People say Nintendo are "falling behind" ect...
but what people don't know, is Nintendo are actualy #1 and are ahead of Sony and Microsoft. Nintendo, being as smart as they are make there systems and games to produce and great experiance but also generate helthy profits. Sony and Microsoft, do the exact opposite, they build a machine that is overly expensive and has a very repetative range of games, eg racing / shooting. |
I hate to burst your bubble but...
World wide sales figures
Current as of January 2006:
Sega Dreamcast: 11 Million
Nintendo GameCube: 20.61 Million
Microsoft Xbox: 23 Million
Sony PlayStation 2: 100 Million
| Quote: | | lets put aside handhelds for a moment, and let me tell you guys something... PS3 is estimated to COST $900usd to get out on shelfs, that would mean the console could cost $1000 or more. |
Yeah I mentioned it'd be pricey to say the least. That's rediculasly expensive, their sales will be nill if they keep jacking their prices up.
| Quote: | | The "Nintendo is a Kiddy console" is complete crap, Because people just say that without even glancing at Gamecube, if that was the case would Resident Evil 0,1,2,3,4 and X (All MA15+) be available on it? Or what about Geist (MA15+), True Crime: Streets Of LA (MA15+), True Crime: Street Of New York (MA15+), people just go around saying "Mario is so Kiddy" blah blah blah, have these people even played a Mario game? They apeal to kids, but man...they are fucking hard games! They are not easy, I say to myself alot of the time "how the fuck is a kid supposed to figure that out" Example: Paper Mario, my #2 Gamecube game is totaly awesome, but It's not an easy game...the final boss is a bitch to beat! |
When I say kiddy system I mean that because most of the games that are strictly released by Nintendo are generally a children's genre gaming. While it's true they do have M rated games, those can all be found on the other systems too, with better graphics.
| Quote: | | Another example of stupid Marketing is Microsoft with there 360 and the fact that "omg...It's wireless" Gamecube has been wireless since lauch, all you do is buy a wavebird controller. Another thing is, Nintendo had the wireless technology back in 1985. If you do a google search, you will find pics of wireless controllers they made that were never produced they are on display at Nintendo World in New York City. (Pic available HERE quote from related pic: "They also had a Nintendo Advanced Video System (AVS) prototype, which blew my mind. This was their vision for an Americanized version of the Famicom, but someone apparently realized that 20 years would have to pass before the world was ready for a home console with wireless controllers." source: http://www.nintendorks.com/johnny/archives/001317.php) |
I'm not denying wireless isn't new to the 360. But it comes standard with the controllers, no required extras to buy. It seems to be a common feature for the next-gen consoles, but I decided to add it because it is a really sweet feature.
| Quote: | | The thing that ticks me off is the PS2 system is crap, it breaks usally after having it for 2 years, it can scratch discs and totaly ruin them because of porr design, and the laser gets miss-aligned so easily. When you look at a Nintendo system I never hear of these stories, in fact they have insane "test" videos on You Tube of people smashing there consoles to peices, and Gamecube is the one that always survives. |
I couldn't agree more, PS2 = crap.

Are you kidding me? My PS2 has withstood the test of time! I got mine when they first came out, and have dropped it on several occasions, and it still works perfectly. Maybe yours break after 2 years, but what exactly do you do with your Ps2, that'd lead it to break so quickly? Anyways, on to handhelds.
Nintendo: Well, what can i say, I was always one of the people who always had to get every style and version of the gb, gbc, and gba, but then I sold them all. Why? Well, I bought them for a few main reasons:\
Final Fantasy Adventure
Final Fantasy Legends 1-3
Legacy of Goku 1-2
Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories
thats it. Now, the DS is out, and well.... its crap X_X. Lets break it down shall we? Two screens... well, this I will admit is a good idea, but the practicality of its uses at times are pointless. The stylist; molesting is good, NOT. If I really wanted to draw while playing a video game, then I'd take out a pen and draw on some paper while playing a game. The blow/speach thingy. Good ideas, but not so good for public use. Backwards cabibility with GBA; good idea. And finally, the size and bonus uses... well, to big to put in your pocket, and it aint got much going on other then that... wel ok, it can get online now, but its a little late for that. Oh yea, almost forgot the games... preatty much, the complaints I had for the system, goes for the handhelds as well, for all they have, very little is good.
PSP: The true handled of the ages! This thing is so useful! Where to start? The games. So many good games! We got MKD coming over, there is Twisted Metal Head on, Dynasty Warriors was a nice port, Cant wait to get my hands on Shin Budokai, and so much more. Now the look. Looks and feels like a ps2 controler, only with a screen, and 3 less buttons (R2 L2, and R3/right stick) It fits well in my pockets, and is great. Next, the other uses. SO MANY! YOu can watch movies, listen to music, and share photos. PLUS, if you have a fully downgraded PSP, you can get homebrews and hacks for it so you can do so much more! A pure sign of greatness.

You mean the controller Sony copied off the SNES design, then copied the analouge sticks and without permission used somebody else's rumble technology without permission and is now in court over it?
see here: PS2 Lawsuit

Yes Nintendo did come out with analogue controls, then guess who changed their controller design VERY quickly after the 64 one came out??

