| IsawYoshi said: I agree that Nintendo haven't invested enough back to us, but this is business. They have a way to do it, and unlike sony and ms way it isn't currently making tons of devs go bankrupt. I will say though, you make it seem as the N64 and the GC was weak systems compared to their respective competitors. That is completely wrong, both those systems were plwerful for their time, the GC being more powerful than the PS2 forexample. As the gamers didn't pay their "debt" to nintendo for being more powerful and pushing gaming forward, they didn't see the need to pay back with wii. |
This poster knows what he is talking about.
Don't forget to mention that Nintendo has done most of the innovating in the industry. Sony doesn't care about innovation, but mainly adding more power into their system. Microsoft's only innovation has been the online multiplayer capabilities of console gaming (which, before the xbox was pretty crappy).
Gamers owe a lot to Nintendo, whether they realize it or not. Sure, Nintendo pulled out of the losing battle that is taking place over whose console is more powerful, but in doing so they have focused on making games more fun to play. Personally, I don't give a damn about the motion controls of the Wii, but a lot of people did. The Wii had some damn good games on it though. I do love the gamepad on my Wii U, probably because I love my DS and 3DS also.
Let's also not forget that Microsoft and Sony keep copying everything Nintendo does. Nintendo brings us motion controls, so Sony and Microsoft bring us Kinect and Move. Nintendo has the gamepad, so Sony uses tablets (what a joke) and Microsoft has it's Glass stuff that I don't know much about.
Gamers need to quit bashing Nintendo just because they try to do things differently. Without Nintendo, we would have a lot less games on the market, and a lot less variety. Without Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft wouldn't do anything other than building steam boxes without steam.
