make destiny. (And bungie already had the idea for destiny since atleast halo:ODST. And for rare, yes they are not taking games like they used too, but several of the staff that where there before the buyout have said that rare would have been bankrupt and most likely been gone.

the topic, could this company buy that company never gets old, eh?


It's always thinly-disguised port-begging. VGChartz needs to start banning this shit.

I don't see that happening at all.



I don't see nintendo wanting it.



PS is not for sale. And even if it was, it wouldn't go to Nintendo.

They should buy Naughty Dog and make them create a panzy uncharted game; the anger and outrage would be something to savor



Even if PS went up for sale, another media giant would give Nintendo a run for their money.