My my what a boring game collection you have!!  Only Mario Sunshine is worth playing...no wonder you dont like it, you have bad taste, not the system/companies fault!

Im pretty sure TMK was talking about profits per console, and its well known that GC actually made more PROFIT than XBOX and PS2 last gen.
Now lets not get excited here, i ment Nintendo is profiting more than Microsoft's Xbox division and Sony's PS division. Not as WHOLE companies as well all know how rich M$ is...and well Sony, Atari corp could probably buy and sell them on a whim right now...LOL
| VainZiler wrote: | | Now, the DS is out, and well.... its crap X_X. Lets break it down shall we... |
Well i do hate a system full of exclusive and innovative games...i also hate games that rate so highly on reviews...big pet peeve of mine... 
Looks like you are in the minority with that, have you even seen how amazingly well the DS is selling worldwide?? Im talking about "Sony's SHIPPING numbers" here, im talking about actual sales, i know Sony dosent like to talk about that...LOL 
| VainZiler wrote: | | PSP: The true handled of the ages! This thing is so useful! Where to start? The games. So many good games! |
The games you've listed are PORTS, and sony has announced a new way to play even more ports on the PSP with the PSX emulator...sounds GREAT!
As for playing movies and MP3's...hello IPODs...oh and:
UMD Movies for PSP Now on Endangered Species List
The PSP is now an industry-wide JOKE....i should know, im in the industry. Enjoy your PORTS my friend...oh what happend to that GTA exclusive game you had? I see its on its way to PS2 at a reduced price too! YAY!
Oh and some interesting reading:

I still love how every person I've talked to that has bashed xBox never really tried it. And then when they did, they completely changed their mind.
As for my PS2, I took completely good care of it, and it died THREE times. I have been taking my xBox everywhere, and it;s been roughed up like crazy. No problems, not one. The xBox has better graphics than the PS2, and many of the same games. As far as the controller goes, you can't argue about the bulky controller. Why? because they released the S-type. The only problem with that model is the black and white buttons. And lack of games? You're joking. You must be, because:
BLACK
Call of Duty
Fable
GTA
Half-Life 2
Halo 1 and 2, which were not crap by any means. And if you're saying that based solely off of single player, then you have absolutely no arguement.
Manhunt
Max Payne 1 and 2
Medal of Honor series, which is much easier to play on the xBox
Need for Speed
NINJA GAIDEN BLACK
Star Wars Battlefront
Star Wars KOTOR I and II
Star Wars Episode III
Thief: Deadly Shadows
Ghost Recon
Rainbow Six
Splinter Cell
Tony Hawk
And that's only some of them! But hey, I guess since they're on the xBox, they suck right? Shame.

I was talking profit margins, not sales. MS and Sony have sold more consoles, however they are not making profits. Sony also are very shifty with there sales reports, they say things like "We shipped 5 million PSP's in the first week of release" shipping doesn't mean, selling...they munipulate the media any way possible.

I have an X-Box, A ps2 and a Gamecube so I consider my opinion to be one of the more valid ones here and the xbox the biggest waste of money for me ever. It is so crap. The only good game I have played for it was Shaolin Monks, and thats out on the ps2 now. Oh and about that over-rated piece of crap that xbox has as it's only saving grace is pathetic.....but but, look at the graphics...I hear you cry. Guess what....graphics aren't all what a game is about and the sooner Mircosoft figure this out the better, they might actuall put a playable game out then.

the ps2 version of MK-SM in the uk at lest has NO mk2 to unlock
I'm a sega N nintendo fan boy 2.
but of course there is reason for this Quolity systems like the saturn N64 dreamcast & NGC they run till remove every screw and then some. example[ take a trip down momery lane with me]
my friend who traind me to the gaming level i'm at today also had a saturn [from release] 1 xmas the ofical mag gave a free copy of xmas knights away [a grate game that interracterd with the callender and clock] it did not come with a case however, so it got scratched and then when his yonger brother got it, it snaped. we went to the game shop in our town and the owner said he couldn't get us another one [no 1 copyed games back then] he taped it together and it fucking loaded true it did crash a few time after that but hay i am still shoked 2day.
plus sony have a good con going THE SYSTEM BRAKES you need a new 1 [more salles] BUT IT ALSO scratches your games - you need new 1's [more game salles]

I have all three as well son, so take a seat.
Funny, Deception was on all three consoles, and looked better on the xBox. But by your logic, Deception isn't a great game, since looks aren't everything. The PS2 has had many probles, there's a lack of games for the gamecube, so xBox wind in my eyes.

Meh, each to their own. As long as Nintendo still has Mario Kart and many other Mario titles, they will win in my eyes!

As long as nintendo has games like Zelda,Mario,Metroid,and games like Super Smash Bros they do pretty well so far zelda twilight princess has been in like every top ten anticipated game of the year and in nintendo power and many other magazines like that Zelda has been number one. And On Tech TV zelda won best game series. Zelda Windwaker got number 2 game of the year on some show on G-4.
so i figure as long as nintendo sticks to theese tytles and new ones they will do pretty good!

I play MK:DA and MK:D on all systems, and Gamecube is the winner out of all them, the graphics are so much sharper than X-Box and PS2.
I can't wait to play the next Paper Mario game :DDD
