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.

Another reason why I think that this is outside of the realm of possibility is that the company has never found itself in the middle of bad press from a business perspective. I remembered reading about how Sony had to close down offices in order to minimize expenses, which is no simple action. You do not hear about such things from Nintendo, either. This point only works to increase the kind of security which this particular business has been able to uphold for so long.

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.
