Problem: Nintendo is in nitch (sp) market (younger customers) predominantly, and old school originals in management think/see thus. They want to continue their own game platform, that has declining followers.
If the N bot GLUU . . . that would maybe turn out bad for both companies as management
methods would clash. The N may have Bil $ cash now . . . but is on course to failure?
You can take a cellphone now . . . add some more interface ports (like USB), upgrade the SW options, use SS hard Drives, Cloud virtual memory, and jack or wireless blue tooth to your big screen TV. Think Fire TV and MOJO.
This means, roughly, the kids rapidly outgrow the Wi and in today's cost-conscious generic device world . . . family start to form their buy s around same use platforms.
The N platform appears the opposite of that trend? <---The N does not do for access to more mature games. I would surmise its the platform . . . not their games that is the problem?
GLUU is starting to eat N's lunch, so to speak.
GLUU has wisely (I vision) developed a set of relationships with Indie development houses that can bring in that type of game (in GLUU marketing picture), without necessarily involving the 'faster-and-Fur Burners' in-house developers; into something foreign to their adult-ized VG style creation skills? GLUU doesn't seem to have any (current) need to be with N. <----did I get that right?
I guess I am saying N can't grow into GLUU and GLUU is smart enough to absorb N share of market, gradually. I think one should not adopt a set style in mobile VG development . . . and be fluid and open to taking opportune creative and marketing twists . . . to gain new customers. That's our GLUU plus!
Like the artl. and A-boarders remarked . . . the N does not get its mind-set around
'other ways' that are gently suggested to it.
Then fine, walk off into the dark singing . . . Wi is the way!
Taken to another level, this stuff is what is happening out in our world about us . . . never get too comfort: as individuals and organizations? Adapt, improvise and continue. Innovation is the well of success.
