Dear Nintendo,
Can you please stop smoking the finest cuban cigars made by the playmate of the year becasue I have a big issue you need to learn.
Nintendo, you were barely in game of the year nominations all around last year. Because of that, it will lead to your companys downfall. You see Nintendo, you need the gaming media's attention and absolute loyality of forum dwellers to survive. I know your rolling your eyes right now going ""Honestly we don't care, because in the end our games sold more meaning more people actually played our game than the actual nominated one making the awards pointless.""
BUT. Your wrong Nintendo. You may just keep selling a lot of consoles and software, you may make more profit then actually rise in value on the market. But you know not winning game of the year will eat at you, slowly. Your developers will lose motivation because making that extra million is like a banana split without the cherry...sure you got a full filling desert but that little bit extra was never there. Soon you'll just give up all together leaving the market for HARDCORE gamers and letting developers getting back to making large epic games that don't make them a profit yet its ok there experessing there creativity which you tried to ROB THEM OF.
So enjoy you ivory tower for the moment Nintendo, the tied began to turn when we picked a game that wasn't on your system. Soon it'll spread....soon.
