Even though I would like to see nintendo go down, it is very unlikely to happen. Maybe the stock drops enough for a bigger company *cough ms cough* to pony up some $$$ and get a majority share, but nintendo would not still go away. Their games would just be on another console.

Why would you 'like Nintendo to go down'?

Because he hates gaming? No gamer should wish a manufacturer to go down. Segas downfall as manufacturer was a big tragedy.

No, you got it all wrong. I like gaming, just not the style of gaming nintendo offers.

I understand that, but Nintendo doesn't hurt your style of gaming. Wishing them to go down would rob the industry of creative input (the same is true for the others too). So, if Nintendo would go down also your style of gaming would be affected (less ideas that go into the games). Let's be honest: everyone looks at the stuff the others do. And if they see something interesting the use the inspiration to make their own games better. So if you wish one manufacturer to go down, you obviously hate gaming.

Yes it does, taking away some sales from those companies which make the games I like. Also their innovations make games worse for me, not better. For example the wiimote did not bring anything to the table for me, it just made industry go after those "casual gamers".

You are obviously wrong.
