This is what you people arent getting.
I am saying that IF Nintendo leaves isnt because they need. Is because they WANT. I am not saying nintendo is in trouble if doenst leave.
I still think we will be seeinng the 3 ones again next gen. But for me there is irony is saying that Sony will leave when for me is the "only company I am 100% sure will make a next gen console"
Metaphor to understand:
Is like Nintendo would leave the all-in inpoker table while is winning and before the table goes for BIG blinds. Moving for backjack that has a dealer that sucks and requires less risk to join the game.

You can reach a much larger market selling physical medium than you can online. Online only has a long way to go for the larger market. Online only can be successful, but it doesn't have the same reach. {9} All 3 companies outsource their manufacturing to the same exact hardware manufacturer (foxconn). Nintendo started with cheap parts, which tend not to drop in value, while Microsoft and Sony started with expensive parts, which do tend to drop in value. {1/11/12} Nintendo has already stated, that if they leave the hardware business their software will die with them. Nintendo will take risks until they go out of business, so the size of the market doesn't matter. |
{0} You said you agreed with facepalm. which makes YOU immature. YOU! And doesn't proves the strengh of my argument, but shows how weak is yours and theirs, or the lack of argument to be exactly.
{7} Big price difference.
ONLINE has WAY biggeer reach than retail. Your claim that retail has bigger reach show how poor business sense you have. Anyone that have this generation console have acess to internet.
Pre-paid cards are already a reality for underages that dont have credit card.
I know that online has a bigger reach because I live in Brazil. where neither the ps3 or wii launched officially and games are 3times as expensive here. I only have consoles, instead of just PC, because I have lways of importing. But for any Brazilian digital distribution offers way more buying power for games, and you can buy immediatly.
Online reach every country, with no shpping costs or retail cost, imediatly.
{1/11/12} Oh , and shareholder don't mind they taking risks until they go out of bussines, but there is a 25% chance the sony shareholders will sack the bigger and influential brand Sony has. Which is bigger than VAIO, phones ericson, camera or even Bravia.
If Nintendo leaves hardware the software WONT die, they would be the bigger and most influential 3rd party. They wouldnt leave in trouble like sega.
Now what were you talking about when you said controller was a problem? You didnt explain in your rebute.
