The way I see the future is ninty being a third party dev for phones and cloud systems and Sony probably being bought out by a company like Samsung or Amazon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have a similar view, they'll both continue to make software because there's a lot of money in that and phase out of the hardware business becoming entirely 3rd party. I doubt either will be acquired because they still pose great value in their software. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
102020393023445948594 2,223 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 they'll never win japan so they'll never win the gaming industry. 1/3 of the major market is locked out to them. the only non-japanese company with crossover appeal is apple. shit, i think they still use Yahoo in Japan instead of google. this isn't a battle of who can shit out the cheapest box to stream games. gaming lives and dies on the strength of the ip you have behind your name. xbox was doing just fine when halo and gears were good, now they hold no weight and neither does xbox. Google starts at zero with even less ip than MS behind them. Good luck, they need a killer app like Halo CE at the very least to succeed in this business. not gonna happen nowadays.

You greatly underestimate how bad of a position Nintendo and Sony are in with all of this. Neither have the capital or infrastructure to fight this, they're kind of fucked and like Alphonse said they've been too focused on the past to prepare for the future. How can you possibly compete against something you're incapable of following? Edited March 10, 2019 by DynamiteCop! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

102020393023445948594 2,223 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Sony has built a worldwide renown HARDWARE brand that's 500 million units deep and has been established for 20+ years. Playstation is literally impenetrable at this point. they'll always be around. nintendo could flop again after switch, but the fanbase is so loyal and so rabid that it won't matter. literally the only company here who stands to lose marketshare is once again MS. MS is these guys competition right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Google is head and shoulders the most popular search engine in Japan and Chrome is the most popular web browser, though Safari isn't that far behind. Amazon is also hugely popular there and even surpassed the domestic online retailer in market share a couple years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
