Thread: The Fate of Nintendo

As much as I would like to, I will exent from starting a flame war. Say whatever you think, I'm not going to partcipate in this discussion this way anymore. Since you obviously are as hard-headed about the subject as I am.

P.S. Sega? They never had a chance to begin with.

With the end of the current generation in sight we have Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo in the order, there's a large gap between Sony and Microsoft respectively. Those are the facts, look 'em up, your mighty Nintendo lost to a NEWCOMER that enters the race with a not that great business reputation. Nintendo was in dead last, and their so called "revolution" is once again rehashing their old library of when people excepted less from games, there was less competition, and they could provide entertainment to all age groups. You wanna know why no specs on the revolution were released? it's probably because with X360's and PS3's stats fresh off they press they didn't wanna be instantly written off.

This is life, live with it fanboy. Nintendo's heading down the path of Sega.

Thanks, I was starting to get tired of his losing battle of wits with gig anyway.

More fun to stir up controversy than read boring one-sided conversations anyway.

True, but next time use more real facts, that way you won't be seen as another "I think I know it all, but know nothing at all" fanboy. I respect your commitment to nintendo after all that has happened. Just let me ask you a question....if there was only sony and microsoft left, which would you choose?(remember, I used the word if, meaning this wont be considered as a real situation that might happen)

its on IGN somewhere, not sure which article as I've read a lot the last 3 days. I never really thought of it as the "weakest" but they said graphics wise it was

listen man if there is one thign i realized its that with time the graphic output on the ps2 evolved. i mean initially the games graphics were not super impressive but towards the end of the lifecycle of the console [ now ] you start seeing things that you never expected possible on a ps2 or even an xbox. its because the developers finally have a superflous understanding of the hardware after developing for it for over 2 years. so i wouldn't really say ps is the weakest in graphics. and wasn't resident evil a pre-rendered type of evironment so i'm really not that impressed.

Of course, everyone knows that. The same applies to the gamecube so it's not just one system that grows in graphical power.

and wasn't resident evil a pre-rendered type of evironment so i'm really not that impressed.

Resident Evil four is not at all pre-rendered. It's fully 3-d. That's why I brought it up(because it shows how graphically better the gamecube is than the ps2). If you need proof, go to IGN.com.
