Nintendo Sell-out! Pish Posh!...?

[Kr!sP]

I posted this on Friend codes first so i may have to enlighten a bit. There was an article about Nintendo going way under in sales and a prediction of a sell-out. Just like everybody else i said they wouldn't do it, they're just going through a dry-spout of money. It happens with every console. Thing is it happens with every console a year before they begin making a new one. It's too early to see a new Nintendo Console! I still said they wouldn't sell out to another gaming company though. NEVER! but then i watched this.
YouTube - Sega Vs. Nintendo (The Fight of the Century) (i love how theirs an x-box commercial at the end lol)

Anyways, it's about in the early 90's when All there was, was Nintendo. Then Sega came out and just threw great games trying to appeal to older gamers. They had this whole strategy worked out and while they were finally tied with Nintendo they brought out sonic and had most of the gaming Community with a Sega console. A whopping 65%(which is good) Then as they were in first they didn't have to do ANYTHING but sit back but they tried harder releasing stuff. They were at the top just throwing out good games and winning, which is what Nintendo is doing NOW but throwing out BAD games. Sega tried to improve, improvment after stupid improvment while Nintendo sat back and released a couple of titles that are STILL fresh in our minds. They stuck with the SNES while Sega burnt it self out. Then what happened is Sega sold out TO Nintendo and guess what, i know people are thinking it probably won't happen but that's what they thought back then. We already got Nintendo's Rare company now affliated with Microsoft, and a little heads up Rare was a branch of the Nintendo CO. So now with Nintendo not only going through a dry spout but also doing what Sega did all they have to do is try to make a new console too early, which alot of people are predicting for some reason, and then they're out!

I think a part of the problem is still the economy. Alot of the Nintendo fanbase would buy a steaming pile of dog shyt if it was put out by Nintendo(which is kinda becoming the case) but nobdy has any money, so their safety net has a hole in it. Then they has been f***ing us(and, in turn, theirselves) by making everything appeal to the "casual gamer". I'd really like the see a definition for that word. It was kinda simple(a gamer who plays games casually), but Nintendo has added a new group of gamers(people who have no idea how to play a game in the first place!...they're all over YouTube), which they think is a good thing. However, by cutting back on all of their heavy hitters and continuing to make things nooby friendly, they have slightly raised the number of people in this new group and dramatically decreased the number of hardcore gamers they have on their side. THEY EVEN SHAFTED US IN BRAWL!!!!!!! Yes, it's a good game, but most of the time, simply holding down the A button does a non-stop combo! So I think alot of it is karma biting them in the @$$. It was bound to happen. They screwd over the group of gamers that has been growing for a decade to cater to the noobs that they have brought in during the past year.

Honestly watchin matches doesn't do much for me. If I hadn't played and felt the differences I wouldn't even have brought it up. But that's not the only game they're doing it with. Most games being put out nowawdays the hardcore gamers never even hear about, and for good reason; they aren't worth the time it takes to type their names! It's ridiculous! Next time you walk into your local game shop or department store, look at all crap in the Wii/DS section and see how many titles actually made it to an online forum. I'm not putting all the blame on Nintendo, most of this crap comes from a third party. But Nintendo keeps encouraging it!

well it's true it's not nintendo's fault they've alway only brought out 1 good game per console and 2 for the hand held per year they're still doing that but now no GOOD third party support is killing them and they're amazing games aren't as good as the classics.

That's usually the case with everything. But this time, they're duming down the games on perpose to appeal to the noobs. That's what I was saying in my last post.
