i think you should read my previous post. that and sony has been around for 60+ years as well, and nintendo, for 120 years.

obviously nintendo has only really been very lucrative in the last 20 years and what does that tell you? that times change, and the past doesn't teach you everything.

Is my paintball gun a "toy"? I like building things. Are my tools "toys"? I like playing online with friends. In what aspect does that make my system a "toy". I understood what he was trying to say, but he was being too oversimplistic by generalizing anything that is enjoyable as a "toy". But then again, I guess simplicity is what Nintendo is going after nowadays. He swears that M$ and Sony's game divisions are going to die off because they focus on HD....well guess what. IT'S BECOMING THE STANDARD!!!! Why would M$ and Sony want to effectively work BACKWARDS? Everyone is slowly but surely buying HDTV's, 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound systems, HD receivers, etc..... It's actually SMARTER to work on COMPLIMENTING what people are already doing. It's like economics. Say peanut butter sales were starting to go up. That would consequentally make jelly sales go up too. (PB is HD, and Sony/M$ are the jelly) The Nintendo approach to this would be that if peanut butter sales were going up, they would push something completely opposite, like I dunno....vinegar. Sorry if that seems like a generalization or is too simplistic, but hey, that's what Nintendo is doing, right? Edit: I don't know about anyone else, but I enjoy the fact that Sony has grown with me. I can't say M$ because they're new......but for Sony, the PS brand has grown up with me. THe started with the likes of Spyro and Crash Bandicoot when I was a kid. Getting older, they got things like DMC and the Jak series. Now this generation I'm seeing the likes of Uncharted and MGS4. He mentions "diehards", but the fact is, M$ and Sony are actually keeping their audiences, whereas Nintendo continually brings in new ones by sticking with Mario, and thus abandons the older ones because they get tired of rehashes every generation. My two cents.....

I see where you're going with this however I'd more equate Nintendo with selling BREAD. Buying peanutbutter you might not buy jelly and buying jelly you might want toast so you'll need bread but not always peanutbutter or jelly. Regardless of the way you go Bread would sell. Perhaps you don't even like Peanutbutter because it's not sweet enough and want Nutella!
In this analogy HDTVs = Peanutbutter PS3/360 = Jelly(let's assume raspberry and grape) Wii = Bread. SDTV = Nutella

Let me elaborate for you. If you buy an HDTV you can still fully enjoy the Wii, if you own an SDTV you can still fully enjoy the PS3 however when it's main selling point seems to be it's HD format you might be less inclined Wii's main selling point is it's controller not it's resolution output. If you buy a 360 you can still enjoy a Wii if you buy a PS3 you can still enjoy a Wii but it's more difficult to enjoy a PS3 and a 360 as there's a lot of overlap, hence why I throw them as Jelly. Regardless of which you want you might not want to serve it with peanutbutter(HDTV), you may choose too use Nutella, but you will more likely enjoy some bread with that.

Disclaimer: I know not everybody will buy a Wii I was just using the analogy given to me and running with it.

Edit: I realize a lot of people might not know what nutella is. Nutella is a Hazelnut and cocoa spread not unlike peanut butter.

I love Nutella.

i'm so happy you threw nutella into there

edit: i hate you for making me want something that is only available in specialty stores.

The guy from the video isn't totally accurate. The problem isn't that PS3 & Xbox 360 are focusing on mature games, but that they're not keeping support of "kiddy" games.

What the HD consoles should've done was getting great support of both kinds.

Great video, btw.

Always happy to appease the Nutella loving readers! I'll be sure to throw it in my posts in the future.

P.S. I'm eating a piece of my homemade layer cake with homemade chocolate frosting and thin layers of Nutella between each layer of cake. I made myself crave it too..

theprof and Sega was a penny arcade company; you can get all that information on thier respective About the "insert company name here" sections.

I don't see what that has to do with he point I made, you seem to just be going on a tanjent.

Ohh I see what your trying to say - your wrong. Sadly this site requires I provide you with why I believe your wrong. =.=

Were talking in expanded audience, your wording claims you bought Disney products hence your not a non-consumer hence not part of the expanded audience, you are a consumer and that is all.

Now your arguement is that you wont buy anymore Disney product, heh nice try - the point of a business is to accumulate profit, you can do this currently in two ways; service and product in Disneys case we are observing product but to be fair we should view service as well. So Disney makes thier majority revenue through marketing to children as a staple: but I'm not here to defend Disneys strategy I'm here to tell you why your wrong within the original context of "Doesn't matter what you own from Disney..." (I realize now that was kind of harsh) They simply do not gun for you, or at least no directly, children don't work thier parent's do, as long as people have children and Disney has that mindshare, they have marketability - they will be around for lifetimes if they can maintain that.

Retracted.

@souixan

At some point you thought I was talking to you and I wasn't ^_^ In fact I didn't know you were responding to me until you just quoted me. I honestly didn't check many of the posts as I'm actually reading them while responding, I'm half asleep so spreading myself thing is not what I want to do at this point.

I was speaking to theprof the entire time in that response.

Souixan also you lost me in your response because I haven't been following your posts - I'll read them now.
