Sony and Microsoft are bot going third party.
The only ting that could make this more of a win is Square Enix dying next.

You do realize there's more money to be made in going third party?
Nintendo's only limiting itself by keeping their games exclusive to their last generation hardware. Although i'd argue they've bled enough talent that their new games just don't interest me at all, even if they were ported to other systems, but you fags seem to still like them, so they would probably make a lot more money if they went third party too.

Damn, you should tell that to sega i bet they need it.

Sony has objectively won the console war, idk what you’re on about

my favorite conspiracy theory is that he had gunpei yokoi whacked because the virtual boy was so fucking shit

>>716454570
NOOOO AAAA NOOOO AAAAA WHY AAAAA DELET THIS

>>716454656

>>716454570
AHAHAHAHAH!
Fuck Sony.

I don't want Square Enix to die, i want em to unfuse into square soft and enix.

>>716454623
Charlie sheen?

>>716454784
i just want astrobot and bloodborne pc, thank you.

>>716454882
Oh no America is losing cause it has debt too!!!!!

>>716454662
My favorite one isn't that he was whacked for the Virtual Boy being shit but because he immediately went to Sega to make the Game Gear

>>716454181 (OP)
>Square Enix dying next.

God, I hope so.

>>716454628
You do realize going third party is how they were able to stay in business? It was objectively the right move.
And if a dying Sega was able to stay relevant through going third-party, think about how much more money Nintendo would make if they did the same.
Not that i particularly care either way. I mean i'm personally not interested in their games anymore, but it's food for thought.
Ironically enough i'm a lot more interested in Sega's games than Nintendo's these days.

>>716454181 (OP)
>he won
Yamauchi was a petty man and the main reason why Nintendo lost its reign on the game industry in the mid 90's. His shitfest over companies like Square ect were ridiculous.
>reee if you publishers dont want to obey Nintendo then you can never come back!!!!

>>716454181 (OP)
Nintendo will be forced to do it eventually as well. The economics of spending 8 years and having thousands of people work on one game like their recent releases makes exclusivity a bad idea in the long run.

>>716455007
What a shame

>>716454570
So that's why the resident schizos have been so angry lately.

>>716454570

MLB The Show was doing this for years btw.

>>716454181 (OP)

If it wasn't for Phil Spencer I wouldn't be able to play Sony games like FFXVI or Death Stranding on the Xbox Series X.

Thank you Philo!

>>716454181 (OP)
He was absolutely on point about the graphics arms race being retarded.

>>716454570
It's what they've been doing for awhile isn't it? Console exclusivity isn't profitable enough anymore. A heavy delay before releasing elsewhere seems to be working ok.

Yamauchi was a petty motherfucker, but he is the only reason Nintendo did not jump dick fist into every bad, dumb idea the industry drag their nuts through. The only mistake Yamauchi made was saving Square when they were down during the GBA era. He should have let them die.

>>716454570
they themself put in this hole with all the live services bullshit, losing billons of dollars would have it consequences and we are seeing them on real time

>>716455516
I liked Crystal Chronicles so no

>>716455516
i mean he learned the hard way with gamecube

>>716455516
Gave them a lease really but Square seems hell bent on dying anyways. I miss Enix.

>>716455716
Gaia wasn't a good game my dude. Quintet made far better games on the SNES, that was their worst

>>716455779
I don't give a shit about Gaia being the weakest of the 3, the baseline for that trilogy was greatness.

>>716455007
>completed tifa's design with sexy thighhighs and welcome silhouette separation with the black inner top
I fail to see the issue.

>>716455071
>You do realize going third party is how they were able to stay in business?
Keyword "managed", Nintendo has endured far worse storms than sega did and still make hardware.

>>716454434
>more moeny more money moneerrr moneee moneee monee eyyyy money money
yes wario we know

>>716454181 (OP)
TENDIES STAY ON TOP

>>716454181 (OP)
His brand went to the market tested lowest common denominator wolves. He might have "won", but jesus, at what fucking cost?
Nintendo is no better than Microsoft or Sony at this point, but is on top for how they milk their IPs that seem to hold up no matter how much Nintendo almost seems to want to jinx themselves at times
>>716455487
It is profitable, but not when every agenda you try to oush keeps failing, and your games serve no other purpose than to "flex" the systems power, with unoptimized garbage that feels the same as the generation before, because they make literally anything other than fun games anymore

>>716456003
surprisingly the wii u managed to outsell the dreamcast and saturn.

