Hardcore Gamer: With the much talked about recent struggles of Nintendo, they recently outlined some new strategies for their future. Among these new strategies, CEO Satoru Iwata stated that the company will be exploring partnerships with third party studios and licensing some of their franchises to be developed outside of Nintendo. We’ve already examined how this direction could be beneficial to Nintendo and their third party support for the Wii U, but what developers should Nintendo partner with? The following is a wish list of sorts, with four Nintendo franchises and the third party developers I feel would be best suited to making a game in those franchises.
The latest revenue report from CD Projekt Group shows Xbox only made up 10% of sales for The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 in 2025.
3x less sales than Playstation.
3x less consoles sold than Playstation.
Per captita, it averages out that the same number of users are buying CDP games regardless of platform, no?
The exact same or possibly more because a series S, initial investment and effort to Port to Xbox consoles for a third of the return.
Simply not worth it
A third is a pretty big number to be honest. Like would you rather make 15 million or 20 million? That's the difference that a third makes.
Hey it’s ok. They are really impressed with XBOx’s new CEO so exclusivity is on the way. 😂
Ok but I mean be logical ... modern PC, Switch, PS4 PS5 then you have XBOX, of all of those XBOX is probably only 10 percent... I mean, what do you expect? 10 percent increase in sales is still nothing to sneeze at, remember - this is CD projekt red and they sell a lot of software. 10 percent of their sales is probably what most studios DREAM of selling .... just playing devils advocate..... its easy to say LOL haha XBOX.... but.. I mean we know what it is at this point. I havent bought on since my xbox one X and before that I only used other peoples xboxes since the OG XBOX and stick with PC and Playstation and switch OLED, but .. I mean.... theres nothing WRONG with an xbox considering its just not the best - but they work fine. make no mistake.
Replies(2)CD Projekt announced its financial results for 2025, while the company looks to its future by investing in The Witcher 4, Cyberpunk 2, and "Hadar."
During the Q&A following CD Projekt's financial results, the developer's executives shared some info on unannounced projects, the impression on the new Xbox boss Asha Sharma, and the upcoming PS5 Pro upgrade for Cyberpunk 2077.
I’m trying to understand the relevance in their impression of XBOX’s new boss. Maybe I’m just missing something.
Yeah, what some of the best game developers on the market think of her and what she intends to do after meeting her is totally irrelevant. 😂
Microsoft Game Studios!
Metroid vs Halo
Atlus is a pretty smart fit for Pokemon, quite honestly. In a way, the Persona in Persona 3 were collectible creatures, kind of like Pokemon.
Persona X Pokemon, that would be the day. A Donkey Kong X Rayman would be awesome also.
Atlus sure, but the others..
No
