Re: Nintendo Plans Corporate Changes That Point to Diverse Business Moves

@PlywoodStick in its current state no. But if Nintendo improved on the technology it could help surgeons practice some skills would actually performing on a body.

There a clear difference between using motion controls to improve skills and coordination, and playing a normal gaming controller to improve skills. You comparison to guitar hero and FPS clearly unwarranted because those are entirely different then the wii. Of course playing COD won't help you shoot a real gun...

@cleveland124 what you mean Nintendo can't diversify. This is a perfect time to diversify. If the NX is another less then satisfied product then Nintendo can at least fall back on something. Nintendo obviously won't be handling movies and theme parks alone and will partner with people like universal and stuff to get the things to the standard you expect from a branded park.

Yes there big money in medical technology which is why this could be a very good gamble. As seen before Nintendo already has the technology used in video games that could if fully utilized to be used in the medical field for therapy or training purposes(links of proof below). It's a logical next step. Video game market looks to be going through a huge change soon as consoles/games get more expensive and people are getting less money and time.

@cleveland124 First I know all markets are crowded to a degree but medical technology market doesn't play by the same rules as the video game market. If Nintendo can utilize and advance/enhance the technology it already has from the Wii era it can be successful in the medical field. Beside Nintendo has already dabbled in the medical field it's not like it's something entirely new to them.

Second Nintendo isn't doing 20 things. It's doing what it's reasonable(beside the cafe which is out of left field)
-theme parks and movies are not unrealistic for a company built on name recognition.

I find this fascinating, especially the Medical thing because QOL was never fully shown its full potential. I know Wii balance boards and Wii remotes have been used in medical facilities already so i'm guessing Nintendo might want to try to make some money of that. It would be sad to see Wii technology that could be used to help people go to waste...

Sometimes its good for a company to diversify as long as it doesn't deviate too far from it's original purpose(In this case video games)

Everyone always being angry of stuff they don't know about.

For all we know Nintendo might make a whole new teams for games like these and QOL stuff that will not effect other games at all. Nintendo might be expanding into the space of Heath & Education to gain more money as well as advertising their ips. We don't know nothing so we shouldn't be commenting on it.
