Why Nintendo May Never Interact With A Debt Agency

By Rob Sutter


Video game companies seem to be falling on hard times recently, which is disheartening as a fan. I shook my head when I learned that THQ had filed for bankruptcy and the actions of Electronic Arts have been nothing short of aggravating. It seems like these companies have had financial problems in the past but is it possible for a debt agency to go after what is, in essence, the godfather of gaming? Something tells me that Nintendo would not have to worry about this.

Could you imagine if Nintendo ever did do work with a debt agency and supposedly owed a degree of money? Perhaps such an occurrence with an agency such as R.R.S. would not be disastrous, especially when the gaming mogul has earned so much in the way of revenue over the past couple of years. Based on the sales of the Wii alone, you can tell that money is not going to be a problem. The company's bank account has at least one billion in it, so financial security is more than in place.

When you're talking about the strongest IP in the realm of gaming, I believe most will agree when I say that Nintendo has been able to possess the strongest identities which have been seen in the industry. Everyone knows about Mario and Zelda, to name a couple of examples, and these are the ones which people can trust. They are synonymous with quality and it's a pretty safe bet that, when purchasing such titles, you are going to be greeted with tremendous results, verifying said purchases made.

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.

I believe that most will agree with me when I say that Nintendo has been financially secure for quite some time. A company that has been in the console business for 30 years and counting should not be one that is easily counted out, whether the changes that they make are to the likings of consumers. Speaking as a fan of their products, I know that there are some aspects which can be done better. However, from an overall perspective, they will be around for a while.