>>716456269
Nintendo is still having trouble coaxing 3rd parties to their platform. The Novelty of a Big 1st party game from a rival company would do decent sales. The Mario machine is still going to get passed over for the bigger 3rd party titles like GTA 6 which will release console first and most assuredly be 80 - 90% Playstation gamers. I just don't see how this is a losing move.

>>716454623
>Winning
>revenue
Why do these NEVER say PROFIT? Profit being the TRUE indicator of winning instead of the cope of "revenue"
>WE MADE $31m... Sure we then had to cover expenses that cost over $30m BUT STILL

>>716456003
Sega was bleeding money for years in the 90s. This never happened to Nintendo, not even during the Wii U era. Their exit from the console market really was inevitable.

>>716454181 (OP)
Of course. Didn't you know that Hiroshi Yamauchi wasn't actually a human being? He was a vessel that enclosed 7 yakuza oni spirits from 7 different regions in Japan. These oni monopolized the gambling in Japan with the hanafuda Nintendo cards and put a spell so that no other company could produce cards, truly evil.

Yamauchi, often referred to as "大魔王 ティラノ天堂" (Great Evil King Tyranotendo), tyranized the video games market with his monopolic practises, it is said that the Master System or the PC Engine didn't actually ever exist, and that they were invented time after so hide the fact that the Famicom was actually the one and only console existing in Japan.
Thankfully, 3 warriors from the western world, known as Electronic Arts, Activision and Ubisoft, aka "The Allies", sealed the oni back and now the oni are shut in their respective temples. But we must be careful, we never knew when the seals could be removed, and the demons of Tyranic Monopoly run rampant free again.

>>716457024
moving more money around is winning to them. they moved more money to their "friends" marketing and hardware firms and got bigger under the table gifts for it. probably a little bag of crack too.

>>716455007
SE saw those legs and said no. I am surprised they did not go further with the other three and cover them up more.

>>716454628
Sega would've died with the Dreamcast in 2002 if they hadn't gone third party.

>>716457324
If there's one thing he did right, was to kick Atari's shit in when he realized they were trying to scam him.

>>716456087
You can't deny it's the better financial decision. And their games would benefit from not being restricted to last-gen hardware.

>>716455308
Yep, that chase for power is just a money sink. Sony games selling and somehow not being a success is poof of that.

>>716455516
>Final Fantasy gets brought out or sold to another company
That would be...interesting. But who'd buy the IP?

>>716454434
You’re so retarded it’s embarrassing. You have the brain of a goldfish CEO who sells the revenue engine of a business for a profit today. But please talk to me about how Sony, Microsoft and the other big publishers aren’t bleeding talent and it’s actually Nintendo

>>716454976
The world currency isn’t snoybucks, dumbfuck

>>716454181 (OP)
>SquareEnix
I can't wait for someone else to make Deus Ex or Front Mission

>>716463921
The Deus Ex IP was sold off years ago and it's not doing any better now.

>>716459550
Lol no, retarded faggot.

Winning indeed.

>>716454181 (OP)
I've sold my switch and did boughted PS5 when saw switch 2 announced and so far so good

>>716454434
It's amazing one man can be so wrong. so fast, with such intensity, yet be so sure of himself and his own fart huffing
>Nintendo
>Bleeding talent
LMAO

>>716459550
The cut they would have to give to Sony/Microsoft alone would make this a terrible financial decision.

>>716454628
Sega are still around today because they went third party

>>716455007
I might not even mind if they actually redesigned the outfit into something more covering but still aesthetically pleasing instead of just making their outfits look ugly.

Curious how embracing defeat and going third party is okay and a 5D chess move when it's Sony doing it. Microsoft and Sega were treated in a very different way for the exact same thing

>>716454784
What's the point owning a console over PC then?
Splitscreen isn't really a thing anymore, and it seems like exclusives are going the way of the dodo
Why bother with something that can do less?
