Yeah but like soda sometimes u feel like a coke or go for sprite one day or feel like a milkshake choice is good even if u only have one console least u have a choice we dont want a dictatorship.

Also Nintendo is kids games Sony boss yosp said this we need nintendo but for the love of god there next console needs a sensible controller and graphics near the others consoles.

Sometimes choice is overrated for consoles. 

I don't want four or five different disc formats for my movies (Blu-Ray is just fine). Even having two (Blu-Ray vs. HD-DVD) was incredibly annoying. I don't need or want four or five different Netflix style services. 

Choice is alright, but at the same time a lot of good people at Sega lost their jobs and a lot of great franchises and a great company went under basically due to competetion. If something even remotely similar is Nintendo's fate -- meh. I'll take the alternative please. 

Nintendo need to do what sony did with the ps3 make new franchises theres alot of talent and imagination at nintendo let them of the rails, look at naughty dog have done, ready at dawn, bungie.

Nintendo yes a new mario kart & zelda, but not so many 2d/3d platformers as this genre doesnt sell well little big planet, knack, mario 3d  all sold poor.

I wish nintendo had bought rare back in the day things would be maybe diffrent now, hell the should get timesplitters 3 id buy one.


The whole "Nintendo needs to do what Sony does" thing is past. 

The window for that is over. The core gamer market is either Sony or MS and Nintendo won't be able to change that nor would they be willing to take the enormous risks in competing head on with two conglomerate corporations that can ride out video games losses because they have 10 other divisions. 

Woulda, coulda, shoulda, yes they should've done things differently 10-15 years ago, but that train left the station a long time ago. 

Time to focus on what is best for the company's future today, IMO since they're not really making any headway against Sony anyway, why not make them a partner? It would make them more money, it would make Sony more money, and ultimately I really think it would be better for the game industry. The Japanese industry especially would benefit from a united front, it would also soldifiy the traditional game model in a sea of changing trends (most of which IMO are negative).
