Nintendo NX: 10 Awesome Reveals That Could Win The Console War
8. Securing A Major Franchise As An NX Exclusive
One major way Nintendo could plant their flag for the current console war is to steal a major franchise away from Sony and Microsoft as an exclusive.
The possibilities here are endless: imagine the s***storm if Nintendo could claim that Grand Theft Auto, Halo (ha!), Sonic, or just about any other big, iconic franchise were only available on the NX. Half-Life 3 confirmed for NX? There would be outrage, sure, but it would also do wonders for the platform's sales.
How Likely Is It?: Not at all. While it's possible if not probable that Nintendo may secure a more niche franchise as an exclusive (like they did with Bayonetta), you're having a laugh if you actually believe they have the clout to lock down any of the bigger AAA franchises doing the rounds at the moment. 2/10
