Nintendo: The company that resurrected the video game for the home after Atari collapse. They are also a company that has done a lot for the industry as a whole. The touch screen of the DS. The motion controller of the Wii. The first handheld system that captured a large audience with the Gameboy. I mean Nintendo has done a lot for the industry.
That handheld market has kept them alive for years now and won't change anytime soon. I think that is their primary focus but they did put a lot into the Wii.
The PSP is a great hand held but as far as beating the DS, that will never happen. In my opinoin is the PSP superios to the DS, that's without doubt but the amount of quality of titles for the DS is superior to the PSP. Has the PSP gotten better with time, yeah it has. Still won't beat the DS though.
But homebrew isn't what the system is meant for. If you want to do homebrew then I think it should be done on a system that is meant for it. Something along the lines of Linux for example. A system that is an open system that lets you do these types of things. When companies have to focus even more time on people hacking a system that then takes away from the rest of the projects. Take it from someone who has to deal with hackers or wannabe hackers on a daily basis, it takes a great deal of time out of my busy day to have to deal with these issues. To me, use the system for what the develelopers intended it to be used for. If you think you can do better get into the market and put it to use.

Thanks for the compliment WhiteFlame. I guess since I've played video games since Christmas of 82 when I got my Atari 2600 and pretty much every console in between then and now, I've seen a lot, play a lot and read a lot about video games over the years. No matter what Nintendo's next console and there will be one, I just hope it follows in the footsteps of the DS/Wii and gives us some thing innovative again and not repeat their mistakes with the GC. Only time will tell if they've learned from their mistakes in the previous generation.
You know, I remember some guy pointed out something very interesting about a year ago...the Nintendo consoles seems to be innovative once every two generations:

It did scare them but it didn't stop them from being innoviative. I still have my virtual boy somewhere but that hasn't been played in many years now. It was a very different but even though it failed I'm glad Nintendo didn't stop being innoviative.Â

Yeah Nintendo was able to bring the market back from the grave and has been able to stay active and plays a very important role in the industry. I really dislike how so many people bash Ninteno for focusing on family style of games instead of the more mature market and how everyone complains how their graphics aren't next gen compared to MS/Sony. Why have so many people forgotten that graphics don't make the game, they only serve to enhance it.

Yeah, but most of them are really 12 years old noobs who didnt grow up with the Nintendo systems, so who gives a crap about them ? :?
I agree NWA but the probably is these noobs are the ones going out buying games solely based on the graphics and the companies are the seeing this and taking advantage of it in all reality. That's why we're getting such low quality titles anymore, so in a way I wish these noobs would really get what gaming is all about before the market takes a hit such as the Atari collapse.

I believe its the developers fault, not the noobs. They are so focused on making some quick money nowadays...Its kinda ironic because the best way to sell as much as possible is by making good games.
But if they know people will buy the game regardless of anything then they don't have to make it good (example: the Madden series)Homedawggydog
Home, you hit my point dead on there. The developers know that people will buy these games even if they aren't good. The Madden games are a good example, too bad they don't have the 2K series to compete against.Â
