U-Michal Ždanský Kuze kube manje, inkampani yokudlala yaseJapan iNintendo igweme izinkundla zeselula ze-iOS ne-Android ukuze ivune ihadiwe yayo, izihloko zazo ebezikhethekile. Kodwa-ke, ngemuva kwekota yesithathu engaphumelelanga, umdondoshiya wemidlalo ucubungula ezinye izinketho zokugcina inkampani imnyama, futhi lezi zinhlelo zihlanganisa ukuletha abalingiswa beNintendo abaziwayo ezikrinini zama-iPhones nama-iPads.
I-Nintendo ayizange yenze kahle kakhulu ngonyaka odlule, njengoba i-Wii U entsha isalele ngemuva kowandulelayo ophumelele kanye nabadlali begeyimu bencamela ama-consoles akwa-Sony ne-Microsoft. Phakathi kwezinto eziphathwayo, i-3DS ikhipha ama-smartphones kanye namathebulethi, abadlali abavamile abawakhethayo kunamadivayisi adlalayo azinikele. Ngenxa yalokho, uNintendo wehlise isibikezelo sokuthengisa se-Wii U sisuka ezigidini eziyi-9 saya ngaphansi kwezintathu nje, kanye ne-3DS sisuka ezigidini eziyi-18 saya ku-13,5 million.
Umongameli weNintendo, uSatoru Iwata, umemezele esithangamini sabezindaba ngesonto eledlule ukuthi inkampani icubungula isakhiwo sebhizinisi esisha esihlanganisa "imishini ehlakaniphile." Ngemuva kwakho konke, abatshalizimali bafuna inkampani ithuthukise izihloko ze-iOS maphakathi no-2011 ngemuva kokuthi intshisekelo ku-3DS iphansi kunalokho obekulindelwe uNintendo. Ngaso leso sikhathi, u-Iwata kubikwa ukuthi uchaze u-Apple "njengesitha sekusasa" futhi ngisho nengxenye yonyaka edlule wathi ubengacabangi nokuhlinzeka ngezinsiza ezibalulekile zeNintendo kwamanye amapulatifomu. Ubukeka eshintsha kancane kancane umqondo ngenxa yemiphumela engemihle.
Abanikazi abaningi bemishini ye-iOS bangathanda ukudlala imidlalo efana ne-Super Mario, i-Legend of Zelda noma i-Pokemon kuma-iPhones noma ama-iPads abo, kodwa kuNintendo kungasho ukuthungatha okuqondile kwesu lokududuza okuphathelene nemidlalo yangokwezifiso ehambisana nenkampani isikhathi eside. Kodwa-ke, kungenzeka ukuthi lena ngeke kube imidlalo egcwele, kodwa amahlumela anezinhlamvu ezaziwayo ezinomdlalo olula. Kodwa-ke, ngenkathi uNintendo engabaza, i-thr yemidlalo yeselula isakhula futhi abantu bakhokha kaningi ku-App Store naku-Google Play Isitolo kunangemidlalo ephathwa ngesandla.
Oh yebo... kuyadabukisa ukuthi uNintendo ukulesi simo namuhla. Uma beqala ukushicilela kumadivayisi eselula, ngiyesaba ukuthi isigaba sabo se-HW sesiphelile. Ngikhulele kwaNintendo futhi kuyihlazo ukuthi ngisho nale nkampani yemidlalo yakudala kufanele ikhathazeke ngekusasa layo namuhla. Ngingasho ukuthi awunakho ukumaketha okungcono kakhulu emhlabeni futhi lokho kwenza ingxenye yako. Mhlawumbe kuzovela umbonisi waseJapan futhi kuzoba ngcono, noma ngabe ama-consoles engeyona into engcono kakhulu namuhla.
Yisikhathi esihlukile nje. Izinkundla zamaselula zinikeza imidlalo eminingi evamile ngekhwalithi eyanele, kanye nemidlalo eqinile ethokozisayo nayo iqala ukuvela kamuva nje. Ku-Nintendo kusho nje isidingo sokuhamba nezikhathi. Ngisho ne-PS Vita ayikwenzi kahle njengoba kwakwenziwa i-PSP.
