Forums - Gaming Discussion - Nintendo business model is bad for gamers

DonFerrari on 19 June 2017

I'm not much into Nintendo IPs, but I see no issue with they as a company. They release what their customers want.



duduspace11 "Well, since we are estimating costs, Pokemon Red/Blue did cost Nintendo about $50m to make back in 1996"

Mr Puggsly: "Hehe, I said good profit. You said big profit. Frankly, not losing money is what I meant by good. Don't get hung up on semantics"

Azzanation: "PS5 wouldn't sold out at launch without scalpers."

This looks, sounds and smells like a bait thread.

But I don't think it is. :O

lol are you salty man?

Just because you didn't like it doesn't mean it's bad for everyone else.



A handheld gamer only (for now).

why is this thread getting serious responses?

I was amazed until I really thought about some of the people giving the serious replies.

Agreed, Nintendo needs to bring balance to the force now that MS has killed its 1st party and with it any chance the Xbox brand has.

Arrogant Sony is coming back, save us Nintendo, make more games! Kirby and Yoshi aint enough!

They literally put a graphic for the new Metroid and people lost their shit.

That should tell you everything you need to know. When a game can incite that kind of response with just a name splashed on a trailer, you know said game is legendary. You talk about Red Dead being a "true" AAA game yet Prime 4 got a much bigger response. 

I think you're just out of touch with gamers, that's all.

It's like you live in an alternative reality. I can understand what is written, but it doesn't make any sense at all. It's hurting my brain. I'm scared

Correct me if im wrong but i pretty sure Nintendo make a new IP every generation, is this guy for real, we just got a Zelda game unlike any created so far, Oddessey looks crazy, your crazy if you think Nintendo doesn't take risks, they damn sure do every generation.

They have shown your console doesn't even have to have all the big AAA 3rd party stuff and you can still sell it like hotcakes. They have shown it's OK to have like 3 games in the launch of new console and your console would still be doing exceptionally.  They can literally release any quirky Mario, Kirby, Just Dance game and they sell like hotcakes. This does nothing to promote competition within the industry. Now companies like Microsoft and Sony know they slack off and still make profits. Sony has have began to do it - look at this E3 they went with the safe stuff. No shocking announcments because they know Microsoft and Nintendo are not in direct competitoin with them. 

Counter point: Wii U.

True AAA?

.....

Anyway a bit of color hardly hurts. I mean if Zelda, Mario, ARMS, and Splatoon 2 aren't AAA, I guess Overwatch isn't either.



The Democratic Nintendo fan....is that a paradox? I'm fond of one of the more conservative companies in the industry, but I vote Liberally and view myself that way 90% of the time?
