Diversification. Nintendo needs to merchandise its products into other mediums, like toys, movies, etc. This would increase their profits. It also needs to be very successful in order for this to be effective.

It did that to a big degree as it was. Mario was everywhere. There were toys, trading cards, the Super Mario Bros Super Show, and even a cereal. They can go heavier on that, and a successful film would help. I've brought that up before. And I've learned more about it since that time. Apparently, the directors were trying to go even more outside of what Mario actually was before Nintendo caught wind, and they had to actually do a Mario-Mario movie with the costumes and sets that they had. Ideally, a Mario film should have been Alice in Wonderland rather than a Cyberpunk dystopia for no one.
And I do feel that if you let Nintendo run free without Sega as a major competitor, they'd get in that position. As it was, Nintendo conquered the world. They just needed to get that more set in stone to keep it long term.
They're doing that now to some degree Pokemon plushies are massive money makers, is Mario, Zelda, Metroid and Fire Emblem figures and plush.

Nintendo did beat Sega otl, maybe if they diversified in the late 90's and Square stayed with Nintendo and released Final Fantasy VII-IX on the N64. As well opened their own anime studio and focused heavily on producing anime for their ip's that could by this decade turn out to be live action movies or shorts?
