Nintendo is Pixar (and Cars 2 sucked!)

Well Lewis, you make the comparison of Nintendo's current state with Pixar's latest movie Cars 2. However you then counter that statement by saying how great Nintendo is doing with the newest console the 3DS. Its alittle contradictory don't you think?

What can I say?  I'm very pleased with my 3DS!

I was just pointing out that Nintendo/Pixar were still the best in the business but that the competition has caught up with them.  At one point in time, Nintendo's games were so far ahead of the competition as far as quality goes, that it was scary.  Nobody had the amount of polish that their products had.  Now, the playing field seems a little more leveled.  Cars 2 just made me realize that, for the first time ever, my favorite CGI animated film of the year wasn't made by Pixar.  It's sort of like the feeling I got when I had to admit to myself that my favorite game/console wasn't a Nintendo game or console (which was this generartion).

I dunno, its not like the quality of Nintendo games has really taken a dive, its more the quality of the competition has really improved.

I too came to a similiar realization this gen. I can't be a one console guy anymore. It used to be all the quality games came to Nintendo systems. Even GameCube still got several quality ports. But this generation 360 just had the third party support and quality games, Nintendo still had all the great 1st party content. But in order to experiance everything I had to buy an X-Box.

I don't know what a good example would be for Nintendo. They are pretty unique!
