What is it that caused Sony and Microsoft to determine that they'll make more money by releasing their games on PC, but Nintendo didn't?

Most of Nintendo's heavy hitting IPs are made by themselves, so unlike Sony and Microsoft they don't have to pay off devs to keep exclusivity.

Not having executives who are stuck in the 90s and are actually interested in making more money

the people who are going to play old Nintendo games on PC are playing them right now

/thread

Because Sony and Microsoft consoles will sell the same regardless. If Nintendo's first party IPs are multiplat the consoles die.

The Switch would sell horribly if it didn't have exclusives.

exclusives don't drive console sales, look at the most played PS4 games

Nintendo is the only gaming company that makes a sizable profit from hardware sales

nintendo is a fun brand
all about playing games with friends and having a good time

not about sweaty neckbeards in their moms basement crying about grass shaders or water density or whatever

not really, a lot of people buy multiplat games on the switch due to portability and keep port begging for them

You're saying this about a console made by a company whose modus operandi is exclusive hoarding. If it wasn't a critical part of their business model they wouldn't be doing it.

I can't wait for the next 5 years when Nintendo are the only ones who don't eventually release their 1st party exclusives to PC and watch Zig Forums come up with reasons as to why that is actually ok and a good thing. It's coming.

Why in the fuck would it be a bad thing? Literally what reason does Nintendo have to do that?

Except for that time when they allowed wonderful 101 to get a PC and PS4 port
Except for when Dameon x Machina got a PC port
Except for when Octopath traveler got a PC/Stadia port
Except for when [insert switch exclusive] got a port to another system

>Literally what reason does Nintendo have to do that?
Would you rather sell your game to 50M people or 950M people?

Nintendo makes games to sell consoles, not the other way around.

>what reason does Nintendo
wow user, i forgot how we are all Nintendo CEO's and give a fuck about that.

And yet Sony and Microsoft are on the verge of doing exactly that. I didn't ironically think a company and investors bootlicker would be here to defend the maximisation of their investment this quickly to be honest but here you are.

For free too

And that means they shouldn't make PC ports because?
>well then no one will buy Switch!
PC and console overlap is tiny compared to the extra money you make selling to PC players as well

I mean I want all the game companies to give me free games and consoles and for all the porn stars to come to my house and suck my dick, that doesn't mean what I want is in their best interest though.
Sony and Microsoft have never ever made bank of off console sales and they never will, at best they've had some gens where they made a marginal profit that was laughable to any profit made by Nintendo consoles. And none of this has anything to do with PC ports.
Because the return on investment is non-existant. The market for first party Nintendo games on PC is so incredibly niche it may as well not exist.

Which is why Nintendo emulators get by far the most work of them all, right?

If Nintendo ported their bing bing they'd be bankrupt within the hour.

Which is indicative of nothing.

Blah blah blah fucking blah user, i don't care about how much money Nintendo make off their hardware, point is their competition is doing it and it just makes me despise them and their apologists even more. Im not interested in hearing about how rich guys lining their pockets is the reason it's "a good thing" you have to buy their hardware.

I hope they put LittleBigPlanet 1 on PC

Honestly?
I'd fucking LOVE nintendo forever if they ported their new gen games to PC as well as switch.

Too bad nintendo is retarded and doesn't realize theres a HUGE market for PC ports

why do fags here actually say
>B-BUH S-SONY AND m-MICROSOFT a-ARE DOING IT!
>B-BUT NOT N-NINTENDO!!!!
despite the fact that already mentioned the few games nintendo exlusives that went to PC
also mentions that most Nintendo games are already on PC
And for some reason they mention Sony doing it as if they arent doing the same thing as Nintendo
>Horizon Zero Dawn
>Detroit
>Death Stranding
yet no
>Bloodborne
>GOW
>Spiderman
>LAST OF US
???

Sony is successful enough to do it. Microsoft doesn't care if their console dies, they earn so much money anyways. Nintendo depends on people paying their console tax to play the latest mario and zelda, that is the only reason they aren't already on playstation or xbox.

Their competition makes almost no games of their own to begin with so your comparison is retarded, and in Microsoft's case its even more retarded because Windows is literally their own platform. Sony released all of one notable game of their own this year and put it on PC. Wow, their competition is really showing Nintendo how its done.

>seething at me for buying games and system because I want to
lmao
