2 - Competing with Nintendo/Miyamoto, its damn near impossible to beat them. Except for maybe Square with an Rpg can you see anyone making a wii game better then Nintendo themselfs ?

2: One word: Rare. They had some top-notch titles that went toe-to-toe against Nintendo and fared arguably better in some cases (GoldenEye 007, Donkey Kong Country, Blast Corps come to mind).

But based on that logic, wouldn't everyone simply buy Nintendo and eschew any other console - after all, it's "damn near impossible to beat them"? What's the point of other developers coming out with new games for non-Nintendo platforms if it's "damn near impossible to beat them"?

 

my #3 comes to play, The demographic is way differant. Nintendo games wont work well on 360. You think halo would have done 6 million on the GC ?

Actually, yea, I do. Goldeneye was a very similar game, and it sold over 8 million copies.

But I think your point still stands all the same. There definitely are different demographics, and those differences are even greater this generation than last. I just think your example was a poor one :p

then vida pit or whats its name.  Golden eye did have the benefit of James bond brand name.
