If Zelda is so great why doesn’t Nintendo make it available on more platforms? Being able to run Nintendo games is a prime feature of the Switch product, and being able to run Apple software and services is a prime feature of an iPhone product. By your definition anything useful about an item is simply a marketing tool?

It’d be a very different world if nothing was allowed to have unique access to anything. It might even be better, but it would be a long way from this current version of capitalism.



The answer is the same: because their platform is not very good. So if buyers had the chance they'd instead buy Zelda games for the PC for instance.

It would be a real problem if Nintendo had a monopoly on good games on the US.
