Forums - Nintendo - Have Nintendo officially won this generation?

1st Nintendo, 2nd M$, 3rd Sony...it's been obvious for a while now.

Well, it's not 100% until the end of this gen. But Nintendo isn't giving up first place so it's pretty much official.




Nintendo still doomed?
Feel free to add me on 3DS or Switch! (PM me if you do ^-^)

to air on the side of caution I would say wait till Jan 2010 to make it "official" (though we could almost positively say Wii won this generation right now)...however, I personally believe that second place is still up for grabs even though xbox has a comfortable lead right now (in the U.S. anyway)



I started making videos for youtube; check them out.

Contra (No Deaths): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_OdnbGgupM

Super C (No Deaths): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHoJrHWATgU

Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! (Mike Tyson TKO): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4L7oDV79aw

Systems owned: Atari 2600, NES(3), Top loader NES, Yobo NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, Sega Gamegear, Sega Nomad, Sega Saturn, Nintendo 64, Gamecube, Playstation 2, Wii, PS3 (slim 120 GB), Wii U

You should congratulate me. I destroyed the vile red falcon and saved the universe. I consider myself a hero.

The console industry costs a lot to enter nowadays. Without a bank account like M$ has, it's going to be pretty difficult for any company to penetrate this industry now except someone exits (unlikely). Sega doesn't have funds, reputation or innovation working in it's favor.

There is no "official" in terms of who sells the most in a generation, it is basically being used a marketing speech to say that logically: The PSP is not going to outsell the DS and neither PS3 nor 360 will catch the Wii.

It's too early to call this generation. Wii is in decline and may still fall from the top spot. 360 will sell less than the PS3 for sure. My predictions are in my sig.

I know I'm just dreaming....

I appreciate the strict semantics TWRoO, I realize that the finer points of language, such as the actual meaning of a word is not paramount to the function of a game sales related web site, but I still appreciate your attention to these things none the less.
