what i have been saying : nintendo did not come up with the idea of using a motion stick for gaming

what you have been saying : but the le stick didn't get any released games

Your argument has nothing to do with the original argument. 

The first argument was "Nintendo decided to differentiate their console through something other than raw horsepower.", which has nothing to do with the originality of a wand with motion controls. So your argument of "Nintendo didn't come up with this idea." is completely irrelevant in this discussion.

the argument itself was off topic for this thread "what would you do if nintendo bit the dust"

i originaly said that the strategy taken by HD consoles was better in my opinion because it provided versatility and allows for more features... i only branched into saying that the wii wasn't original because the claim was made that it was "new"

And that argument came in response to a post criticizing Nintendo of wanting to make the most money with the least amount of effort, which in itself is off topic, if you want to start classifiying arguments as off or on topic.

And while the Wiimote is not the original motion controller, the Wii is definitely something new. Nintendo wanted to expand the gaming audience and created hardware that appealed to people through interface rather than visuals. They completely defied the traditional console development cycle, and they reaped big rewards for the risk they took.

As for the versatility, there really isn't a lot the PS3 or 360 can do that the Wii can't, if only Nintendo would allow it. Nintendo's restrictions are what kept the versatility of the Wii back, not the hardware.

it was you that called me out on that first remember? i've never made it my business to bother people about going off topic

Do my school work, play Brawl occasionally with friends, watch movies on my PS3, eat some ramen every now and again, patiently wait for October 4th when I can finally get my hands on Dark Souls and Twsited Metal.

So yea... nothing changes for me....

I'm kind of unexicted for any new games from any company now so I probably go "meh" and try to find another hobby like sports.

However, if I was younger, I would probably freak out for that day but then find another hobby to replace video games.

I would spend a lot less money on gaming. That is for sure.

Indeed. Nintendo ALMOST killed gaming with the Wii and they poisoned Microsoft (Kinect) and Sony (Move) into trying to kill gaming as well.

 

Good riddance.

If the Wii U bombs like the 3ds, then this might be the reality. Unfortunately for Nintendo, they cannot operate at a loss like Sony and Microsoft with their other divisions to cover the losses. It would be a sad day in gaming if nintendo went software only but it could happen.

Why would it be sad if they went multiplat?? YOu would still be playing the same games but on different systems

It makes me happy to see that you share my dream of a one console future where Nintendo is the only company left making hardware.

On topic: I would probably kill myself, because my life would have lost its last bit of meaning.

ill chalk this up to sarcasm. I could care less if there are more the one consoles on the market, i usually have 2 per gen anyway

"Nintendo's restrictions"

what restrictions?

I called your argument out for not being relevant to the point this discussion started with, not whether or not it was off topic.

Restrictions on online play for example. The whole system built around friend codes has held the Wii back from receiving the kind of online play attention the PS360 has been getting. There's no reason the Wii can't provide and online experience that can compete with the PS360, but Nintendo is responsible for that, not the hardware.

The Wii can't do things like destruction in the scale of Red Faction, but aside from the really processing heavy stuff and the better graphics, there really isn't much the Wii hardware can't do compared to the PS360.

Pray that they managed to do a comeback and make good games like they used to before the days of the Wii (Not saying all Wii games are bad).

If not, play other systems... Like Sony's. Lately, I have not been enjoying gaming though....

Nintendo has said that they will never put their games on another console if they no longer made hardware. When I look at it like that I will probaly go crazy. But that not to say that Nintendo will actually do that because mostly nobody knows what they will do unless they are in that situation.
