The industry doesn't revolve around the success of one platform.
| POE said: Wrong my friend. This industry is a pile of trash now, and thats thanks to Sony and Microsoft. |
Please elaborate how Sony and MS ruined the industry.
Nintendo doesn't even try to move the industry forward, they basically just cater to their fans and focus on gimmicks. Which is why Wii U is a failure.

| Materia-Blade said: No. The industry is currently facing a quality crisis BECAUSE of playstation and, to a lesser extent, xbox. without it, we would probably be getting much more games like the ones from the 90's and before. "Without Sony and MS, the industry would be much weaker with just Nintendo and Sega, a 3rd console manufacturer could enter but I doubt they'd be as serious as Sony and MS. I can imagine a few companies trying like NEC etc" Why would it be weaker? two is only behind a single company as the best number. "So my conclusion is, without Sony targeting the young adults and +30 age groups" This myth should be forgotten. video games didn't change with playstation. we got the same games as before + the ones made possible with polygons. Sony didn't target adults, they simply liked the games, games that would be on other consoles if playstation wasn't a thing. |
pretty much this. Sony and MS let the 3rd party run wild and now they run the show. Since their first party isn't on the level of Nintendo they need them more than ever. And because of this, 3rd party got way more liberties than they should have. They dictate everything now and its leading gaming in a bad direction.
No, I think more people would have just bought other consoles
Nintendo would be bigger and probably wouldn't have made risks with things like the wii.. and sega would likely have held in there... and maybe still be awesome... Which is a big case for erasing PlayStation from history imo.
Nintendo are the ones competing with mobiles with their handhelds. But maybe they wouldn't have taken a risk with the ds if it wasn't for the psp.
Of cause you can't make any really informed guess at where things would go if you fundamentally change history like that. Maybe Mario galaxy would have sucked in that universe, the dreamcast 2 might have been the one with wii motes, and the Xbox might have been an Apple console.
"Nintendo 64, would be the leader of Gen 5 which means gaming held back another generation of the constraints of cartridges."
cough cough Sega Cd, Sega Saturn

Nintendo didn't save anything. They were just in the right place at the right time. If it wasn't them, then someone else would have come in, instead. Or so I've been told. |
This doesn't make any sense, what if I save somebody because I was in the right a place at the right time, a "If it wasn't them, then someone else would have come in" is not going to change the story whether you like it or not.
| generic-user-1 said: Sega saturn would have sold alot better. and sega wouldnt have been so broke. the PS got lucky and the saturn didnt, thats all. sony didnt do much for this succes, they were there when first nintendo fucked it up and than sega fucked it up. the games that pushed the PS the hardest would have been made anyway. |
this.
Anyone who disagrees with the op is a delusional diehard supporter of Nintendo. The way consoles are now is fine. The Wii dominance ruined gaming whereas if GameCube or original Xbox dominating would have still moved gaming forward. Sega failed due to a horrible marketing team. Sony's marketing could use work, and Nintendo is reliant on nostalgia and the same ol Mario stuff. I remember the awesome days of backstreet brawler, bad dudes, double dragon and river city ransom. New ip's truly help the market and Nintendo (outside of pikmin /fire emblem) lack that. M$ has relied too much on halo to save them, and Sony better wake up to keep advancing the home console space (the order was an OK try, but Bloodborne did the trick). The winner this Gen will be the company who takes a "from gamers, FOR the gamers" stance. The Nintendo "we know what's good for you" stance is no longer going to work.
Moderated - Starcraft
Make games, not war (that goes for ridiculous fanboys)
I may be the next Maelstorm or not, you be the judge http://videogamesgrow.blogspot.com/ hopefully I can be more of an asset than a fanboy to VGC hehe.

That's why I can't wait to play Fatal Frame v and xenoblade chronicles x, two Nintendo games that are clearly full of nostalgia and mario stuff. do a little research and stop de clueless hate ;)
