I like how Nintendo puts things in perspective:
http://www.gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=132837
If the Wii is the fastest-selling console by 15 months, why do we keep seeing these posts? Shouldn't we be celebrating the fact that it is the fastest-selling console ever?
Here's the facts. 360 had a redesign. PS3 had a redesign. Wii is selling now as the same console it was in 2006. When Nintendo wants to, they can offer a redesigned Wii, spark sales again, and leave Sony and Microsoft in the dust.
|
Why should we celebrate? Especially if Wii isn't your favourite console?
Do you have nintendo stock or something?
|
You should celebrate that Nintendo is succeeding. They are the only company that actually cares about gaming. Microsoft and Sony care more about profits, creating monopolies, and sucking the life out of everything they touch.
Okay so Nintendo wanted to expand the market and make gaming mainstream, so what? That's a good thing. That means gaming isn't going to turn into a niche business and slowly die. That means more people are enjoying gaming instead of a select few hardcore grumps.
|
That is amusing. Nintendo does not care a bit more about gaming than any other company. They want profits, just like anyone else.
|
If they just wanted profits, they would be making yearly Wii Sport sequels like EA and putting a year after it. Wii Sports 2009, 2010, 2011, and on and on.
They don't do this because they care about gaming and don't want to rape their audience for money.
Did you notice how at e3 this year they were the only company that had something innovative while Microsoft and Sony were heartlessly copying what they did 4 years ago? Haven't you noticed for the past 20 years how they have constantly been creating new innovations that other companies then heartlessly rip-off?
Is this the profile of a company that only cares about profits? Seems like it would be the other way around if that were true. They would be copying Microsoft and Sony and making a PowerCube in 2006.

Oh crap, I pushed wrong button so once again:
Yeah, they do name their games differently. Wii sports, wii sports resort and what next, wii sports extreme? How about mario party 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9? Pokemons?
|
2 Wii Sports games in 3 years isn't exactly breaking any records for sequels. And Sports Resort differentiates far more than most sequels at that.
Also, Mario Party stopped at 8, and that was 3 years ago. In 15 full years there's been what, 5 full Pokemon sequels and 2 remakes? There may be many variants of each, but that's comparable or actually less full sequels than most major JRPG series in the same span. For comparison, Final Fantasy's had 7 full sequels in the same period, and 4 remakes as well.
|
They stopped but still they made yearly versions of the game. I don't see that being any different than those sports games he mentioned. For the pokemons, I am pretty sure that there has been 6 pokemon games starting from 2003 and 2 more coming in a month or so.

This is not meant directly to you, it is to that mortono-fellow.
Now I am starting to see the logic. You claim that nintendo cares for gaming and not for profits, unlike Sony/MS. Then you prove it with... yearly sports games from EA. Which are definitely worse as sequels than releasing the same game many times. Yeah, I see what you are trying to say.
