Both the Switch and the PS4/XBO are aimed at playing video games with a fairly high level of graphical fidelity. There isn't enough differentiation in the products to warrant Nintendo making a deal with Microsoft or Sony.

Really? So why's 70% of their own demo video showing people playing the system outside the house? Nintendo can call it whatever they want, it's not a competitor to the PS4 or XB Scorpio, not any more than the DS was to say the XBox 360, and Microsoft even allowed some of its games onto the DS because of that reasoning ... there's no competetion between the two there really so why not. |
nonsense, you're just talking out of your ass. Its not magically 'not competition' because you say so.
A) the console hasn't come out yet
B) you haven't used the console and
C) obviously the console is in fact a home console that will have some of the same games on the other home console systems
whats hilarious is you make a claim like this when undoubtedly when the Switch releases it will dramatically effect the sales of the Xone and PS4, systems you claim aren't 'direct competitors'
just silly

Actually I kinda feel like it would be Microsoft.
Why? Because Microsoft is so desperate I think they would give Nintendo a deal so sweet that they might not be able to resist it. Talking a monstrous amount of cash bags, zero licensing fees, maybe even a stake in the XBox brand itself.
Plus I think Nintendo really values that Minecraft brand, Minecraft Amiibo, Minecraft x Pokemon or Mario ... and then there's also Rare too I guess, wouldn't be bad to see some of those IP back on a Nintendo system (Banjo, Killer Instinct, etc.).
Sony is already beating MS pretty handily, so I dunno if they would offer Nintendo as much on a deal. They're simply not as desperate, kinda hard to be when you're 25 million ahead or whatever it is.
We'll see, lol, I expected a lot of NOPES, but I got the exact same response when I suggested a Nintendo hybrid-portable platform over a year ago here.
It wouldn't just be Nintendo making games for Sony or MS, they would have to offer games in return as well.
Different markets, Nintendo won't be competing for HD gaming, best graphics etc. They haven't for a long time as they understand they have games that everybody loves, Mario, Zelda etc. This will sell a lot, maybe not as much as people are hoping but it will definitely help them get back into the market.
Why would they want to release their games on MS or Sony platforms when they know they can sell enough on their own for profit. This in a way makes me prefer Nintendo to others as it ensures they make good games, not rushed for profit or put out half assed games as they know it will sell.
They have IPs that will sell their hardware without needing 10 TFlops to boast about.

Where are you getting this MS/Nintendo partnership theory from?
It's not the first time you've pushed this if I remember right. You seem to really want this.

I am on the other side of my sig....am I warm or cold?

Was anyone else talking about a hybrid all-in-one console/portable or the Tegra chip, because I seem to recall taking a lot of flak and attitude from some posters for bringing up both for well over a year now, not just one off guesses. I seem to recall you even said the concept of the hybrid was impossible because it would be too similar to the Wii U, well lo and behold. Dual analogs (oh no casuals!) and all. |
tons of people were talking about both and random online sources mentioned both of those possibilities before you. Stop giving yourself too much credit. Your predictions about Nintendo 'making a deal' with Sony/Micro are just absolutely absurd and reflect nothing of the Nintendo anyones knows
Not to mention desperate companies make deals like that. Not ones that are doing reasonably well. You don't make hardware deals with other companies when you have exclusive IPs that you can use to your advantage when at the same time you're capable of producing your own hardware
if we were talking about a company in debt this would be a different story
I think Switch is a transition device. Within the next 10 years they will be a mobile only company. They chase blue oceans. Mobile is the biggest bluest ocean ever. Switch is them trying to reconcile their game dev teams to mobile, and is more than likely gearing them up for the mobile transition in the future.
Doubtful, but will have to see

| mountaindewslave said: nonsense the Switch is in fact a home console that CAN be used portably. Its a bit of a mix but the trailer simply emphasized the FEATURES. you don't need to go on forever in an ad for people to understand that the system can be played at home- the difficult part is to fully explain how the home console can be used on the go. That's where they needed to inform also this system is 100% competing with the other home console platforms- gaming and entertainment in general seems to be going in a more casual direction than ever (mobile gaming). If Nintendo successfully gets a lot of casuals to adopt this it will dramatically cut into the other console manufacturer sales. Bear in mind Microsoft already seems to sort of be going into a direction of trying to merge their home console back with their PC gaming segments (Windows Live anyone?), and frankly Sony still (overall) is financially iffy Nintendo doesn't need to cut any deals and they ARE competing directly. All that matters is that this device is somewhat competitive spec wise AND can easily be played from a television set. It will take some of the same market the PS4 and Xone are aiming for. Bear in mind that the majority of gamers are not die hard serious people, the majority are going to be casuals who want to kill a little time or familys
the announcement of the Switch seems mega positive to me and to a lot of the community, if anything I think the system's potential success will make Nintendo far less to cut any deals bear in mind the most powerful thing in entertainment whether you're talking about movies, music, video games- are the namebrands and characters and recognizable things Nintendo doesn't need to cut deals because they already have the hardest thing to get- the IPs. Nintendo has the power of people loving their brands and that alone will keep people returning. I have to wonder what something like the Playstation truly has to permanently keep people from converting to PC. A lot of the third party games are going to PC and Sony does not have that many giantly popular game brands (God of War, Gran Turismo, what else??)
really bizarre thread. I think most would consider the 'Switch' announcement today insanely well received and I think you're absolutely flawed in thinking if you're truly trying to convince anyone that this is going to be drawing in home console fans. Of course it is. It plugs into the TV and can play awesomely new looking games on a traditional controller. End of story |
