| Soundwave said: I think the bottom line is Nintendo simply does not want to compete with Sony *and* Microsoft. If it was just Sony, that I think they could deal with. Sony is a much smaller company and there's much more room to be profitable even at no.2. The N64 was a big money maker even at no.2 and that machine would've easily sold double (65-70 million units) if they had used CD-ROM instead versus the Playstation. But Microsoft just makes the whole "go make a regular console Nintendo!" too untenable to Nintendo. There's not enough room for three consoles that basically all do the same thing and three companies all bidding for the same third party games. It just leads into a rat race that isn't appealing to Nintendo because Microsoft can simply spend more money and then Nintendo has to match or respond somehow because that are in direct competition. MS is the one that screwed up everything for Nintendo in the traditional console space, Apple is the one that screwed up everything with casuals for Nintendo. So that's two poisoned wells for them. |
Is that why Microsoft with all the cash have won every gen? Oh wait!
Why is it that the company with the most struggles when it comes to finances is the one on top, with the most games, with the better games, with all the 3rd party support? Nintendo and Microsoft have more money than Sony, so?
