wii sure is kicking the ps3's ass for a so called "niche" system. Arrogance at its max.


I hope Nintendo doesn't turn this arrogant.

 

They used to be just about that arrogant when the old president of nintendo was still in charge, but were humbled by the N64 and gamecube's relative failures....I think they've learned their lesson from it though.


I'm happy Yamauchi is gone >_> Iwata > All

 

 

Were you even old enough to comprehend what was happening then?

"I've played a Nintendo Wii,'' Stringer said last week at the Allen & Co. media conference in Sun Valley, Idaho. "I don't see it as a competitor. It's more of an expensive niche game device. We're selling a lot of PlayStation 3s now and it's still the best way to buy a Blu-ray player.''

so now we know that ps3 is not a console it's only a BD player and it's competing with other BD players cause games are only a niche and ps3 is to good to be a "niche machine".


jesus, when this "wii is not a competitor" bullshit will end?

Old enough? This is coming from a 12 year old? XD

But I know what happened during the times during Yamauchi was president.


Soriku knows everything, scary =p...

When I was 13 and you would say something about Yamauchi I probably would answer 'I prefer yamaha the bring better motors'

cue up the fan boys I suppose. seriously, what do you expect him to say? the same thing that all the nintendo fan boys do, that the wii is the second coming? seriously guys.



God hates console fanboys.

come on, his point was the wii is overpriced, and its thats why nintendo its getting those huge profits from.
and niche because of the control i guess.


and the #1 reason i won't support nintendo for a long time until they drop out the price.

@cwbys21

maybe for him to say nothing at all. Nintendo seems to just fine keeping the shit talking out of the news.



cwbys21 on 14 July 2008

its a lot easier to do that when you are raking in billions and selling consoles as fast as you can make them. you mean to tell me that Nintendo didn't make any comments against sony when it was Sony pounding Nintendo into oblivion last gen.

I would usually start bashing him right now instead of typing this, but things like this have become so commonplace that it's rather intresting to see lab-rats like him react to something different. The Wii.
