Lock if old

The decline of Nintendo “could be detrimental” to the wider gaming industry, Sony has told TrustedReviews.

Nintendo recently posted a $15 million (£9.1 million) loss for the last financial quarter, signalling further struggles for the company despite consistent Nintendo 3DS family sales.

Now, PlayStation UK boss, Fergal Gara, admits that the fall of Nintendo could impact the entire gaming market, especially if companies like Sony don’t engage with younger consumers.

"[The decline of Nintendo] could be detrimental to the market, unless people like us raise our game and help tap into the younger consumer group that they serve rather well”, Gara said in an exclusive interview with TrustedReviews. “That is the challenge to us. We need to bring maybe more family-friendly, more casual experiences into the market. I think there’s a big market segment there that we should take the challenge to engage and I see lots of potential to do that.”

Nintendo’s latest financial reports are far from positive, but the sales of the 3DS, and its siblings like the Nintendo 2DS, surpassed all other console formats last year. Something Sony is very aware of.

“The DS family was the bestselling format last year, despite the stellar sales of the PS4 for the last four or five weeks, it was still the best selling console or console family.”

Playtendo/Ninstation incoming? :P

LOL Sony talking about the decline of others is really funny when they are on the verge of closing half of they bussineses.
Anyway. Theres no decline for Nintendo. Is a decline from Wii popularity nothing else. Nintendo is actually stronger than ever was.

OP in your opinion, was Sega's decline detrimental to the market?

Next question, should you have really made this thread?

Of course!

how are things in fantasy land? is it raining there? 

It definitly was. SEGA is a husk of what they used to be.

I'm not the OP, but i answered anyways. :P

So... there was a decline for Nintendo.  That's some strange logic you're applying there.

OT: No thanks, Sony.  You make things like EyePet and Wonderbook and it does horribly.  Just stop and focus on what you do well.

Nintendo's decline is their own fault. They failed on everything in 2013, from the lack of advertising, to the fail name, to the lack of big budget titles to no show at e3... I am glad they are in a decline cause when they are put up against the ropes, they temporarily learn their lesson and put out amazing content

Now I want to hear it from King Kaz. I won't believe it till then.

Nintendo failed with the Wii and Wiiu, I look forward to their next console

It doesn't rain there silly head.
