Oh yeah, that really cool Link Between Worlds 3DS that Europe is getting? Kiwis get it, too. http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/35726
>>181752 >I guess that's the one thing positive about a distinct LACK of Company-Specific Mascots like Sony and Microsoft have. While Sony and Microsoft don't have any immensely-popular-and-visible group of mascots like Nintendo, they still have their core franchises, even if some are second/third party. Sony has Killzone and Infamous, plus they're the go-to on series like Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy. Microsoft has Gears of War, Halo, and kind of Dead Rising.
To pigeon-hole the three, their franchise strengths are: Sony: RPG, Action/RPG Microsoft: FPS, Action, Shports? (EA puts their sport series out on everything from the 360 to the Neo Geo Color, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were highest selling on the 360) Nintendo: Action/Adventure, Platforming
Microsoft saying "Nah, we're bored of Halo and Gears of War" or Sony saying "We're encouraging Squeenix to move their main Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts games to Nintendo consoles" would be positively devastating. You wouldn't hear about it near as much as Nintendo giving up Mario (a report from some time back said Mario was more identifiably than Mickey Mouse around the world), but it would cause just as much of a dive in their sales.
>Nintendo's tried its hardest to get 3rd parties on board with them but the BIGGEST HURDLE is the one they themselves made.
