I'm not liking you already, so I'm going to have to bust your chops.
*Prepare yourself*
Seriously, this is how you start off the site? You really think Nintendo will be on top forever? Look at them, they're already becoming arrogant and it's not even the end of the generation yet! They're already bragging about their sales numbers like Sony did, and their strategy of ignoring what their loyal consumers want (while working) will backfire in the upcoming generations.
Nintendo is set up for a fall 2 generations from now, and the only company that will be ready to take Nintendo's place is Sony or an unknown future competitor. |
Hasn't every company that's been #1 been arrogant? How are you criticizing Nintendo for that when EVERYONE does it?
Second, how do you know they'll topple? They're still appealing to the casual (Brain Train, the "Wii" games, etc.) and the hardcore (SMG, Brawl, Zelda, Metroid, etc.). Right now they're doing to the Wii what they did to the DS. Eventually sales will be too high for third parties NOT to put more quality games on it. Of course there'll still be shovelware (every leading company gets shovelware), but leading systems still get quality games (Wii is getting Tales, Fatal Frame, Arc Rise Fantasia, etc.).
I can't believe you took the time to write and ignorant post like this. But then again I guess this goes hand-in-hand with your other ignorant post.

Exactly, every company at #1 has been arrogant. Doesn't mean that Nintendo is devoid of criticism.
Just because they have success right now doesn't mean they will have a permanent spot at the top. Sony completely stole third party support from Nintendo with the Playstation, released both hardcore and casual games (just look at PS million sellers), and they broke boundaries for how much a console could sell. Will Nintendo do that with the Wii? Most likely. But it won't stop them from toppling over in a generation or two.
As for ignorant posts, don't point fingers.

Nintendo have a new president now Mr Iwata who is much younger and more intelligent than his old predecessor. It was the last guy that caused alot of trouble for Nintendo by pissing off alot of the big Japanese third parties like Square, Capcom etc, around the time the n64, ps1 era started.
Im pretty sure Mr Iwata remembers the past and will avoid the same mistakes and take lessons from the competitors mistakes also. You also gotta admit it took alot of guts for him to go the direction he did with the ds and wii. When everybody at the time would have said it would be suicide. But now looking back on it, he read the gaming business beautifully and everybody else was wrong.
