This too.

Since the topic of this thread was flawed at creation. I have a video that will settle this Nintendo Vs the World war.

Like I said in this thread early. By this time next year if Nintendo is constantly in 3rd place. Then their dominance is over until then keep your hating to yourself.

This, this and THIS!

At first I thought you were being sarcastic, but I'm pretty sure you're serious. You sound very angry, which to me you sound like a whiny little child, and extremely selfish at that. "Nintendo should only make games that I like and nothing else." boohoo

Really Nintendo have gone back to what they were like in their older days. Like some have said it's you that has changed, not nintendo, so maybe you should be angry at yourself if you don't like the way things are.

I haven't been a happier gamer since the SNES, and a lot of people I have heard feel the same. Some, like you, don't, and that's too bad because you're the ones missing out.

It should be no secret by now to anyone that pays a bit of attention to my posts, but I plain don't like Sony, at least not in terms of GAMES. I actually think they make some great products like TVs and laptops, but I was never really a fan of their games, and as of late, their attitude has just sucked. Everything from the rootkit scandal to the $599 to the axing of Liksang, it seems they are just the bully of the industry. I also don't really appreciate how their film divison, along with 4 or 5 others, control like 95% of the film industry.

I'm glad when I hear these so-called core Nintendo fans having a fit because Nintendo has "abandoned" them. Oh boo-hoo!

What really happened is that they abandoned Nintendo. The N64 and Gamecube sold a dismal amount of units. Nintendo was on the verge of exiting the hardware market in 2004, and if it wasn't for the Wii and DS, that's probably what would have happened.

The Wii is really a return to NES values. The NES was considered a mass market system. It wasn't targeting gamers, it was targeting families just like the Wii is doing. The NES had the Power Pad (now called Wii Fit), the NES Sports games (now called Wii Sports), and Super Mario Bros (now called New Super Mario Bros). This is why the Wii has been successful. It is getting back to the audience that has been "abandoned" since the NES. Can you, poor core gamer, even imagine what it's like to be abandoned for 20 years?

And to core gamers who think the audience on Wii consists of morons that bought the system as an impulse buy just to be "trendy", that is a complete stereotype and you couldn't be more wrong. If anything, that is a better description of the core audience that lines up at midnight launches and buys games before they even come out.

The audience that bought the Wii did so because they saw legitimate quality in the console. It became "trendy" because the mass market actually saw value in video games that didn't exist before. The Wii, with it's focus on local multiplayer and easy/fun/short gameplay, is still sitting in many people's living rooms and is still being used frequently (check the Nielsen report).

The fever that caused the Wii to be sold out for 2 years may be gone, but that doesn't mean the Wii is headed for an early grave. Nintendo will not be regretting their abandonment of those poor core gamers anytime in the near future. And, in fact, it's not like they've completely abandoned that audience. They are still making great games for the core audience, but like I said, it's the core audience who has abandoned Nintendo. 

If Nintendo is fine with all this, it should keep on following its way. Who doesn't like it can buy from someone else. Nintendo is happy, someone else is happy, former Nintendo users are less happy, but who cares?

" former Nintendo users are less happy"

NO

just NO

not every former ninty user,

I am 28 and still enjoy mario kart, mario party etc. and couldn't care less about HALO, COD.

My girlfriend doesn't like FPS, too.

but who cares?

I meant "former" as "ex", not "older", you are still a Nintendo user. BTW, core games sales on Wii give the measure of core Nintendo gamers still happy, and obviously Ninty is still caring about them, at least.

you meant: former Nintendo users are less happy, because they do not play ninty games anymore?

that would make sense, but they could be happy again! How?

Buy a wii!

No, he meant the people who liked nintendo before but don't like them any more. They propably own a wii already.
