Dont forget these "oldies" you mention that put Nintendo on the map in the 80s were children at the time. my first ever Nintendo console was the gamecube and i was the ripe old age of 24 at the time.Ive got no problem with the direction Nintendo have taken,many people have slated them this generation stating all the things Nintendo have done wrong.But what about the things they have done right??Wii and DS have dominated this gen and both are the best selling Nintendo consoles in the companies history.What makes this feat even more impressive,is the fact they managed to get ahead of the Sony juggernaught which many thought wasnt possible after the Gamecube sales.i think Nintendo is probably at its weakest when it tries to appease the so called harcore gamers (i still cant define what hardcore is supposed to be).I dont think WiiU will top the next gen,but i dont think they will be getting Gamecube type sales either.The WiiU will sell quite solidly and the 3DS will continue to dominate handheld gaming.In the not too distant future graphics will become harder to improve upon and companies will have to find other ways to set their consoles apart from the competion.Nintendo have tested the water with the Wii and was successful.Im a big kid at heart and Nintendo are a fine alternative when i get a little bored of my PS3 or shooters.Mario,Zelda ,Metroid etc are timeless and just as hardcore as COD,battlefield or M rated games.
