They're the only one of the 3 (Sony, MS, Nintendo) that make money on their consoles but... I don't see how it can possibly be enough profit to justify the probably extra 10-20 million copies of each 1st party game they'd sell if they put them on PS4/Xbone/PC?
Who else did FPS raiding to even compare it to? Destiny did one thing amazing and thats the gunplay. Fortunately that translates well into its PVP and PVE so it matters alot. VoG was fun the first few times, but the content was just not there - the story made no sense and it matters b/c once your brain got beyond the gunplay you realized this shit is stupid and dinklebot was a total waste. He can bring you back to life but then hes just a glorified locksmith!
Yep, every mission starting in the same fuckin spot, with the chance to now turn right instead of left! - More so even in the DLC they kept doing the same shit, even in TKK they were still reusing some of it.
I don't think they're willing to use a super expensive gimmick again. A gimmick? Sure. But not one that will be as costly as the Wii U pad was.
They are no doubt the laziest Devs on the planet.
The best description of Destiny I've heard was a Turd covered Diamond.
Save for the fact Diablo 3 has a (Actual) story, adventure mode, actual fun loot, a crafting system worth a shit, a gem system, double the classes with multiple and heavily various ways to spec your character which have dramatic differences in play style and effects/combat, and about 12+ difficulties. It doesn't have copy pasted content everywhere, it randomizes the areas and dungeons, has awesome fucking cut scenes, and good voice acting and the ability to pick up journals and listen to the back character stories while you play instead of heading off to some fucking website to read a card. About the only thing these two games have in common is you chase loot. And the loot system fucking sucks in Destiny as well. These two aren't even close in terms of meaty fulfilling content. There is a reason why the Diablo Dev team visited their offices and gave them advice (Which was ignored) which continued to cause Destiny to be garbage.
The Nintendo 64 was more powerful than the Playstation and the Gamecube was more powerful than its contemporaries. Both systems also had fantastic libraries. Playstation just established itself as the premier RPG system in the 90s, captured a large part of the Asian market and never really looked back. That doesn't mean it's objectively better or that its competitors are failures. It's not really as simple as "processing power sells." Just look at the Dreamcast. If anything, Nintendo needs to broaden their demographic with more mature IP.
All these aspects they could easily put into the current Destiny. D3 sucked when it came out, it took them years to get that one correct.
The rights to a Metroid movie were sold years ago to John Woo's production company. Now maybe it was an option or a limited time deal thing or whatever, but it's possible that Nintendo, with or without Disney, can't do a Metroid movie without Woo's production company.
I look at Nintendo completely differently. Nintendo is doing just fine as a company. I haven't owned a Nintendo console since N64 but that's ok too. They're profitable and they serve the younger niche market very well. There's no reason they can't release a Nintendo 'Wii U Too' or whatever silly name they'll come up with next and make a lot of money with it. Plus, most of their best games are playable via Dolphin so as long as that status quo continues I really don't give a damn what they do.
