Forums - Nintendo - What would you do if Nintendo bit the dust?

Probably cry, I love Sony and the PlayStation family nowadays, but nintendo just holds a special place in my heart. So many memories with the old family SNES then the family 64 and mario party games with my 3 brothers, then my gamecube my first console to myself and the start of me as a real gamer. Buuut that aint gonna happen.

I would do exactly what i am doing now. Play awesome games like SC2 and inFAMOUS 2. I would hope Pokemon stays the same though. OMG nerd chills thinking about pokemon on PSP/Vita lol.



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.



Post in a thread on VGC about how industry innovation will come to a halt, then post like normal on VGC and play a few games on the side. Same old, same old...

Nothing ignorant about it, actually if anything is it's your post, you don't have a clue clearly. Nintendo have absoloute billions in reserves and are still expected to make a profit this year. Even if WiiU doesn't take off, and it comes 3rd, they can still make a profit on it like they did the gamecube. They'll never see huge losses that will force them out of the industry.

Your whole post is just ... laughable.


And really, you think Sonys other divisions covered the loss of PS3?



 

hope sony buys them out or an exclusivity deal

Yah Maverick I gotta agree with Seece last I heard Nintendo had like 16-billion in reserves so they aren't going anywhere. They could probably survive a decade of straight losses (The type that Sega incurred) and they would still be alive. The only thing I worry about is their stock dropping further and further till some other company can come in and buy it up.

Infact now would be a great time for Nintendo to buy more of its stock back. Actually wouldn't that be insider trading? Either way if WiiU goes down and stock pricing free fall again, I will strongly consider investing my own money, I have faith that Nintendo will always rebound whether it be in one or four generations they will never stay down.

My question was hypothetical. Not logical or based on my actual beliefs!

I do have a clue, of course Sonys other divisions covered the loss of ps3. They lost every cent they made off ps2 and ps1. If it was any other company besides Sony or Microsoft they would have been finished. Nintendo can't make the  same discisions as Sony i.e. operate at a loss and buy loads of 1st party studios. If nintendo make a ps3 like error they would be finished.

I know you might love belittling people to make yourself feel better but please it doesnt work on me. I see you do it all over this site the whole time.
