I know some of you aren't going to like me saying this, but I would be happy if Nintendo dissapeared, out of spite.
As much as I liked the NES and the SNES and the fact that gaming would barely exist today if it weren't for Nintendo, their recent consoles, games and practices are completely tarnishing their brand.
They barely release any good games and they obsessively milk all of their franchises, most of which are now decades old(1). Their hardware is last generation but with a current gen price and it usually sports some gimmick that developers like to abuse. They also like to blank their hardcore followers and treat them like crap, the perfect example being "operation rainfall".
All Nintendo want is to make the maximum amount of money with the minimum amount of effort possible.(2)
As much as I liked the old Nintendo, I was laughing while I was watching Nintendo's E3 and how poor the Wii U reveal was, not to mention the poor sales of the 3DS. Nintendo shot themselves in the foot, if they don't learn from their mistakes and they keep trying to grab money from the gullible "family" audience, then I couldn't be happier to see them disappear. |
1) What wrong with decade old franchises? Do franchises have a maximum life expectancy?
2) I would argue that Sony and Microsoft are the ones who took the easy way out.
Sony guy 1: "Hey, we have to make our next gen console, what should we do?"
Sony guy 2: "The same thing everyone always does make it bigger and stronger"
Sony guy 1: "Yeah let's do that"

I don't see a problem with your story of sony guy 1 and 2. For your information, only the ps3 was the most powerfull console of the gen. The ps1 and ps2 were the least powerfull out of every console in their gen. So it is not a Sony trend mate.

PS2 is stronger than PS1. PS3 is stronger than PS2. That's the trend I'm talking about. Don't get me wrong, Nintendo did the same thing before the Wii.

gc is stronger than n64, wii is stronger than gc
the strategy microsoft and sony used this gen from the standpoint of options provided was better than nintendos because they offered more versatility... in that for example microsoft and sony were able to offer add ons to suuport motion gaming but the wii will never be powerful enough to accomplish many of the features provided by the HD twins...
from your post you seem to be implying that providing more power and versatility is a bad thing which imo is nonsense and part of the reason nintendo is being forced to release a new console so soon
