Sega fukd them selves over wth bad management. At their prime, they had more talent and balls than they had business sense.

Nintendo needs some of those Sega balls these days...they have been playing it completely safe for the last few years.

Otherwise, he is wrong as usual. Industry goes where the money is. Howmany 3rd party flops have there been on the wii? Not to mention that working with the Wii means working with yesterdays technology. People like to work with latest tech...

ARE YOU SAYING THEY PLAYED IT SAFE WITH WII!!!????

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH BALLS IT MUST'VE REQUIRED TO LAUNCH A CONSOLE *THAT* DIFFERENT!?

They didn't have much choice in the home console market. they were a year late and have been losing market share for 2 prior generations playing along with the competition.

So yes, wii was a risk, but it was do or die.

I'm talking post Wii launch. Many publications and sites have criticized nintendo for just sitting there and collecting cash while they are really not doing much with it. Nintendo said they trippled their R&D...and vitality sensor is what they came up with? Hmm...
