Here is the deal:
Nintendo took over the markey toward the end of the 80s because people got hooked up Mario and Zelda. A lot of other games, also, but the exclusive Zelda and mario franchise went strong...
the SMS was great but it had poor, poor, POOR advertisement and it was 'cool' to have a "Nintendo".
the problem is..... We who bought the Nintendo to bounce Mario around are adults now. and thee Playstation started going more adult..... now look, the ps2 is like _ths system). (and the xbox) the gamecube is great but they have got to start some new games and SOON.
i almost gaurantee if they'd make grittier games they'd pick up sales some..
and never forget the n64........ face it, the system is nice but it was horrible in it's on right:
1) the controller reeked
2) cartridge games are too fucking expensive
3) kiddy games only (besides, what 10 titles?)
Sega fell cuz instead of pushing games they pushed medicore systems until they finally got it right (DC) when they had lost so much dough.
think: they had
SMS, Sega-Genises, 293929 ad on systems, then the Sega Saturn which i love but d a m n it's bugier than Micrsoft. i don't know how many times i've lost data on the SS just because it got bored or something. the dreamcast was great but they slit their throat years ago and by the time they got to the DC they ran out of blood.
Nintendo can hold on if they stick with Quality and quit doing stupid shit, like making the GBA almost impossible to see.............
PS: all apologies if some of the post looks yucky. i am very very tired.
PPS: Metroid Prime is possible the best 3d action game ever.
