Seriously?......

Yes, because the NES had motion controls

@ NightstrikerX - Thank you for making my point. I wasn't gonna bother, but I'm glad someone did.

I'm just saddened it had to come to that. The end result is the same, Sony has outsold nintendo on home consoles. Even if you include the NES and SNES. But Nintendo has outsold Sony on handheld consoles. And if you include the two console systems together. Nintendo has outsold sony all together. Give credit where credit is due. Don't change around numbers to shift your perspective on things. If I was to say console wars for the last 4 years. Who would win in home consoles? Nintendo. It's easy to shift around the numbers to make it look like your side is winning or losing and by how much. But in the end, credit goes where credit is due.

Sony and Nintendo have done remarkable things. I'm glad that they are adopting Motion technology alongside Microsoft. It means that between the competition of the three companies. A product that's truly superior will be fleshed out. In the end. Which is what impacts us, the consumers the most.

Yeah, I think he is serious ... but he is also wrong.

If it wasn't for the fact that the Yamauchi family holds a controlling share of Nintendo, Microsoft might be able to buy Nintendo because Microsoft's market cap is (roughly) 5 times Nintendo's and the purchase of Nintendo would represent three years of Microsoft's profit; they don't have the cash on hand, but their profits would enable them to get a bond sold to purchase Nintendo.

Sony (in contrast) has a market cap of (roughly) 80% of Nintendo, they are an unprofitable company, and Nintendo's market cap represents close to 100 years of Sony's recent profitable years.

It will be interesting to watch what happens over the next couple of years though, if Nintendo can really have two living platforms with over 100 Million users their Market Cap and profits could be over half of Microsoft's ...

Yes, you did say most consoles. And I said that looking at console sales exclusively is cherrypicking when you are talking about which videogame company is the greatest. And even if you go along with your weird 15 year time frame and console only view, it's still easy to make the case that Sony's successful consoles were made possible by the work and innovation of Nintendo.

To be honest, it feels a little surreal to even have to debate if Nintendo is a greater videogame company than anybody else. As I said, look at the games and the cultural impact, sales impact, whatever and it's beyond me to think that there's people who can pretend that there's ever been a greater videogame company than Nintendo. Unless you're using 'greatest' in the meaning 'biggest in size' and comparing the videogame company Nintendo, to the two megacooporations Sony and Microsoft. In that case you would technically be correct I guess, but that is a dishonest use of the term 'greatest videogame company'.

Eyetoy for the ps2.

Ps eye for the ps3.

Those are both before the wiis.

The wand was patented before the wii mote was shown off
and the sixaxis was shown at the same time as the wiis.


This is their 4th motion controller. The issue with sony is that they expect third partys to take advantage of these things instead of making games for them themselves. That's been the problem for a long time actually.

i know he's wrong...i was just wondering if he realized what he posted.

Yes. But the powerglove was made by mattel :p

So youre saying nintendo is copying mattel ?

Yeah, but its ok, it was on a nintendo system first
