GS:GameSpot spoke with Nintendo director of product marketing Bill Trinen after the presentation about why the company continues to return to its existing franchises.
TNS: Based on its most recent ESG data, Nintendo boasts a remarkably low staff turnover rate of just 1.9%, with virtually no reported layoffs.
Well it doesn’t surprise me. As much money as they make and how they value their employees. It’s a great company in that regard.
Well, when your games remain full price many years after release.
And you make profit off of outdated hardware.
I would be shocked if they couldn't afford to retain their staff.
The Nintendo Switch 2 has set a new record by selling over 3 million units within 24 hours, tripling the PlayStation 4’s previous launch day sales.
Its crazy that it's both the highest selling console on day 1 and people can walk into a store and buy it with no pre order
Unlike the Switch 2 , the Playstation 4 was not sold on the same day in most regions.
Company skipped last year's event.
Not surprising at all.
I mean, they´ll be releasing a new console in a few weeks.
Nintendo would rather play it safe instead of taking the risk of creating new characters&franchises
because people buy and play them so there's a market, when they sell 30m retail units of Mario kart (no other publisher has ever sold that many units of a single game on one platform and many many strugle to reach 5m on multiple platforms) you think there not going to make another one. like it or not all of Nintendo's main franchises are the highest selling and amoungst the highest rated games. they also make new IPs but everyone dismisses them because there not Mario or zelda. regardless if you don't like Nintendo franchises but millions and millions of people do. how many final fantasy games, metal gear games, cod, splinter cell, assassins creed, resident evil and silent hill games are there just to name a few, and uncharted has only been around 5 years and has 4 games already along with a board game. every company does it not just nintendo
Keep Em coming Nintendo the best IP's in the business along with Valve =)
Nintendo is going to ride the nostalgia train until it derails. Been saying this for years they have a lot in common with Activision same thing every year but they sell millions.
And now all the Haters started crying and bitching coz all these games are going to sell millions and Fans,Fan-boys are happy coz games like Starfox,f-zero,Wave race and more will be coming back. LOL.
NINTENDOMINATION!!!
