What amuses me most about the last three generations of Nintendo is you still have the hardcore Ninty's posting threads such as this.The N64 had a terrible controller and in comparison to the Playstation,much less games worth noting imo.In the 6th gen it happened again but on a massive scale,if you times the sales of the gamecube by 5 it still wouldn't be anywhere near the 150 million PS2's sold.
Ninty's were pretty much down and out and then Nintendo strikes gold with the gimmicks....sorry,"innovations" they've added to gaming.The Wii brought Nintendo's success back,where as I think they should have just ceased to make home consoles and stuck with handhelds.
With frequent talk of Apple joing the fray in soon to come years Nintendo will be out of their depth imo.I've never liked hardcore ninty's who wonder why the gamecube didn't sell,and then complain when the wii does sell but it's not good enough for them cause their hardcore ninty's.Get your head out of the 80's,and buy a Playstation if you want true Japanese ingenuity when it comes to Home Console design.
Playstation gaming for 18 years this 2012
