Forums - Nintendo Discussion - My appreciation of Nintendo's success as a Sony fan.

Just wanted to share something real quick.  I'm really happy to see Nintendo having a great holiday season.  While some people are quick to point out that the Wii U is being outsold by the Xbone and Ps4, and it won't ever reach Wii sales, I look at it from a different angle. I see the 3DS completely flooring the competition and the Wii U selling a healthy 260k (Dec 14) this week. With the Wii also adding a good 100k helps as well. The DS seems to be dieing but that's only because the 3DS is killing it!

I'm just saying, I'm glad that Sony AND Nintendo are selling HARDWARE. Notice I didn't say consoles, or handhelds. Just hardware in general. As a whole (I haven't actually done the numbers) I'm sure combined they are both pretty close. I love the competition that Nin and Sony are giving each other and it makes them better for it that no single company completely dominates.

So for this Christmas season I'm apprecitive and thankful for Sony and Nintendo. Long live their success!!!

*disclaimer* I don't care for Micro$oft, also I'm really drunk right now.

        Both 3D World and A Link Between Worlds reached 1 million!  They did really good in my opinion.

Good will on a video game forum will be appreciated no matter where it comes from, I think. I'll post just because I like this thread... also wish I was drunk, too.



Hmm

I was actually supposed to work today, but they gave me the day off, which is rare for military. I've had 2 beers only but like 3 vicodin and they are amazing... Got from a friend and never tried before so it's a one time thing.

I think all the systems are doing well in their own right. (To an extent)

Isn't vicodin with alcohol a really bad combination....? o_o

I might be thinking of something else, but be careful with that stuff.

Stagnation without healthy competition. Though I am mostly a Nintendo gamer I do enjoy gaming across all platforms. Good to see praise coming from the other side. Long live video games!!!



"Games are a trigger for adults to again become primitive, primal, as a way of thinking and remembering. An adult is a child who has more ethics and morals, that's all. When I am a child, creating, I am not creating a game. I am in the game. The game is not for children, it is for me. It is for an adult who still has a character of a child."
