Japanese publication says Nintendo most likely still around in 10 year

[Valwin]

Weekly Japanese publication Shukan Gendai has gone through a list of publishers and developers to figure out which ones will still exist 10 years from now. Now did they decide these companies and their likelihood of survival? We have absolutely no idea! What we do know is that they used a scoring system of 1-10, with 10 meaning the company will definitely be around in 10 years, and 0 meaning they'll be dead.

• Gree: 6 points
• Capcom: 1 point
• Koei Tecmo: 0 points
• Konami: 1 point
• Square Enix: 0 points
• Sega: 0 points
• Sony Computer Entertainment: 2 points
• Nintendo: 7 points
• Namco Bandai: 2 points

That's about as much use as a chocolate teapot...

Since I haven't seen the full article, I do not know what criteria Gendai used. Moreover, Shukan Gendai is not a respected business journal like the Nikkei. It's a tabloid.

May as well say that Sega have Shenmue 3 points for all the good it'll do them...

Nintendo will be here up to an eternity. Never will it disappear.

Lol. J/k on that fanboy comment.

IMO, I think gaming companies will still be here after 10 years.

It's almost funny, the top scorers are Nintendo and GREE.
And how are the two connected? Find out yourself!

Square Enix : 0 points.
So, no FF XXVI?
Nintendo, I can understand, they survived Virtual Boy and Gamecube.

I see most of these companies being here 10 years from now. Though I never heard of Gree

They both make casual games as their priority ?

Square Enix? 0 Years? I don't think so.

No it means they are less likely to be here in ten years time according to them.

Either way, how could they not spit out Final Fantasy games every two years?

Seems like they're going to be around for more then 10 years to me.

People can always stop buying them, after they get stale....

^This exactly

All of those will probably still be there in more than 10 years.

I do have a question though. Who the hell are Gree?

That's what I'm wondering

 

[Langin]

I never heard of Gree before... 0.o

Where's Microsoft between?

Why does Temco have 0 points?
