Right, and Forza is a higher priority for release than Halo, and Drive Club is higher priority than Gran Turismo.

They are.



Well now you're just being silly.

Focus on power, ask third parties what they want and make changes in the hardware accordingly.

Rely on loss leading strategy to keep a competitive price.

Spend lots of money in new M-rated, storyline-driven IPs.

It would get unprecedented praise from forum posters that didn't buy it, specially after it killed Nintendo.


I wish that I could favorite a post, as this is my "post of the year" so far. You hit the nail dead on the head with this one buddy.



I don't know why people tell me to get a life. I'm a gamer, I have lots of lives!

If i was with me i would have sticked to handheld and went third party.

Or combined with sega and square enix to make a console.

Gold post!

Either they make the Wii (I would have added HD graphics) or they die. Third parties were never going to support Nintendo like they would Microsoft and Sony. The "hardcore" crowd would still do what their doing. Nintendo needed to forge their own path. What they did, they had to do.

I'm not. They greenlit that studio to make Drive Club instead of Gran Turismo. They greenlit the studio to make Forza instead of Halo.



They should make a console designed around the hardcore! That will surely bring them success! Oh wait lol

Just as the thread title says.

Since you live in Australia ... it should be the Nintendo DS!

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

Right, the studio that works on Forza is obviously the same one who makes Halo.

Does it have artists and programmers? If yes, it can make Halo.
