Because Nintendo is kind of a joke and it would backfire terribly.

Their only hope is to try and play second fiddle.

seriously, I don't get all the "outrage" at Sony PlayStation "attacking" Microsoft Xbox. Its not like they even addressed them in any of their statements. Unlike when Reggie described both of their launch libraries as meh.
Maybe if they didn't set themselves up so easily, Sony wouldn't be able to take a shot.

People nowadays are too sensitive.

I'm not talking about individual opinions.

If Nintendo quality is so great then surely a lot more of the 100m wii owners would have returned for the wii U.... but its been over a year and less than 6m have.

Now I know youre going to blame everyone and everything else except the quality of its games, but its about time you accepted that if people really held high thoughts of nintendo games, they would return like the xbox and playstation fans did knowing there will be another halo or uncharted or any other exclusive they like.

Once again, im not talking about your opinion, im talking about the usebase of the wii and how its not 100m because of the quality of the games, but the novelty of the product that wore out after which people got bored and didnt see any point in having a second look at nintendo.

Look at my sig for the consistency of the playstation userbase despite all the competition its getting. People see it and think im bragging about sales, but the point of it is to show that Sony is not a one trick pony, and that they have been consistently dominating the industry by focusing on what matters to the core gamer who will be there now, the gen after that, and the gen after that. Not the ones who are spending money today but you might not see them again tomorrow. Then compare it with nintendo and look how their 'fans' buy some systems but not others.

There are really no excuses. Sony have proven that customers are willing to pay higher prices where they see value. They have proven that customers will buy inferior versions of multiplatforms. They have proven that sales can be maintained with word of mouth even when marketing efforts are rested. They have proven that developers can be persuaded to develop for complex hardware which they are not comfortable with.

If Sony can do it while they are supposed to be bankrupt within 2 years, why should nintendo be making excuses when they apprently have enough cash to last them many decades?

Anyway, If you truly believe the wii has the quality to attack the PS3 on games, then design an advert which you think would be effective, lets post it and watch the responses.

Nintendo will always be number 3. They are very ignorant towards what the consumer wants.

To be fair, they were number 1 last gen. 

thats why its in quotes. There are certainly people, in the gaming media no less, who were appauled by Sony's "slanderous behavior" and since gaming is supposed to be kid friendly, they believe that Sony "took it too far".

Especially that line: While others have shifted their message and changed their story, we were consistent in maintaining a message that is fair and in tune with consumer desires

So uncalled for.

Why can't Sony sell playstations off their own merit instead of vaguely criticizing the competition :<

Like setting a shih tzu loose on a rottweiler and a bull terrier

Nintendo has no need. they have their market, and they know their fans. Family friendly business will nt always be the most popular, but they will stand the test of time as they less prone to fads. Thats why nintendo is one of the oldest gaming companies out there to still be around.

It's hard to attack Microsoft over a forced piece of hardware when Nintendo is always shipping a forced piece of hardware. It's hard to attack Sony over paid online multiplayer when Nintendo's online multiplayer barely exists.
