I find that most of the people that complain about Nintendo continuing to use their successful branding are the same ones who get excited for the next Call of Duty or Madden game. Mostly people with crazy double standards.

Nah, wising for the bankruptcy of a company is bad, because a lot of people would lose their job. I rather have them become third party which is a better idea.

Nintendo becoming third party would mean having some people fired BUT... their games would be on every platform available! The quality would be significantly lower but who cares about that when I can play Nintendo on my Ouya!

PS: It sucks for the people who get fired but you know how is life! You won't remember them or care about them in the end so fuck them!

I could never hate Nintendo no matter what.

They are making some cool new things but it's Mario, Pokemon and Sonic (from SEGA) that should be left (not forever). Pokemon basically hasn't changed since I played it on the original Gameboy 15-20 years ago and Mario games are too similar.

I hate what the company has turned into. Well, not the company itself, I just hate that everything Nintendo puts out is seen as some sort of benchmark. It's all the same stuff all over again. That being said, I'd never wish for a company to go bankrupt. People lose their jobs, families fall apart, women & children suffer. I'd prefer fur that to happen much less than is like to see Nintendo do something that's not from a 30 years old franchise.

NO

Even assuming thats 100% true and there is no other possibility, then nintendo's mistake still doesnt make them responsible for the success of the playstation.

No, they make a ton of great games.

I mean selfishly I wouldn't mind them going third party so I could just buy one system, but not that huge an issue to have a secondary system for my Nintendo fix.

While what you say is true, you also need to keep in perspecitve that the Xbox was needlessly overpowered for it's gen, much like the PS3 was. The PS2 was considerably less powerful than the GC in many ways, but it managed to pull of a hell of a lot of really good games, and for that matter, the Dreamcast, while launched way too early, was also part of that gen, and also managed to, while being even less powerful than PS2, still have some impressive games of it's own.

So system power is vastly overrated. Throwing more "bits" or ram and polygons at something is not going to automatically equal better games. This has borne out time and time again. Wii U, for example, certainly needs more games, but I think by the time this gen is over, it will still boast some of the best (and best looking) games of the generation.

ok? the playstation still exists because of Nintendo..
