Nintendo has the kids and the hand-held market. Gameboy has been keeping them alive for a long time. Along with Metroid, Zelda and Mario. They haven't put out a good console since super nintendo.

The problem with Nintendo is that they don't produce quality games anymore. At least not many.
I bought the Wii because I thought the technology it had would make for great games. But how many fun games does the Wii actually have? I think I can count them on one hand.
Their targetting of old people and family gaming was a succes, but they failed in delivering games for the rest.

I look forward to the Wii U and what kind of IP's they are gonna make for it. I PRAY that they will start.. whats the word.. Embrace (I guess?) the western company's and their idea's alot more.
They have such potential in the new system, and if they just act like they've done the past.. what, 5 years?? Towards the western world, its gonna be the equvilant of strapping yourself to a barrel of napalm and go "YEEEHAW!" the second it goes off..
Please dont do that Nintendo, I wuw youz, dont be silly..

Maybe you didn't. Every Nintendo console I have bought has been for Zelda and Zelda only, including the WiiThe reason why they should do this is because people don't buy Wii's to play only Zelda or Mario or Metroid.

Well Microsoft has been pretty good at buying third party companies, making their games for their own system and acting like that isn't what they did. Halo... the game that made the xbox. Originally Posted by Insanoflex

I do find it odd that Gears of War is exclusive to the 360 when Microsoft doesn't own it. I am sure the guys over there sat around when someone said "Hey lets make our game for ps3, pc and 360." Then some other guy says "Nah that would be foolish. Why would we want to expand our possible sales to all those people when we could just stick with Microsoft?"

The PSP wasnt even on the DS's radar. Nintendo is still doing pretty solid in the hardware department. They handled the 3DS launch poorly and it will bite them in the ass. But i dont think they are close to being the new Sega.

Nintendo by contrast has sold every single console at a profit. The Wii has significantly outsold the PS3 and Xbox360, and on top of that, theres their own IP, and naturally the third party games as well. The DS has sold one hundred and fifty million units; and again, with every single console at a considerable profit.
Sony and Microsoft can't even dream of saying this.Last edited by mmoca371db5304; 2011-09-28 at 03:49 PM.
