Disney vs Universal, Nintendo vs Sony

I'm afraid you got the wrong meaning out of this. Nintendo has always stressed it's focus is games not hardware. This is why they did not include DVD playback and a hard drive ETC. They have always said GC is a GAME machine not something full of features.

"The new Nintendo head reiterated that the firm would not jump directly into the online market -- that it was too early to tell if such a model could prove profitable."

This is what they mean by new hardware. They do not mean to say they're dropping out of the buisness. Hardware does not necessarily mean a new system.

Fraid my interpretation was more accurate than you want to admit. They specifically say that with Multi-million companies entering and backing systems they may have no alternative but to dedicate to games only. GC may not be the last, but they did say that there desire is to no longer to try and keep making new game systems unless they can offer a major improvement and overall more fun to the system gaming experience. They feel that games are their strong point and it is getting tougher to compete with companies who can afford to spend major money and still lose profit it their product flopped. Nintendo has to succeed if they come out with a new system, look at Dreamcast. To Sega and Nintendo, systems and games are vital income.

Now Inc, you are spreading rumors, lies and other propaganda. The Nintendo press confrence said that they will be focasing their tallent on games, because WHY WOULD THEY RELEASE A NEW SYSTEM ONE YEAR LATTER! If it's money, what about the Game Boy Advance. Sold over 6.5 million units in a year, same as PS2, with a greater profit margin. So the GBA can support the GCN.

No need to worry folks, Nintendo's words have been twisted.

Please don't attack members like this....your post has been reported to Steve...thank you.

Plus, Now Inc did spread rumors. I don't like it. Just like you and spamers.

First off..flame me again..and you will regret it...please try to remember that most of us here have higher education and to resort to name callling will just lead to your dissapearence...

second...

Im only stating what I read....i never said it was 100% true. I know its hard for you to understand that seeing how you are obviously a militant nintendo fan..and for that i must say...my condolences...some of us actually dont let video games run our lives. I never said they were completly dropping out of the console market..I stated it was DISCUSSED. I also never said they would stop making games..you came up with that one on your own....and you accuse ME of twisting words...wow...

And with that..i must say...another thread bites the dust...

Hey, if you don't like it, I won't do it again, sorry. Trust me video games don't run my life. Second, every five years a new system comes along. That's why Nintendo dosn't come out with a new system, they just had one. Third, I have a GCN, yet also Sega systems, and love many gamesystems.

So again, sorry about the flaming, not that you threatened me, but that you explained what you posted.

Sorry

Ditto for Fievel.

New...I'm sure we could debate cel-shading & FPS/FPA game formats for days on end but look at it this way...Pick a band you like that's been around for at least 10 years. Listen to their first album...Then listen to their new album. Their style, sound and general effect on you change and evolve. Nintendo is doing a great job of covering their butts. They're releasing a FPS/FPA Matroid title on the GCN but they're also releasing a side-scrolling version on the GBA. Truth of the matter is that if they released a side-scrolling version on the Cube people would mock them for not advancing the genre to meet the new technology. As for Zelda...I'm excited about it but not nearly as much as I was for OoT & MM. I think I'll have to play it some myself before I make judgement. The problem is that you get into a "Danged if you do, danged if you don't" type of thing. If they update then purists and loyalists will call foul and say that their voice is being ignored. If they don't change then they're not being innovative and are stuck in a creative rut. (Remind you of the issues facing some theme parks and their attractions?)

Since this thread has already drifted so much it'll soon be included in the game section, what's wrong with GC's Zelda? And is the new Smash Brothers and that Simpsons Crazy Taxi-like game as good as it looks?
