Nintendo is missing out on over 100 million sales by not releasing its games on other consoles.

Microsoft is missing out on over 100 million sales by not releasing their games on PS4, Vita, 3DS, Wii U & Switch.

Sony is missing out on over 100 million sales by not releasing their games on XBO, PC, 3DS, Wii U & Switch.

Why does this argument keep coming up for Nintendo but ignored for Sony/Microsoft when historically Nintendo has been far more profitable as a hardware provider?

This question is common because

Nintendo is the 3rd among them

Nintendo has the smallest userbase

Nintendo consoles are weak and deprecated in graphics

Nintendo online features are poor

Wii U bombed

Nintendo isn't making enough profit since Wii U release

 

And now let's pay attention to Switch and wait :)



God bless You.

My Total Sales prediction for PS4 by the end of 2021: 110m+

When PS4 will hit 100m consoles sold: Before Christmas 2019

I think Microsoft should consider Switch support actually.

I'd be down for some Killer Instinct and Halo on Switch on top of Minecraft.

Since Microsoft has terrible Japan penetration, it wouldn't be a bad idea.

I understand that many Nintendo games could be shadowed by other AAA titles, but titles like MK, Zelda and Splatoon would sell even more on a PS4.

Yeah, but their production cost will go up like crazy.

They won't be able to make games on the cheap like they are doing right now. So yeah, maybe the biggest franchise like MK, Zelda, Splatoon, Mario will still be made, but you can kiss goodbye to a lof others, and games like animal crossing or Fire Emblems would become mobile only.

Why? Do you think the development would rise or do you think the profit from little projects wouldn't be worth it?

Funny my thread got back at making some people mad, lol.

People asking for it to be locked because can't stand an opinion, people going for personal attacks, fanboysm, and severe lack of actually trying to understand anything coming here to try to crack a joke on themselves...

The Switch launch has actually boosted my opinion on it, weak hardware already having problems with a first party launch title that was developed for their last system, overpriced hardware and companion pieces, Nintendo not even making a custom chip for it and releasing a Shield system with their brand written on it...

Yeah, going 3rd party would be great.

It's a nice thread if people are civilised.



God bless You.

Why? I'd like to hear you elaborate. They sell tons of consoles.

Probably the same reason you said you want Nintendo to go 3rd party a few posts back, so he can play all the games on one device.

Oh yeah. Maybe.



God bless You.

Like I said regarding the response to the Jim Sterling review of Breath of the Wild, irrational arguments are going to draw a stronger reaction than rational ones.

All you do here is reiterate your original "Nintendo should go third party because that's what I'd like them do" without bringing anything of substance to the table. Actually, now you are doing more. You are arguing the same thing in the face of success which means that not only will there be no financial reason for Nintendo to entertain the idea of going third party, but the market showing a positive reception of Nintendo's latest console also means that people definitely like what Nintendo is doing, so there's no such thing as even remote agreement that Nintendo should go third party.

I agree that this thread shouldn't get locked. It should get bumped every few months to laugh at you.

A new system is selling at launch... the Wii U also did, like the Dreamcast... yeah, you are really bringing something of substance to the table, Rol, even more as it was not even a point made here...

Don't put words in my mouth, don't "xxx" me in something I didn't say because that's what you took from it, again, bring something of substance to the table, as just just said, either you stick to the OP content, or just keep quiet.

No worries, though, the thread will be here, be sure to keep bumping it, I hope your crystal ball was right as you already saw the future and people coming to laugh at it, otherwise your post will be the one being bumped :D

Rol will be mocked a lot from big N going third party beggers, in case of switch  end up to be a commercial flop but rol will laugh more at them when probably that commercial flop makes 3-4B$  on hardware, especially when remembering that something with 87m sales lost 5-6b$ on hardware.

Although, i feel you're from those who just want nintendo games on stronger platform and not to have to spend money purchasing their own hardware, not those who have the ( wrong ) notion that NIntendo will be healthier company as a third party, since they would supposedly reach a greater audience,  ignoring how much money they will be deprieved of from abandoning  hardware ( consoles and its accessories ) and selling their own software on their own hardware.    Plus that how many software they  must have to sell, if not to surpass the profits  that they would be making as hardware maker, to at least match them. ( What about Japan? Even though you must not mean to abandon handheld hardware, that obviously would be inane)

Nintendo all it had to do, was to expand! Mobile games, theme parks and movies in the near future, I would like them to create games for pc too in they way they did for mobile, smartphones/tablet for handheld consoles are what pc/laptops are for home consoles.

Of course, Nintendo will finally follow the practices of MS/SONY with online services and subscriptions, since MS/SONY make tons of money from these this gen.

P.s Reasons for not going third party aren't just financial, it's also related with quantity and quality of games! Nintendo wouldn't be so conscientious at software developement and eager to make so many games in other platforms of the once direct competition, Ι believe.

Meh, I think every company is becoming "third party" on PC at least.

Xbox has Xbox Anywhere to play games on PC

Playstation has PSNow to play games on PC, specially since they announced ps4 games.

And Nintendo has emulation to play games on PC. :P

This, exactly. 

To OP: You're telling them to go third party just because Nintendo games aren't available on your platform. Either that, or your just begging to start a war.

The thread is fine. No war is going on. There are lots of brilliant replies in favour and against the idea.



God bless You.

So, this has always been the cause of some serious attacks to people who said this here over the years, but now after the Switch reveal, I really feel some of you are now more open to the idea, realizing what does that really always meant and where it came from.

Nintendo going third party means you don't need to be tied to a Nintendo hardware and save some serious buck, even more now that it also adopted online pay, so you'll have ones less to pay (if a PS/XB owner) or none (if PC), you'll actually be buying more capable and valuable for your money hardware, you'll have access to Nintendo games AND most other games, Nintendo itself will have better hardware to work with, Nintendo games will have a way greater reach, Nintendo stubborness will have to go away as they won't have covers for it so they will have to learn better how to behave in line with their fans expectations, some of you'll realise there is A LOT of games out there that you actually enjoy but never paid attention to.

It's a win-win situation, Nintendo doesn't actually have any direct competition or a built envyronment around services, so they lose nothing and can gain a lot doing it, and gamers just as well.

So, what do you think now?

Ugh. This boils down to "I don't want to buy Nintendo hardware, so them going third party would be more convenient for me. Don't you all agree?"

Your middle 'paragraph' says it all: it's really one big run-on sentence. In addition to being unintelligible, there's not a single actual reason why a console manufacturer *should* go third party (i.e. financials as in Sega's case). You conveniently leave the 30% tax Sony/MS take off the top, as well as lost profit thanks to zero accessory/console sales.

Want me to actually go through each of your poorly articulated points? I will be glad to; just ask.
