Isn't Sega a Japanese company that dropped their consoles and went software-only? They're still in business and doing well. If you've been to Japan and have seen or played Border Break (an arcade-only game), you know they've still got it. They also still make Sonic games.
There's no reason that Nintendo couldn't follow suit. Pride is probably the biggest obstacle preventing that from happening, but if/when things get bad enough, they'll make the switch.
- revjx 15y agoNone of the recent Sonic games have been anywhere near the standard that they used to be. Sega, to me, are a sad example of a company that used to make great games consoles & games and are now resigned to manufacturing mediocre games. I would be gutted if Nintendo went the same way.
- umjames 15y agoI'm not saying the Sonic games are great, but that it's proof that Nintendo could still keep their brand characters (Mario and friends, Link, Samus, etc) without a console. Proof that Sega still knows how to make great games: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qd1tuZs55Ko&NR=1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qd1tuZs55Ko&NR=1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7sb_qlP8Gs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7sb_qlP8Gs
