I've been reading a lot of comments lately concerning who will come out on top once the 8th gen is over with, and there seems to be a general sense that most people think that Ninetndo is done for.

Why do you think this? The console's sales are drastically low right now, but this is Nintendo. A pokemon game? Mario Kart? Super Smash Bros!? When these titles and others like them begin to launch, does anyone believe the sales will remain at the level that they are at? For those of you counting out Nintendo from 1st, or even 2nd place for next gen, maybe you should step back, take a breath, and relax. Who would've thought that the Playstation wouldve destroyed the N64 like it did, or that the PS3 would recover from its situation in 06-08.

The generation is barely started, so before you count Nintendo out, remember that the PS4 and 720 are not even launched yet. Anything can happen. Have an open mind.

^_^ Don't be so garsh dang negative :P Especially when we have 6+ years left to this race!!!


(I realize telling the Forums not to be negative is like telling a toddler that they can't have a toy, but it feels like this needs to be said... At least for the rational among us!)

This gen will not be 6+ years. Expect 5, devs were pretty pissed about how long this gen dragged on. The reason people are saying nintendo is screwed is because the wii was a fluke. Look at their last few consoles. The n64 obviously was going to lose because nintendo made every stupid decision. The game had the same thing. Also, the ps3 was only down through 2007. 2008 was the year of the ps3, and every year after than was even better. Also, did you notice that the only games you mentioned were first party? That is why a lot of people are saying the wiiu will fail. They alienated every developer so nobody supports them anymore. How many more times can nintendo make the same games over and over before people want change? I'm saying it, every mario kart and pokemon game is basically the same thing. It's also a little worrisome that almost every platform has outsold the wiiU almost every week since its release. They are down, and if they don't change what they are doing, they are out.
