Really Nintendo just made one HUGE mistake when they decided not to make a CD platformed console with N64. Thats just it really. Sony just rode off of that success and into what it is today.
To me however Xbox's only REAL strength is online play. The other games so far are...well nice titles but nothing really that makes you wanna get an Xbox over the other consoles next to maybe DoA and Halo(its not enough though..just 2 i mean). If anything done right, i feel Xbox did for online play.
PS however is just more deals with people, more third party developers doesnt mean that Sony made a gem or anything its just that they got good buisness negoiations for those that actually made the gems. However their games as of late are just doing similiar formula's of success, in which there is very little that stands out as innovation besides the Eye Toy which wasnt that popular..although it was a step.
Now Nintendo i feel focused alot more on game quality at least on what they make themselves, and usually they do use a Zelda or Mario game and try something new all the time. Like the C Stick usage..sorta like how the N64 tried to push their games forward with the Z Button(which i thought was TOTALLY awesome). Nintendo lacks third party support for the most part, however they do, for just about every single first party game, try something new and make something as lame as Mario Tennis (conceptually) into something really fun(and i dont play sport games, and instead of that sweaty grunting hardcore sport feel, i feel i am playing a VIDEO GAME for once *nostalgic feel*). Seems just about every game they do they try at least treading a little new water and i feel thats good. The GBA however helps mantain the classic style of play too and i like that, and i hope all handhelds will keep that SNES golden days intact(2-D platformers..and other 2-D games MUST LIVE ON!).
I ono just rambling here, personally i feel Nintendo as a game maker and company is much more competent, just lacking support from other developers that would try to use their innovative tools. Sony IMO just rode off the fault Nintendo made and never really do much i feel that is noteworthy as a company besides maybe introduce Everquest. MS needs to be broken down, they did nothing besides test out the waters and popularity of online play which i THINK wasnt that great in asian countries. >_>;
.....Mac forever!!!! <3
AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW DO I STOP THIS???!!!
Don't. People are enjoying this thread. Or become a recognized member: they can close their own threads. But good luck on THAT. It'll be a considerable length of time, this thread will have sank into obscurity by then.Quote:

Unfortunately, their golden age was the SNES- all downhill from their.
Sony, they do alright. They play the game smarter than Sega did, but they're playing EXACTLY the same game. Demanding exclusivity contracts.... which is what buried Sega, really. Sony's pretty cutthroat, in comparison to other console marketing. But they got all the best games in the last 6 years or so.
As for X-box.... I swear Bill Gates won't be happy until he owns everything electronic on this planet. Seriously. The man is greedy to the point of insanity.
Well, now that I've been learning a little more about the next gen. consoles, there is a chance that Nintendo will pull back into the game. The Xbox 360 is going to be a VERY expensive system (I forgot the exact price, but it will be much higher than the Xbox when it was first released.) and, supposedly, the games are going to be seventy dollars. I haven't heard too much about the PS3, but from what I know, the console itself won't be too much less. Now, I don't know about anyone else here, but I'm not exactly the richest guy in town, and I really don't want to buy an expensive system and then pay seventy dollars for just one game. The Nintendo Revolution, however, is suppose to be far less expensive for both the system and the games. This may make people go for the less expensive system. Then again, it was the same when the Gamecube came out, and it didn't do so well. But this is slightly different, because now the systems are even more expensive.
This was my personal experience when I was about to buy my PS2
Nitendo-I heard bad thing about GameCube, so I was a little iffy about it. Though Nitendo has Zelda, which I love. Plus Nitendo always have these cool fun games, or so that is my experience.
PS2-FINAL FANTASY!!! Also the fact that it was a DvD player
Xbox-Meh, nothing attractive. Most of its games were not my type.
Saying that, I got a PS2, but if FF was on Nitendo, I would have bought it with in a heartbeat. In all honesty, I really want to get a N 64 so I can play the games that I missed, like the Zelda ones, and Smash Brothers, etc... So maybe in the near fututre I will buy a second hand one for a reasonable price...*coughs* 50$ CDN *coughs**thinks more*...Maybe Christmas this year...*has a list of N64 games that he loved, eventhough he never had a N64, but played it at various places*
So since I grew up with NES, and such Nitendo will always have a special place in my heart.
My favorite memory while gaming: I was playing Mario Party at a friend's, and I was using Peach. I won a mini-game and went, "Who's the woman, I am the woman!"
EDIT: Considering what Lindy said, I want to play Pokemon Stadium too.
man, im like the only person i know that thinks cartidges are better, they are so durable, a disc, 1 bad scratch and its garbage, like 50 bucks down the holeQuote:

also overall nintendo should win, its got the most age friendly games, games fun for all ages, its usually multiplayer based, its got history with a lot of die hard nintendo fans, and its got its classic games that it keeps dragging out to no end, but in their case thats not a bad thing seeing as everytime they make a new one its a big success, and they have been around and survived so long that they probably know what people want and how to do things right, but unfourtunately there is the majority of people who are just all about violence, sex, storts, ect who will go for xbox or ps cuz thats what those systems do, and those are the systems that go for online play.
Anyone who thinks that Nintendo games are for kids is a moron.
Hey guys, you're already playing video games, refusing to play a game with colours and a cheerful theme isn't going to make you any less of a dork than you already are.
Being able to play a game purely because it's fun and you enjoy it, looking beyond what anyone might view as "kiddy" is far more mature than just thinking "lol gunz n violence is teh matoor!".
Get over yourselves.
Couldn't have said it better myself. :pQuote:

I'll be honest, I much prefer Nintendo Classic (NES) to the newer Nintendos I love the original FF's as well, but theres something about Sony games <3
In the long run i do agree that in general the cart can and probably will last longer than the CD/DVD. However that doesnt mean that its very expensive to make games for carts and its very limited in technology. If there was a choice i also prefer carts, because for one theres no load time, and most importantly....you cant mooch money off memory cards(which for some godforsaken reason is not included in the console when you buy it..not even a 2MB card or something). But so far, there IS a reason why we use discs and not carts for console these days.Quote:

That and whatever happened to including one game with your console? That hella rocked with my SNES.
*reads more* you guys got a point *nods head*
