Team Nintendo:
- If Walt Disney was alive in the 1980s and working, he would have tried to buy or copy Nintendo....being the visionary that he was and seeing this new entertainment medium as the future.
- Films and theme parks don't deliver the same level of sustained immersion that games do...and per dollar spent videogames provide more entertainment.
- Mario has replaced Mickey Mouse as global cartoon icon known by a global audience.
- But videogames are only now starting to rival films and theme parks for communicating and generating emotional connection and storytelling that fills a deeper need in our happiness psyche....and this is not so far Nintendo's strong suit (Bowser kidnapping Peach vs Zelda' being pursued by Ganon ad infinitum)
- Films and theme parks can be enjoyed as shared happiness by everyone while video games require a specific interest and skill level. Happiness from Disney is augmented because you can share it with all your loved ones.
- Nothing beats the real life immersion of a theme park bringing stories to life in a wide variety of entertainment experiences. VR is not yet advanced enough to rival it.
UPDATE
If you think the question is:
- -how many people each company has reached
- Which one has the bigger mass market appeal or is more universally accessible.
- -which company has been around for longer doing what it does now
- -which company has the bigger breadth of entertainment properties
- How frequently people are exposed to either company 's products.
- Which company is the bigger meanie
