Only Nintendo can kill Nintendo.

can you give a more reasoning answer

nintendo will be dead,when the world ends in 2012. cherrio

Only Nintendo can kill Nintendo :D

People fail to realize Nintendo is a superior business company when it comes to gaming. Never selling their systems at a lost, creating top notch software that makes the money. Nintendo alone kept the N64, and Gamecube alive. Even though they weren't printing money systems. Nintendo still made out like a bandit due to it's software. So they only real way Nintendo could die off. Is if they Start being greedy like Sony as in release consoles at a huge loss. Then stop making software that have huge sales. Iwata is a smart business man so there will be no more dumb mistakes. As in going with cartridges and other high price media. Nintendo has also played nicer with 3rd parties. Not controlling them in the same way they did in the past. Even though the industry was better for it. So if Nintendo turns into a Sony or a Sega. Then that will be the only way they could go under.

Unless Microsoft and Sony join forces and formed one Super System. That shit ain't going to happen!

Sony will always try to force the Sony Corporation plains on the gamer through their systems. Sony wanted to sale Bu Ray, so they put it in the PS3. The same way they put a DVD drive in the PS2. Now we have 3D which they hope makes people buy Sony's 3D Tv. So their systems will always be at a lost. Sony also has yet to create a true killer App. Gran Truismo is a big selling game for them, but it's always late arrival makes it irrelvant. Even on the PS3 the best selling game was GTA San Andresa a 3rd party game. So the amount of money they take in. Will never be as much as Nintendo. They no longer have a 3rd party advantage, and the 140 PS2 sold was a illusion. If there was that many gamers where are they now?

Even during the GCN era, Nintendo was profitable, they have a better understanding of business than their competitors

Miyamoto clearly stated that the idea of a Wiimote came about during the NES era and they worked on the technology since then realising they couldn't implement it well in the 90's. The technology has been in developement for a decade.

Nintendo alsways makes cheap platforms.... lol the GameCube cost a mint to make and the N64 was state of the art costing hundreds to manufacture when it was released. Sony makes a single expensive state of the art machine and suddenly Nintendo only makes cheap machines? GameCube was far superior to the PS2 and the N64 was far superior to the PSOne. Nintendo chose to go cheap with the Wii, one time and you want to say Nintendo always does....seriously thats purposterous!

The same way Sony got the idea for Move? You seriously think that Sony's R&D teams were working on Move prior to Nintendo's reveal? You think Sony came up with the idea in a lab before Nintendo pioneered the technology. lol...lol...LOL... Sony took four years to bring the Move to the market after Nintendo released the Wiimote. If Sony was indeed working on said technology before Nintendo they would have had the product on shelves way quicker.

It doesn't really matter why Nintendo had their own formats does it? It still costs millions in R&D to develope those formats. Yes they may have done it to avoid paying royalties but Nintendo also did it to combat piracy etc...etc... But again as I said it doesn't matter why they did it it still cost alot in R&D.

The 3D screen during the GameCube era, that would have cost money to develope and it must have been their since Nintendo seriously considered selling the screen. That technology was adopted to the 3DS all these years later. As for the other devices, infrared seriously you think the vitality sensor and balance board use only infrared and that makes them cheaper to develope.

Seriously who's the one talking out of their ass.

Rescent estimates (2008) claim Nintendo was that year spending 370-million dollars on their how console devision R&D. Nintendo is spending more and more and more on R&D. Think about it combined 500-mill a year every two years is a billion dollars.

Yes Sony's cell may have cost 2-billion to make but Nintendo spends that in two years too if not more. Now you say thats not including all the stuff Sony is not telling us. Well the same can be said for Nintendo we don't know everything they have been developing either.

Seriously mighty Sony may have more costs due to being an entertainment monopoly sure they may take losses in their movies and music divisions. But they do not spend all that much more then Nintendo does on R&D. Since neither company reveals their full R&D costs its hard to tell who is spending more.

You tell me I'm talking out my ass, dude your looking in a mirror. Yes Sony spends alot on R&D but Nintendo spends alot too and you can't claim Sony did so badly just because of R&D when Nintendo has never been in the red and spends that same at least 2-billion every four years.

Also keep in mind the cell wasn't just developed for the PS3 but for computers and other devices in Sony's arsonal. Also it was made with help from other companies who helped Sony with R&D its not like Sony developed the chip all alone and for the PS3 only.

Neither of us know what Sony and Nintendo spent this year or what they are all working on but I can guarantee that Sony isn't outpacing Nintendo by all that much.
