{0}While I have to say that I agree with all the people facepalming

{1}Shareholders would question why they left, and it would shake things up. As for Nintendo's properties, they're not going to either Sony nor Microsoft.

{2}blue ocean strategy knows what the biggest barrier is on both their competitors' platforms- the controller.

{3}Microsoft is likely to stick around.

{4}looking for things to chop to try to see a return on their investment. I put 98% odds on them being around, if it goes to the shareholders, that drops to 75%.

 

{5}1. I could see the system being put aside and going back to trying to be 3rd party.

{6}3. But if you're saying that the PS3 still can't handle these games, then wouldn't it all be for naught?

{7}4.  flash memory comes down enough in price, my prediction is that Nintendo will go back to a cartridge format. 

{8}but I lean more toward an alternative HD-DVD format, for reasons of cost and as a form of anti-piracy.

{9}2. They can create things as powerful as their competitors, look at the Gamecube. It just doesn't fit their overall strategy.

{10}3. it would split their market, with part of the split leaving Nintendo's fold.

{11}4. Nintendo's actually been taking some risks since the NES days.

{11}5. I've pretty much touched on this one already. The controller is the barrier to entry, and making games still has a high risk potential.

 

Will do bullets points like you did. And dont forget you have an opinion just like I do, because the majority agrees with you, whichI already knew they did, doesnt make you more right. Take a step down from your horse and lets talk withouth being snobs.

{0} Imamaturity. These facelpalm only make my argument stronger. Disgresssing to immaature behaviour is points loss in any debate.

{1} Yes, they would question it, but dont think they would be against it, since the handheld would still be around and again, the potential sales of multiplataform games and the lower risk it is being a 3rd party publishers would convince them if the Nintendo executives wanted. Nintendo executives can make bold choioces because they already made huuge profits to shareholders and a veto from shareholders with executives that had so much sucess wouldnt happen.

Of course Nintendo properties would go to neither sony nor microsoft, who said so? Sony nor MS has no share in nintendo and no one thinks they do.

{3}agree microsoft will likely stick around.Unless we see some threat of google that forces them to make drastic changes we likely will se another xbox. Emphasis on likely. Very likely indeed.

{4} Wanna make a bet sony will stick around for PS4, I give you 5:1 odds, it covers yours 75% you took from your hat.

{5}If sony were to drop the console race, they would leave the gaming business IMO, perhaps just with the online mmo focus. But that isnt happening.

{6}I was talking that they will use 3D for the ps4, the motorstom and gt5 are research tests and to show they how they are developing new technology. The fact is ps3 can NOT do 3d and since they showed 3D games instead of movies, show they doing new tech R&D for ps4, and they havent given up on game hardware tech (console).

(7) flash Cartrige format? flash drivers? Nintendo sure could make dowloadable only if they make another console with buil-in flash drive and small gigabity games, but flash cartrige? And I am the one that doesnt have business sense and get facepalm?

{8} good point on HD-dvd to prevent piracy, have to agree, but they would lose the HD disc movie playback since there is no movie studios that supports hd-dvd, but since they have the digital movie distribution and streaming in place, makes sense.But as for games I think is realistic and I could see happening. But still Sony would of UNDOUBTLY use blu-ray, wich they already have lots of manufaturing which is saved costs(my point).

{9} The outsorce most of the manufaturing and that is why they cant make so much agressive pricing strategy. Something Sony and MS can. The processor and GPU mostly are IBM/intel/nvidia/ati for ALL consoles, but there is advantages to being a hardware company since that most other division can help in manufatuing the other components.

{11} Wouldnt split nothing. I am not talking about discontinuing th wii and going to ps3/xbox. I am talking about not competing in console wars and do multiplat games. Next genration, not this generation. Multiplat means ALL the market is potentially theirs.

{11}Agreed. They take risks. But now the gaming businnes is just as big as movie industry, taking risks have more serious consequences.

{12} Talking about next genration console. Ms and sony already doing other controllers type. I am not talking about wii controller. In the next generation even the nintendo would already have diferent controller if they go 1st party. If they go 3rd party they just need to adpat to their MS/Sony new controllers, that might not even be the wand or natal.
