I sometimes wonder what gaming would be like If Nintendo and Sony join focres.

All I know is that if it were real, I finally see who would win Between Mario and Sly Cooper in the next installment of Smash Bros.

What do you mean, exactly? Co-develop the Wii-Station?

I don't know about that. Other than Zelda and Metroid, I'm not crazy about the Nintendo approach to console gaming. I don't like Mario and I don't want Mario branded games suddenly overshadowing everything. I don't want a ubiquitous mascot character smeared all over the place. I don't like platformers very much so Nintendo actually brings very little to the table for me.

On the other hand, I'd definitely like some Nintendo handheld games on my DSV. You can keep Mario but I'll take Fire Emblem.

Not even... Mario Paper?

no because it's great that they are competitors. they have to work much harder to be successful because of that and i'm not sure if sony would really have so many different games then. maybe there wouldn't be something like lbp.

Absolutely not. Competition is what drives the production of high quality games.

mario is the reason i play games, such a hurtfull thing to say.

Yeah that would be nice since they are only two of the big three I like now.

Mario is the reason that EVERYONE still play games today

please for the love of god no. for so many different reasons

Personally i want to see Microsoft crushed this new gen for their greedy ways. For that, i think its better for them to be separate. If they were joined microsoft would become the alternative, while separate they become each others alternative leaving the microsoft to dry.
