| M.U.G.E.N said: Again if Sony can start to sell at an affordable price from the start, and gain more and more 3rd party support (their 1st parties are solid) then they will do great... I personally think that Ninty will need something unique 'again' to get the leader position next gen ...they are more than capable of this however...but I also think Sony and MS are too..so it's anyones game really :D we all gain tho, better the rivalry the better the games |
Sony's first party is good, but Nintendo's is in a whole different league. I'm not saying a new Sony handheld / console wouldn't do well, but I definitely don't see why people assume they have any chance at outdoing Nintendo just by "not screwing up."
Why would Nintendo need something unique to remain leader? I don't understand that mentality. Nintendo has the strongest first party by far, and if they come into a gen with AAA third party support (which they virtually had none of in the west this gen), it'd be no contest. It's the third party games that keep the Sony / MS consoles afloat, and if that differential is removed, well...
It's Sony / MS that need to do something unique to overcome the current leader. I wouldn't say that's impossible, but the odds are really against them.
