Forums - Nintendo - what would the the world be like without nintendo?

mike_intellivision on 17 January 2008

There would be gaming computers by people like Commodore, Atari, and possibly Apple.

That's where the market had headed when Nintendo re-invented video games.

Commore 64/128 series and Amiga series. Atari XL and ST series. Apple II series and Lisa/Mac series.

Those gaming computers make it more difficult for the PC to gain a foothold in the home since people like the multi-purpose units.

Sony emphasized home electronics and invents systems for music and video storage and that people adopt.

Microsoft supplies business but does not enter into the home or entertainment ("There's just no market in it," said William Gates, founder and CEO of the computer company).

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

Due to having nothing to do, I probably would've started drugs. :/

DSLover,that´s kinda....sad....the only thing?



DSLover on 30 January 2008

Yep. I cannot afford to invest in more than one platform so DS is my only gaming option. I also have little money left over for DVD's, only one guy I consider to be my best friend, I've been unpopular virtually my whole life and have been turned down by 9 different woman, 100% failure rate, worse than the 360.
