Copy Sony?  Nope.  Not sure Nintendo gains anything from copying Sony.  Nintendo, for one thing, ends up having first-party titles that sell really well, and Nintendo does a far better job than Sony on this front.

Now, if you want to argue Nintendo should come up with some new IP that would be of interest to more core gamer audience, I can see that be argued.  Currently, Nintendo is pretty much milking their old IP, even if it may be in new ways.

Maybe with the WiiU, they could really push some new IPs, particularly doing an RTS.

Are you ready to have this fight

Because I am just raring

I totally agree. Nintendo has me, their main problem thought is they rely too much on third parties for their mature titles. Sony does it all just like Sega did, except (LOL) they were smarter about it. I wish they had Nintendo and Microsofts marketing. Also they suck at trying to get casuals to like them, they just come off like dicks.

Come on down to Mississauga. I'm in your land for a job interview (and wth is up with there being no free parking anywhere in downtown Toronto? I don't have any cash on me, i'm totally screwed).

You *know* that i'm not a total subscriber to the Malstrom theory, but at the end of the day it is important that developers remember the audience first. Creative freedom needs to be balanced with a bit of market tyranny.

Just leave if you want the topic closed. I so want to flame you right now but I don't want to get banned. Seriously, what a needless post.

You come in a thread that I took the time to make, you follow-up to a post that I'm already unsure how on topic it is just to say CLOSE TOPIC.

HabinoBR, you are not wanted in the thread.

Nintendo applys the light-hearted and child-like (with color scales and all) approach to games, which is why they are considered the disney of videogames. They are made to attract children and generally casuals. You'll find this is true with Nintendo products being more dear to women and children than any other brand and actually sharing a proper percentage of sales between males and females. The DS was like 50/50 in sales between both genders where as the others were dominated by men. I am sure the Wii was somewhere up there too.  It's not that Nintendo isn't good at making certain games...it's that they don't want to because their first part represents them as a company.

Metroid is clearly a great example of a light-hearted Nintendo franchise with a large female fanbase (well actually the second part may be true).

Ironic how Sony copied Nintendo in the past.

Yes, Sony has copied Nintendo, but what makes Sony great was its own doing. The same goes for Microsoft and Nintendo. What makes them all great is what they brought to the gaming table.

first reaction: HAHAHAHAHAH are you f ing kidding me..

second reaction: hahaha are serious? why the hell should they?....

make a system lose 100$ for each console sold... yeah exellent buisness... you do know that Nintendo doesn't have the same options right?
