Forums - Gaming - This console war was decided years ago. The nextgen war is taking place now.

I don't think Nintendo will do as well next gen as they did this gen.

Let's look at Sony. They were on top of the world with the PS2. A lead of 100 million units over the Xbox and GameCube. It has sold almost 3x what its competitors have sold combined. It was profitable, and due to sheer userbase, it got both third party support and software sales.

Then came the PS3. Third place, several million units behind its competitors, expensive and sold at a loss. Third party support disappearing.

What's to say Nintendo won't go the same way? What's to say they won't get as complacent as Sony?

And Sony are going to learn from their mistakes. Pushing new technology is a bad idea. Accessibility, low price, good games, these sell consoles.

 

nintendo already pass through that, in n64 time, and sony domination for more than decade started.
