Forums - Gaming - Nintendo should start attacking Sony and Microsoft

Fusioncode said:

Remember how popular Sony got when they attacked MS at E3 for all their awful policies. Why didn't Nintendo do that? They weren't blocking used games and forcing people to be always online.

Would backfire massively, because:

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.

I still fail to see where the insufficiencies of the Nintendo Network are in comparison to the competition.

oh i think they do. Otherwise the WIi U wouldnt be flopping the way it is. So now that it is, what are these consumers that are buying systems for their "family" buying instead? Because they are not buying WIi Us.  My point is if ninty isnt doing something like the WIi then there consoles arent really moving. 


I can agree with that. But they dont need to be a market leader, they just need to continue to make a profit. This gen may be lost to them like gamecube was. But once kids start looking at more bad stuff on tablets and smart phones, once parents see what their kids can get into and what kind of money they can spend I think they will go back to nintendo. Apple, Sony, Microsoft, all the big computer/cell phone/ tablet companies cant lock out all the bad stuff like nintendo can. Its for that reason that i think nintendo will be a hardware maker for a ong time. I could be wrong. I think that tablets and cell phones have impacted nintendo more than sony or ms. I wouldn't be suprised though if the next nintedno hand held and home console get merged into one device to better compete with cell phone and tables.



Nintendo is the still the most rrelevant company according to vgchartz nuff said



They should openly crticise Sony and MS everywhere so that the public become more aware
of the advantages their systems offer.

The problem with that, though, is that Sony and MS have plenty of ammunition to fight back with--better specs, more third party support, vastly superior online functionality, and so forth. And really, they haven't had to go after Nintendo to begin with; Sony has even praised them, with Shu stating that Nintendo is an important entry point for the packaged game business model, while the PS4 has handily slaughtered the WiiU in sales.

Then they should hire those man childs that made the share video at E3.

Nintendo can't really make fun of kinect when they are forcing gamepads on people.

Well the GamePad is the main controller, Kinect isn't.



What's the point, really? Instead of people laughing at Nintendo's shots at the other companies like people did when Sony took shots at MS, they will smack Nintendo on the butt and say, "Bad Nintendo! Don't do that ever again!"

Then Nintendo will look even more silly.



Being as cunty as the competition will surely endear more people to them!

Maybe they can give Tretton a job.
