Good article but I think your logic isn't base on sound judgement. This article gives the impression Nintendo fans are too smart for everyone else and have an elitist attitude. Everyone wants good quality games.
What's the sales number of N64's or Gamecube console. That to me would be a good indicator of about how many hardcore Nintendo fans there really are out there or maybe less.
Look at the sales of the WII U and it launch with Nintendo land a...
Quoting Nintendo," we don't want to make the same mistake as we did with the gamecube so were giving the 3DS a massive price cut."
It looks like they need to do the same with the Wii U. Wait for some good titles about to come out and then give the system a price cut.
As far as Nintendo getting out of the console bussiness. Not going to happen anytime soon. They are a smart, well run company with a very successful handheld and plenty of money.

:)It's a case of 'Follow the money"
What a lot of people probably don't know is that Jamie Kleen has worked for EA before.
Not that I'm partial to EA, but a nice coup neverless.
EA must of liked what Jamie was doing with the driving in Fry Cry 3.
Nintendo wanted the Wii U to be a smash hit and it's just not happening. After christmas, sales have tanked. But to say Nintendo's is finish is premature at best. Nintendo has too much cash on hand plus there handheld is selling well.
Nintendo is a very smart and well run company. How old is mario?? Yet, mario is still making money for them. Now compare that to Sega's sonic the hedgehog and Playstation crash banticoot.
Personally, I serious doubt...
Played Shenmue 2 on my xbox. It did come out as an xbox exclusive. That game was awesome with great graphics. Too bad it didn't sell well enough(about 400,000) for Shenmue 3 to be made. Would not have heisitated to buy it.
Nintendo does have the money to make this game with Sega. But I agree with the other comment that it would have to be on multi- platform to be profitable.
Definitely a game Nintendo could use right now!
They might pull a Sony and just show the controller & specs lol
I don't think it would hurt for MS to give us a little info that's accurate.
Microsoft is no Sega. Look what they have done to Sonic.
Sony will come out on top, then MS, then the Wii U.
Sony has come back strong with the PS3 and are on the right track with the PS4.
MS is looking strong. Have to wait to get all the facts in on next720 but it should be good.
Nintendo's Wii U is going to be another Gamecube, N64 in sales.
They need and can afford a price cut.
Sure Sony is a powerhouse and have there hands in a lot of things and I bet one of them is the media. And the playstation brand has been a huge success worldwide. Heck, I can remember seeing that grey console on the shelf going up against Nintendo and Sega at my local store. People back then thought, what is Sony thinking, trying to complete against the likes of Nintendo and Sega, that's just foolhardy, there going to get kill! Well we all know what has happen since.
MS i...
Here's hoping the gameplay is nothing like Unchartered. I know I can't be the only one who thought that game was overrated. Sure it had it's moments were it look pretty, but it also had it moments when it look like it came straight out of super nes and less not forget your on a rail system, it does your jumps for you,hard to die(you get shot at a lot and nothing happens, you shoot once and there dead) and it has small close up environments. It had it's moments with the story a...
Hey Erik, I see you and Sony have something in common, " Over hyping their console". Sony does it to promote their console business. Your just gullible and got suck into their mega hype machine about how much better PS4 is compare to the Next720 and a gaming pc. And you did fess up with an update, so kudos to you.
Great news for the next gen games
I like how MS is holding there cards close to there chest and waiting for the right time. Sony not showing there console, just a controller, raise a few eyebrows with a lot of people.
I wonder if Sony is taking a page out of Sun Tzu "Art of War" with "Your move first MS" Classic!
I predicted the Wii U won't sell nearly as well as Nintendo hope it will until you see a price cut much like the 3DS massive price cut.
This could be true. With the hardware,ram,size of the harddrive and newly designed controller come into play. Sony really can't afford to take such a big hit on the console with there present financial status and stiff competition from MS.
I wouldn't be surprise if N720 costs are similiar. I think core gamers are more than willing to pay the asking price with the specs mention. Then as the costs are reduced the price will eventually comes down for everyone else.
Hahaha Majang's Daniel Kaplan says- "confusion from Sony's side" NO,not likely. Nothing misleading here, it's just straight out lying. Kinda gives creedence to Jonathan blow flat out lying too about Sony's payout now doesn't it. No surprise here. This is typical Sony behaviour and all the Sbot's out there are just like them. And you wonder why the gaming community despise all Sony fanboys.
For a long time there I had this site peg as a paid S...
No one has seen or heard the final specs for the next720. So wait(which will come soon enough) to get all the facts before rushing to judgement.
Is MS perfect in everything, no. Do they make mistakes, yes, but so does Sony.
When $ony plan to charge $600 for there new system and at the same time tell you how grateful you should be. Where were all you fanboys then. $ony corporation was giving you 4 gigs memory and you were very happy with that. MS force there h...
Reading this it's easy to see Jonathan Blow is piss at MS and at the same time kissing up to Sony with his comments.
If you prefer Sony over the other consoles fine, it's your right, but to stoop low and bash MS when it's just as capable to run his game,just shows he's a control freak and is holding a grudge.
Sony of course is capitalizing on this and making his game a timed exculsive.
Xbox live gold cards are on sale thru out the year. Best Buy has it for $34.99 and Amazon usually price matches it or vise- versa.
Thats $3 a month for excellent online gaming experience people.
Heck. you probably drop off your rented dvd/blu-ray late at least once a month.
But with Sony and Nintendo(Big question mark?) finally catching up or coming close with free online service. I do think MS has to think about that next gen.
True some 3rd party games are boring and rehashed. A lot of people wait till the game is discounted before buying.
Poor sales could also mean nintendo fans have brought another console so as to play the good 3rd party games.
