Nintendo & A Debt Agency May Not Meet

By Rob Sutter


When it comes to video game companies these days, finances have been focused on though for arguably the wrong reasons. Keep in mind that THQ, to name one example, has gone into bankruptcy not too long ago. Electronic Arts is a case of a company that's been staying afloat but just barely, from my perspective. With Nintendo being the granddaddy of gaming, would a debt agency target it for any reason? I do not think that this will ever be the case but for what reasons?

I don't think that I can envision Nintendo and a debt agency working together since the former has always been rather financially steady. This isn't to say anything against the work of reputable names the likes of R.R.S. but rather how much money Nintendo has to its name. I don't think that I have to remind gamers of just how much the Wii has sold in comparison to the other systems the company has brought to the masses. Add in the fact that the company has a substantial bank account and security is well in place.

When it comes to the IP which Nintendo has built for itself, you'd be hard-pressed to find a game company with one much greater. Even if someone doesn't play games, chances are that they are familiar with such names as Mario and Zelda. This isn't terribly hard to see why, especially since they have been around for many years and there's a level of trust to be seen in them. Nintendo could stop creating consoles and simply invest time in game development, keeping itself afloat all the while.

This is simply a subject that, to me, is outside of the realm of possibility. Nintendo may not have made the best decisions in the eyes of gamers recently but I cannot deny the fact that they have been able to do business safely, which has paid off nicely. Sony, for example, has not exactly had the same level of security and this resulted in offices being closed down at one point. Such bad press from a business perspective has never fallen upon Nintendo's lap in recent memory.

While Nintendo's practices may not always make sense, they have seemingly put the company towards a financially stable path. With a company that has been making consoles for 30 years and counting now, perhaps it shouldn't come as any big surprise. However, you have to keep in mind that there will always be fans that will not be as positive when it comes to Nintendo's image. If you are going to ask me whether or not they'll stick around, it's a safe bet that they will.
