[citation][nom]fball922[/nom]Its true that the Wii has been successful from a business standpoint, but they must be careful, lest they repeat the problems that ultimately destroyed the Atari. The constant struggle going on with consoles is finding the balance between giving freedom to developers, while maintaining quality control. Nintendo seems to have removed all quality restrictions these days... Their game market is saturated with boring titles that sell only a few copies. Nintendo makes a few dollars, then its over. The problem I referenced with Atari was that their market, too, was saturated with cruddy titles that constantly failed to deliver ANYTHING (E.T. comes to mind).Nintendo isn't there yet, but that ratio of good-to-crap games is starting to get in the unacceptable range. Granted, Atari had no means to control the content, but the idea is the same.Oh, and congrats Sony. Should stop some of the hemorrhaging of cash they are going through now.[/citation]
Apparently people like to eat ****. That's why Nintendo is successful this generation. I can't believe people are falling for it again with 3DS. Release all the same old games on a handheld with a 3.5" screen that does 3D without glasses and will probably cost twice as much as a DS=win. [citation][nom]killerclick[/nom]Any idiot can put together high-end hardware, it's the easiest thing in the world. The Wii is smaller, cheaper, uses less power and sold better than the competition. How is that not good?The purpose of a product (in this case a console) is to sell, that's the only reason it's made. A product that fulfills its purpose is a good product and the fact that Wii is underpowered compared to the competition just underscores how good it is.Sorry, I can look at consoles only from a business perspective, I wouldn't be caught dead using any of them.[/citation]
Maybe you should be using Intel integrated graphics because they're cheap, easy to produce and sell so well!
