Nintendo Domination

DragonFireOKN · Sep 21, 2007 12:26 AM

OK, no one can deny that nintendo is flat out killing all competition, when will it end?

Handheld dominance for 18 years is extremely impressive and gameboy and nintendo ds have been eliminating all who dare challenge them (atari,sega,sony) even sony's mighty psp or apples ipod can outsell nintendo handhelds. will nintendo go unchallenged forever, who can stop them??????

200 posts BTW.

It's only cause there cheaper, I mean like in australia when PS3 was $999 WII was like $400 or something, DS and PSP is the same.
But Sony and microsoft consoles are better.
Wii's are SOOO hard to play.

Yeah and I heard that they break easily too.

warrior_juggalo · Sep 21, 2007 1:38 AM

They feel cheap also, I hate Wii with a passion.

"Wii would like to play"

"Wii, want you to leave, now!"

warrior_juggalo · Sep 21, 2007 3:20 AM

I don't like Wii, Geez, Calm down buddy, By the way, Who is we?, Or should i say Wii, It look's to me as if your on your own, I think the percentage of people here don't like Wii.
I could be wrong but i think "Wii, Would not like to play."

Fungeek · Sep 21, 2007 3:28 AM

That's what I was getting at. That's just what the guys on the commercials say (The first part) and how I would react to it. (Second part). I despise the Wii!;)

warrior_juggalo · Sep 21, 2007 3:29 AM

Oh lol, I thought you where saying you want me to leave lol, Sorry.

whats with the wii control anyway?
but i still like nintendo but i like Playstation better, alot
XBOX sucks for me

So? I don't care if the Wii is a cheaper option or has a different control scheme; the fact is that when I get one, I'm going to like their game selection a LOT more than what Sony and Microsoft would come up with together on their consoles. Plus, Gamecube backwards compatability gives them a jump start as well when you have the urge to replay any oldies. tongue

DragonFireOKN · Sep 21, 2007 8:07 PM

Ok lets not turn this into an arguement, i meant CAN ANYONE create a console that can beat a nintendo handheld, i mean ds is about to pass the Super Nintendo and thats incredible can anyone stop them. it is obvious that psp cannot catch up and its the only competion, wii, even if it isnt as great is making nintendo millions, microsoft has lost 5 BILLION on xbox sony is losing 350 dollars on each ps3 sold. we might be entering another nintendo era, i mean it has the most impressive line up other than ps3, Super Smash Bros. Brawl will outsell Halo 3, Super Mario Galaxy, Metriod Prime 3, Mario and Sonic at the olympic games, Wii fit, wii music, and mariokart wii.

Rexy · Sep 21, 2007 8:51 PM

While I would support most of your argument, my idea of a more "impressive" line-up is a lineup that isn't primarily dominated by franchises started in the 1980s (Mario, Metroid, Zelda, etc). That's why I evaded the GameCube like the plague.

DragonFireOKN · Sep 21, 2007 9:46 PM

I see your point rexy, but my point is that even though they need new francises they are on a path to reclaim their former glory, and no one seems to be able to stop them. Nintendo is the only game company that survived over the years (atari was defeated by sony, and sega was defeated by sony) nintendo has already surpassed the xbox 360 in sales as of august 23rd and 360 was released ahead of wii by a year, this holiday nintendo of america says and unpredecented amont of wii's will flood the market this holiday season, wii sales will skyrocket, my question is if anyone can stop them, 360 and ps3 are being flattened by wii sales worldwide (8-1 ratio) if anyone can who will?

Rexy · Sep 22, 2007 12:58 AM

My reasoning for this seems to be that the games for the GameCube seem to cater for a wider audience. Heck, not even the PlayStation lineup seems to be as "mainstream" as it once were, at least at this moment in time. And let's not forget it also gets a headstart with backwards compatability with ALL GameCube games, so that means a wider library right from the offset.

*cough*ps2, ps1 *cough*

Fungeek · Sep 22, 2007 1:45 AM

Smooth, not.

I really don't think that they're going to stop being the unstopable force on the gaming field for a while now. If someone does manage to sdo so, they'd have to be able to take down a company with over a decade of experience. Which in itself is an imense feat.

ratchet · Sep 22, 2007 2:27 AM

yeah i like alot of nintendo games

I don't know if US PS3s can play all PS1 and PS2 games, but I know that we PAL players are a lot worse off in that department.

warrior_juggalo · Sep 22, 2007 11:36 AM

Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo have all made new systems but what about Sega, They have not released anything since the dreamcast.......
I recone they will bust out with a new console in the next year and cause they would have learned from Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3, Hopfully there console will blow them all out of the water........

Hopfully (:)

Fungeek · Sep 22, 2007 7:08 PM

Umm, how to say this. Sega has.... kind... fallen from the ranks. Their ideas ARE being continued, just by other companies. They aren't going to suddenly come back with a new system

Sorry I had to break that to ya, but it's true. sad

DragonFireOKN · Sep 23, 2007 10:37 PM

Sega is dead as a manufacturer there will be no more sega consoles, dreamcast just couldnt compete with ps2. Dreamcast was doomed

The dream is over for Sega

*bleep*, Let's have a minute in silence for Sega.
I would have loved to see a new Alex The Kid, Alex The Kid on sega megadrive was so good.

DragonFireOKN · Sep 24, 2007 1:33 AM

Dreamcast was a great console but it never stood a chance because of some factors...
1. Playstation 1 and new ps2.
2. Sega Saturn's failure
3. Sega 32x, cdx and, sega cd failures.
4. Bad reptutation with 3rd party developers
5. no dvd player

= doomed dreamcast dreamcast could have been great, it was better than its competetors and the first to go online. Sadly there will never again be a console called the Sega Infinty or anything else....
