That is a lie, you are obviously using your owns tastes when you say Need for Speed or GT are better than Mario Kart. That is just YOUR opinion.The two best selling racing games are both Mario Kart by the way, too bad you don't like them, but the market has obviously enjoyed it.

The same goes to your statement about Sports Games.

You really can't see your bias, can you?

Evidence, please?

Nintendo wanted to make a CD based game player, but they kept getting bad contracts with philips and then with Sony.  Eventually, time ran out, so they just said to hell with it...

What the hell are you talking about, different machine architecture???  You do realize console makers don't collaborate when they release a new console right?  They don't say "oh lets all use the new ATI XXXX graphics card and the 4-core intel XXXX....

They can literally just tack on a bit of programming and all of a sudden its a new product with exclusive content.

Now we get to the argumentative stuff.  Raising the roof on graphics doesn't raise anything really.  Its more constrained if anything  Devs are afraid of making anything outside of the norm.

When PS1 came into game, the industry was well stabilished, and even sega did well with the mega drie(genesis). When nitenndo came into the game, most of the people didn't believe on the VG as aviable option. Sony did the rigth amount of restricion when they came. So did nitnendo when they came too.

Just your opinion.

1.1 - "Some of you may tell that companies are meant to make profits and thus it’s totally legitimate for Nintendo to make billions at the gamer’s expense. That is true. However, you as a gamer have the power to choose. If there are companies that have been willing to give you as much as you give them, you can opt by them and make the market to operate on this logic. That is also fair".

Your opinion. When you buy a game, you buy a game. Nobody cares if Microsoft or Sony or Nintendo will be happy with my purchase. If I bought a game is because I just want to play it. Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo owe nothing to me. I bought because I want, because I like it. End.

1.2 - You use so many times the word "complex". Just because Nintendo games are not "photo realistics" does NOT mean they aren't "complex". Smash Bros has a gameplay years ahead of Mortal Kombat or Tekken, you like or not. And what about sports? And cartoonish thing? A game don't need to be gray and have 500 blood barrels to be "complex".  I love to kill some people on CoD sometimes, but is funny and "complex" just biuld my city on Animal Crossing.

1.3 - So many assumptions here that I'm going to skip

1.4 - If you wasted your time searching like you said you probably knew about the crash in 1984, so pointless.

2.1 - Yes, you never made a research. Go and read something about the crash.

I just have to lol at this. Sony, Microsoft, EA, Ubisoft etc do the same thing. Deal with it.

2.2 - I agree that using nini-dvds and cartriges was stupid, but "Sony and Microsoft have always attempted to develop powerful consoles using mainstream hardware tech that could please and be accessible to as many 3rd parties as possible, which could aim for protagonism within the console. Actually, Sony and Microsoft enhanced it, providing good software development tools and eventually financing some projects if they were to be exclusives. Their philosophy was: “if we develop the best system for 3rd party developers, it can’t be bad for our 1st party studios”. No man, just no. PS2, PS3 and original Xbox want to talk with you.

And using anonymous source and saying Wii was safe, you just make sure nobody take you serious.

2.3 - No.

2.4 - No again

3.1 and on - Just your opinion, everything useless and no facts.

And as such they owe no debt to their consumers. Because you may have purchased some products from the company in question does not make you a shareholder, or entitled to anything other than the use of the product you have bought.

They strive to spend their money effeciently and create new gaming experiences, and this is what betters the gaming industry.

Having 4k 60fps games does not do anything for the industry, except provide fanboys some graphics ammo to shoot at eachother.

Proving new gaming experiences, interactions innovations and enticing new customers to the industry is what drives it forward.

And Nintendo leads the way in these.
