VGAddict Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Proof that Nintendo would be better as software only? The game has made them billions of dollars in a matter of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostSanity Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Can't really say much as I haven't played/tried it myself as I can't because I'm not rich enough for an advanced cell phone. Some of the news stories though... Are funny, disconcerting and interesting all at the same time. Also... is it Generation 1 pokemon only? I haven't seen any other gens of pokemon in any of the pictures I've seen yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosewind Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 It's a great indicator that Nintendo could really make a killing in the mobile space with no hardware overhead for them. Kinda wish the game would get its kinks/server lag sorted out. I heard other generations of pokes will appear in the game later, probably to keep it fresh.

That's kinda why I haven't touched the game yet. I sall all the counts of it being buggy and decided that I'd do with it like I do with any Bethesda game that's released. Wait until after the first few patches, and then buy the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZephyrBurst Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Everything about this is wrong. Nintendo did not develop Pokemon Go. Niantic developed it with it being published by 'The Pokemon Company' (No really, that's what they're named) The app has not made them billions, though it has made them a few million in just that week with plenty more sure to come. Their market share has gone up by billions, which is a completely different thing. As for the question, Nintendo likes doing their own hardware, and I can't see them bowing out of that unless their next home console did incredibly poorly. They'll definitely stay in the handheld market. Unless they royally screw that up or a competitor can somehow top the 3DS, they aren't leaving that space any time soon. 8 hours ago, Rosewind said: It's a great indicator that Nintendo could really make a killing in the mobile space with no hardware overhead for them.

There was also an update yesterday that fixed up a few of the problems. With a bit more time, it'll be a much more solid app. There's a lot of metrics involved so I'm sure Niantic is using that to better work their magic.

LostSanity Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 I wouldn't mind trying it after hearing too much about it but I'm too poor to get an 'advanced' cell phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
