it's also because their CEO is an asshole. In an EGM interview, he said it was the cosumers fault because they arern't buying the PS3, and if they were super behind, peope would want them to make a comeback. Did he forget about the Gamecube? It sucked, and no one wanted it Nintendo to make an awesome comeback. Well, except for the loyalists, and a few other people.

Well I do not think the Gamecube sucked and it still sold well, but compared to the PS2 it was a failure. But alot of that had to do with limited third-party support and lack of other media (like DVD, or good Internet games).

Lets not forget Nintendo, even last gen still had one upper hand, handhelds. And today Nintendo still dominates that as well. Not to mention that even last gen, Nintendo made a profit with each console sold while the Xbox and PS2 lost money with each console. That is still true today as Nintendo makes money on each Wii and Microsoft loses money on each 360 and Sony loses ALOT more with each PS3. Of course, the games get it back and more.

Do not forget, Nintendo owns the top two selling video game properties ever, Mario and (sigh) Pokemon.

what's amazing is that Nintendo makes cheaper stuff, but it's hardier and lasts longer.

Except for the DS...

They need to remodel it and make it sturdier, NOT lighter.

DW

yeah, when the original DS came out my friend went to try it at Wal-Mart and the button broke :othen they announced the liter smaller version and I'm thinking 'Oh god...' but yeah like everyone I know with a DS has a broken button, usually the shoulder buttons.

That is why I stick with the original DS and not the terrible DS Lite, but lets get back to what matters.

WE ALL WANT TO KNOW WHY VAATI (AKA AORI MEIJI) FINDS THE WII TERRIBLE AND WHY HE DESPISES IT!!!

WHY AORI MEIJI, WHY? PLEASE INFORM US!!

DW

*taps rugby on the shoulder and whispers* umm...he's not a he...he's a she....if that made any sense...

Umm... Vaati's a SHE.

Besides, I think it's just that way because it's so hard to find. And we all need to wait....

bgrugby

Fine, I would like to know why SHE despises it so much, as it has really peaked my curiosity and I would like to know.

DW

probably becasue the Wii doesn't have many good games out like the PS2, even though it has the VC and has just came out...that's why most people don't like it...besides how people call it a 'kiddy system' because of it's graphic style so it's uncool to play it...there are a lot of reasons to hate the Wii, although really they are all bull.

No no, there has to have been something for her to say, she despises it. I do not like Sony and I owned their two pathetic systems and I have no opinion about 360 but there has to be something for Vaati to despise the Wii. It had to be something that screwed her.

DW

I think it would be best to just PM her, she'll respond faster that way.

Well either way it should be posted on here, you do not say you despise someone without giving a reason. There has to be a reason.

mine works perfectally...

So, as we wait for Vaati.... we can discuss the broken DS. My DS doesnt charge. Isn't that great? It's useless, I say, useless.
