Some people have gotten closer to the mark. All Nintendo really needs is more capacity to do everything they want to do and need to do. If we can't get them to stop making GameCube-style games, the least they could do is build more in-house teams so that they could make more of everything. A major external acquisition wouldn't help, unless they picked up a company that really gelled with the Nintendo style; they need to get out there and build more teams and start poaching talent, so that they can just make more games across the board

Why compare the sales of the 3DS to tablets and phones. That's an unfair comparison. There's only one 3DS and many versions of tablets and phones,so of course those 2 are going to do better in sales,plus there used for other things.

thanks for the generic,I don't agree with his post response.

Exactly.

Another thing is, actually promoting the games made by these teams. Sure, they bought Monolith in 2007, but how many Monolith games have made it to America?

Nintendo is on a giant slope downwards, and a major part of it is due to their 'xenophobia' of outside help; they want to do everything alone.

i voted wait and see. But how crazy would it be if Iwata got overthrown and we start to see Ninty games on app stores in a year??? That would be insanity

Remember opinions on VGChartz are forbidden. :P

This. What's hitting Ninty hard right now is just messing with or neglecting the targets it actually wants to cater for. Diversifying could be a good move, but is it in a market like cellphones with fierce competition, where even MS with all its billions is struggling against the market leaders?

No, i'm saying they *can* do it alone, they just need to make themselves bigger. EAD Tokyo was a good start, and they're supposed to have a new R&D center coming up in Kyoto in the next two or three years. That's what they need to pursue aggressively: making it so that they can go it alone, simply by making their internal groups bigger

Outsourcing old titles generally hasn't worked in the past, except to Next Level Games, whom they should totally lock down, but StarFox hasn't fared too well being passed around like a joint...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

I also would hate that scenario; but maybe it would be for the better, because we would spend more time readying some books and doing more exercise.   You know, doing useful things :D.    I know that having "recreation" is also useful to avoid insanity (Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?? lol XD); but you must admit that "recreation" can be achieved by doing other things and not only by playing.    The sad thing about this, is that even knowing that, I cant stop playing lol (in a responsable way obviously; because if not I wouldnt have a job to buy my games XD).

I HATE APPLE!!!!

I really hope for SONY, M$ and NINTENDO to merge their gaming divisions together, if somehow apple takes over the gaming world. A consoles that has all those games, would kick apple in the butt really hard. Sadly just like in politics, they want all the cake for themselves and for doing so, they wont get a thing in the end :(

"PlayBox Revolution" :D
