That is a horrible thought

To answer the question in the OP: No just no.

without Nintendo making hardware, gaming today would be a very boring place( it would be graphically impressive, but boring).

yep.

There is nothing about a nintendo wii or WII U that the 360 or ps3 cant already do besides nintendo games. No one buys nintendo hardware for the hardware.

Nobody buys any hardware for the hardware. Video game consoles have a purpose.

Well PS2 was a DVD player and PS3 was a blu-ray player right?

Why don't Sony or Microsoft cease making hardware and just make software for Nintendo consoles?



The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.

I wasn't going to make a hate-filled reply, all I was going to say was this:



If we go with this type of logic then we might as well say the whole gaming industry would be better off if MS, Sony, and Nintendo all just got along and made one console with every single game on it. Which wouldn't work. (Not trying to say your idea is bad... it's just not such a great one. It just wouldn't work, nor make sense.)

Yes. Just make handhelds. Console business is its own beast these days. Hard to compete.

Will they? And take the chance of missing out on 20-40 million sellers and pocketing all the cash? No.

To be honest I think, in the long term, this is a very likely possibility.

They wouldn't necessairly have to miss 10 million seller multiplayer games, they just have to place a mini-HDMI port and bluetooth (to connect controllers) in their next-gen handled device. If you consider Tegra 3, a one year old tecnology, is already capable of playing this at 720p (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_Ci2temTaA) in 5 years form now I guess mobile graphics will be good enough on TVs for Nintendo standards.

It's never really been about system specs, though.  It's more a careful balance between cost and performance.  Nintendo will always opt for less-sophisticated graphics and focus more on input device and trying to be innovative with game design.  That's what I like about them.  After all...there are a lot of terrible games out there that look fantastic, but it's always the reverse of that which makes good games.  Amazing, high-quality graphics mean nothing without strong gameplay behind them to back it up.

For everyone that is sayin YES... all that means is that you recognize that Nintendo makes good games, so why then do you not support their consoles?

I remember asking the same question when I was fairly new to the site. I got the same response back then as well.
