Interesting to see this as Oculus is dumping their content generators (defunding Oculus Story Studio)
- DannyBee 9y agoI dunno. Historically, the console makers all went it themselves. Tried to get others to do AAA titles, etc. I expect they found they never could get the results they wanted because they all later went and acquired content generators.
- patmcguire 9y agoConsolidation vs dispersion on platforms is one of those cyclical things, like thin vs fat clients.
- ShannonAlther 9y agoI don't think Nintendo ever stopped creating content for their consoles.
- MBCook 9y agoNintendo is (and Sega was) a software company that makes hardware. I mean, Nintendo is a toy/games company at heart. Their hardware only exists to support it and pay for it. Sony and Microsoft are hardware companies that invest in software to help sell their hardware. Sony was trying to help Nintendo with software and after getting stabbed in the back decided to go out on their own. Microsoft saw how big the segment was and wanted to get in on it.
- Illniyar 9y agoI would definitely not characterize Microsoft as a Hardware company that makes software. It's a software company that sometimes makes hardware, which is also evident with xbox in their attempts to consolidate their os.
