Then explain the xbox one 5:1 sales ratio.
Im not sure about this.The reason Nintendo is going so hard is because they consider smartphone gaming a threat and rightfully so. This is why we have a lot of android and iOS games in the eshop. They're really going against Apple and Google, not Microsoft and Sony. I think Microsoft and Sony has figured that out which is why they keep giving Nintendo their props cause mobile gaming has taken over the gaming industry.
They messed up with the pricing structure for Super Mario Run and even admitted as much. They are having more luck with Fire Emblem cause they have a better pricing structure for it. Pokemon Go made them a lot of money but they only partially own the franchise. Nintendo's shareholders pressured President Iwata before he died, to make more mobile games because research was showing that mobile gaming would surpass console gaming (and it actually did last year). Nintendo has barely scratched the surface in releasing games for iOS and Android but once they get better at it it's a wrap. Until then they're depending on Nintendo Switch.Im not sure about this.
Doesnt Nintendo have smartphone games?
Have they?lolwut? 3rd Party games are what carry the XB1.
..anyways, Nintendo has ALWAYS held down their own consoles. It's the core of their business model, along with selling consoles at a profit. Been this way since the N64.
Have they?
Did you see the Wii U's first party lineup in year 1?
EA dropping Mass Effect 3 at full retail price while PS360 got the entire trilogy at the same time was ruthlessPeople REALLY need a reminder of how utter shyt Wii U's first year was:
Nov/Dec: About 30 half assed late ports, Zombi U and New Super Mario Bros U. Decent launch line up right? Now lets take a look at the rest of the year:
January: Nothing
February: Nothing
March: Lego City Undercover, Monster Hunter Tri and Need For Speed
April, May June, July: NOTHING!
August: Pikmin 3, which was suppose to come out in March
September: Rayman Legends which was suppose to be a exclusive launch game, Wind Waker HD and The Wonderful 101, which came out the same week as GTmotherfukkingA 5.
October: Deus Ex, Human Revolution: Directors Cut, Sonic Lost World, Just Dance 2014, Lego Marvel Super Heroes and Wii Party U
November: Super Mario 3D World. Yeah, the Wii U had to wait 11 MONTHS for it's next big game!
December: DR Luigi
Anyone that says the Switch has the worst 1st year compared to the Wii U needs their nuts kicked off.
breh, it was a bunch of games, sonic, assasins creed, mass effect. all the big games that were on other consoles were on wii and wii uYeah because assassins creed and sonic is enough
And the switch has more 3rd party support than the Wii did at this point/time. And the support they did have was trash trying to cash in on motion controls. But hey, assassin's creed and sonic balanced it all out
