Forums - Nintendo - If Nintendo had Sony's and Microsoft's arrogance...

Nintendo were extremely arrogant with the N64 and got murdered by the PS1, these kinds of things cause cockiness to die down quite alot. It's like Sony now with the PS3, they got so arrogant and paid for it. Success causes arrogance, I remember a pretty famous picture of Kaz with a powerpoint at the back saying "the console war is over"........because it truly was.

Next generation Nintendo MIGHT not be number one, I think they have learnt enough to know that being arrogant is going to bite you back in the ass one time or another. Reggie took a snap at Sony during GTTV because he can, anything changes and Sony will be on him like a bunch of rabid dogs.

They were as arrogant as kaz hirai. Remember the N64?

I doubt they would be that dumb to fall on that again.



Why do nintenboys think nintendo is jesus?



I had both a Playstation and N64 I loved them both.



They definitely have been more tasteful in their PR this generation, but that doesn't take into account past arrogance.

 

Reggie is arrogant, but in a non-confrontational way. He only made that snipe at Sony because he was prompted to say something, and what he said wasn't all that bad (just said he couldn't say anything nice. Not exactly the worst of insults)



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

They are accumulating that level of arrogance. Please don't make Nintendo out to be above corporate b.s., becasue they're not. Reggie sounds pretty arrogant to me lately.

Shigeru Miyamoto is Jesus reincarnated. Don't you know anything?

actually Nintendo is more like the Holy Ghost, Shigeru Miyamoto is god, and Reggie is jesus :)



Currently dreaming of: DKC4 or Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (classic 2D platformers) for WiiWare, Smash Bros. for DSi, New Super Mario World for DSi, a Wii remake or true sequel of Final Fantasy Tactics.

One down, hopefully more awesomeness to come.

i would say they do...possibly even well surpassing both other companies put together.
