I always wonder what happened there, only now I realized that was Nintendo bad businesses that caused it, and not huges paychecks from Sony. They tried to get a monopoly out of it, and ended up being last. Yet, I disagree with the gamer debt. Unlike Sony or Microsoft who can get their money out from other businesses to invest in gaming, Nintendo can't. So they need to make always profit, no matter what, they're a gaming industry only. Maybe they should just start making games for other consoles, and let their own console die ~ Even if I believe, Nintendo will be the only one to release a 'next-gen' console. I'm not seeing Sony neither Microsoft doing another console ! |
Nintendo killed Nintendo is a simple yet accurate way to describe many of their failures and mishaps. 
Nintendo's way of handling 3rd parties during the NES and SNES generations most certainly didn't help in the N64/PSX era. And to make matters worse Nintendo's console was the last one to hit the market, it used cartridges (whoever thought that was a good idea is an idiot) and focused way too much on 3D in a time when many games still relied on 2D technology. As much as I loved the N64 it was a tremendous failure for Nintendo and they're still paying the price for it.
