The wait for a Xenoblade 4 with sw2 graphics is unbearable.

I trust them as well. The wait will be worth it. Also the fantasy IP should be revealed soon.

They don't respect their fans at all. Nintendo treat their fans like shit.
But they do have the sense to know that your platform begins to crumble when it doesn't offer something unique and differentiated.

Never owned a cancer system from a cancer company. Greedy, anti-consumer, rehashed IP in different flavors that the fanbase can't stop fapping to because "nostalgia" while simultaneously always asking others to innovate with IP, being abused by predatory tactics to buy the same shit with a higher resolution for $40 every gen and lastly, it takes a certain level of depraved consensus to defend such a horrible company as if they actually care about you over profits.
Now if you excuse me, I have better things to do, like play amazing games.

Exclusives helped, but given how good exclusives still didn't save the WiiU...I think the hybrid form factor Nintendo came up with for the Switch was a bigger reason for its success. Combo-ing their console and handheld divisions into one system just gives them a better release cadence as well.
I'm still not compelled to want to jump into the Switch 2, and they gotta put more effort into Pokemon. One bright spot is we got another 3D Donkey Kong game at least.

Do they make more profit than Sony with that strategy?

not tag worthy
You know who else did that. Sega. 'Member them ?
But all joking aside Sony have had success in console sales.

I would assume Nintendo makes a ton more profit on their first party games than Sony. Nintendo have way smaller budgets, pretty much every title is sold for full-price for the entire generation, and tend to sell in the tens of millions.
I'm pretty sure Nintendo also churns out more first party titles than Sony in general in a year.

That's obvious, but they don't sell third party games as much as Sony.
I think that's the reason why they can afford to keep games exclusive.

Oh, for sure. With "strategy" I just assumed you meant each company's first-party strategy specifically, not in general.
I assume Nintendo makes more profit on their first party titles than Sony does despite Sony's also releasing on PC.
In general Sony makes more from what I've seen, at least in recent years:
| Company | 2023–2024 FY Profits | 2024–2025 FY Profits |
|---|---|---|
| EA | $1.2 Billion | $1.1 Billion |
| Nintendo | $3.5 Billion | $2.2 Billion |
| PlayStation | $1.9 Billion | $2.8 Billion |

Nintendo made 5.7, Sony 4.7
When the industry collapses again and crashes. Nintendo will be the one standing to pick it all back up again. Hopefully their purusit of theme parks and movies doesn't cloud their gaming judgement. When times are tough, Nintendo will find a new paradigm for their own survival and the industry.

Yeah, I was mainly focusing on the most recent datapoint.Nintendo made 5.7, Sony 4.7

Spend 300M doing mocap animation on a sandwich or adding peach fuzz to a female character: GOOD
Spend 13M rebuilding the entire Pokémon combat system for real-time action and movement: BAD
On the bright side, the age of pixel counters and production value enthusiasts is coming to an end now, as advancing graphics is becoming exponentially more expensive to develop and run.

Thanks. Even considering PC ports it's way off. Not including PSVR2 where there are obviously many exclusives, ChatGPT found an extra 95 titles, but there must be more:

Nicely done. But the more challenging question is: can you find a single living human being on this planet who cares about even one of these?
apple_of_enlightenment

Is your question as applicable to the alleged 300+ Switch exclusives?
daninthemix
Member
Yeah, probably. I guess there's always been a difference between exclusives and exclusives that actually move the needle in terms of people wanting a system.
apple_of_enlightenment

Yep, so a more meaningful comparison would be between physical/disc titles that are exclusive to each platform.

Can't fucking wait. I do wonder whether they will make a Xenoblade Chronicles X2, though. The ending in X Definitive Edition left that possibility open (imho).

I wouldn't have gotten a Genesis without Sonic. Without that it would have been another random vg box that wasn't Nintendo.
"Well that's cool but Sega should have put Sonic on Super Nintendo so more kids could play it"
Yes, why don't we think of the children. Well, having already owned a Genesis for Sonic, I got that version of Aladdin instead of on SNES. And then several other titles. So Sega got more passive software royalties because they made Sonic, and were more concerned with surviving as a business and clawing back against Nintendo than giving their leverage away for nothing.
That's really it. Nothing has changed in 30+ years. Believing Nintendo should go third party today is like believing that Sega would have made just as much on Aladdin royalties if Sonic was on SNES. Or, they know and are advocating for those in a position of strength to tone it down and become equitable with the losers. Maybe, if Nintendo made enough value-eroding mistakes like that, Microsoft could finally buy 'em.

It's the only reason I'll eventually get a Switch². If the new Fire Emblem sticks the landing I'll pick it up for that release. If not I'll probably wait for the next entry to the Xenoblade series. 
If I'm lucky the whole series will have gotten a S² patch by then. 
If they were to publish on PC there's no way I'd get their device.

I don't need Nintendo's love or anything…..just like any compony in the world they are here make to money.
All want is games and as long as Nintendo continues to make the games I love then I'm happy to pay…its that simple.
I demand and they supply….my issue with Sony this gen is Sony stopped supplying what I demand and to me there is nothing worse.

The issue is about the price ($70 + $30 DLC). If it was a $20 game nobody would be complaining.

Taking this logic further, we could argue that Nintendo as a whole has even more exclusives, because a lot of the console exclusives of the past have since been ported to newer systems and PC via collections, remakes and remasters… except for Nintendo exclusives, which are still exclusives to their systems.

- Of course they would complain, let's not pretend they care about the franchise. They would still complain about balconies and other irrelevant stuff;
- Do you think games should be priced per number of pixels or something? There is more to do in Z-A than in a lot of full price games and that's not even taking into account MP.
