I think nintendo is in trouble for next generation.

in the next generation, nintendo is gonna make us experiance games like we never did before.

Innovation isn't a one-time thing. Wherever innovation sparks, new ideas will flow, and things will improve.

And besides, Nintendo knows how to make things work. Who says Microsoft or Sony will be able to create as amazing experiences as Nintendo has? Look at Sony, their six-axis controls followed the Wii's bluetooth capabilities; but the six-axis of the PS3 is little more than a gimmick, a joke.

Why worry about the next generation? Worry about the next generations of safety, social sercurity, and education. Gaming is going just fine. Now go have fun with your Wii and tell it how much you appreciate it.

Not exactly. Nintendo, unlike Sega, Sony, and Microsoft, has been in the black (making profits) since they started as a card company in the 1960s. All of their "failures" such as the Virtual Boy and Super Game Boy were calcuated risks, i.e, they were already leading before they took risks. I see Nintendo pulling off something spectatular, albeit unconventional,in the next generation. Most importantly, the other companies are gonna smack their heads and say, "Why didn't I think of that?" (metaphorically, of course)monkey304

I'm pretty sure that Nintendo is over a 100 years old. I think they started making cards in 1889. Hold on let me try and find a link or something.

k i have 2 things to say

1.im really tired of seein fanboys say tht sony copied the motion sensing thing cause they didnt do sum research b4 u say tht

2.nintendo will be in trouble 3rd party wise like they r now theyre rnt many great 3rd party games i dont think sony or microsoft will try and go to as much motion sensing the wii does mayb tilting like the ps3 but thts it

Yeah, this link is a summary of Nintendo's history. And if you want, this is a wikipedia link.

I think that Nintendo should fine-tune the Power Glove. It might be one of the worst game peripherals of all time, but think about today's day and age, where technology is much greater.

1.- I guess that you are only one that keeps saying that Sony didnt copy Nintendo.

2.- Nintendo never depend on 3rd party's, they have their own games to survive (n64, GC)

And I have one thing to say aswell. For the love of GOD learn how to write!!!

um sony isnt as good as nintendo when it comes to unique ways to play sixaxis already proves this as a fact.... as you cant use a ordinary gAMEPAD to do motion sensing it just doesnt feel right,,, and im sure the hard core gamer would be mad at the fact if sony and ms do this theyll not play it,,,, just like they complain about wii now theyll even more so complain about sony and microsoft as they know little about what nintendo does. hence why 360 fails on you in 6 months and sixaxis motion controls are there just to be there no good use of em has been implemented,, as its hard to do these things with like i said a dual shock shaped controller..

next gen is lots of years away so dont even make topics if you know little to nothing about it... for all we know there may be one or only 2 consoles out next gen i think microsoft and sony is the one in trouble they pushed their system to the limits .. while nintendo choose not to and in stead used new ways to play in both the ds and the wii and it hasnt failed em yet ,,,, so what does this mean for sony / ms some analyst say the next xbox/ps wont come any time soon,,,, can we see a new nintendo maybe in 4 yrs heck ya bc they didnt push graphics they take it one step at a time ,,, you know heres an example

n64 was cartridge format playstation pushed for compact disc

the game cube was nintendos first disc based console excluding japans addons

but it didnt have online as much as ps2 and xbox has,,

3 yrs later nintendo was first to put a hand held online and wii also the first console with online from nintendo that actuallly uses it ...they choose to only update the graphics a tad bit instad of what ps3 360 did ,,,,, this works out as seen with ps2 and ps1 graphics dont make the game it makes it more expensive to develope and what does this mean for 3rd party... well just a week ago konami said mgs 4 has to sell a milllion in a day for them to make profit thats bad right there,,

the wii on the other hand gives developers and nintendo profit day one

and like others said nintendo always comes up with somthing maybe next gen theyll give me what i really wished for a console that plays nes snes n64 gc games all in one as well as the wii now ,,, nintendo almost gave me that in a sense wii can do this but is very limited to the library they put not the libraRY OF GAMES i already own

so who knows could we see a wii 2 with next gens graphics,, thatll suprise us by then prices would be down etc how far do you think technology can go graphics wise... we already have photo realistic graphics today

People thought they were in trouble this gen.

How'd that work out for them?

1.Its was a bit convenient how Sony unveiled their motion sensing controller months after Nintendo, surely you have to admit is was a little on the suspicious side considering their history for pinching ideas. I don't feel like doing "sum research" to prove your point for you but if you have definitive proof please enlighten us.

2.If this generation keeps up like it is for Nintendo I would imagine they would have a lot of third party support, not only will the have had the larger installed user base but they tend to make their hardware easy to develop for since the N64.

Next gen Sony and MS will try to make more motion sensing consoles and Nintendo will unveil the next big thing, Sony will try to copy and fail eventually reverting back to the regular style.Gimli524

that made me LQTM

Yes you are right the company is 100 years old and started out making cards then soon when Disaney started taking popularity, their first break through to American Market with Mickey Mouse cards and Nintendo was also the one that started Chucky Cheese before the big dispute in court. They were also attack by columbia pictures for saying that Donkey Kong was copied from King Kong but Nintendo had one that case so yea they go way back.

The controller looking the same doesnt mean the motion sensing wasnt stolen... if anything its means that it was more likely stolen and added after the fact

I know it can be scary to think about Nintendo. No matter how well they're doing, it always seems like they're on the brink because they've had a reputation of bringing up the rear ever since Sony got into the game industry (with a console they were originally developing for/with Nintendo, no less).

But the big N knows what it's doing--always has. Like many have said, they've been around forever, and they know how to turn a profit. All the folks that bash Nintendo because of the graphics thing this gen don't understand that Nintendo knows how to innovate, and how to do good business. They put out a console that is only marginally more powerful--graphically--than last gen's consoles, but added a revolutionary control scheme. Original? I don't know. But I do know no one has utilized motion sensing the way Nintendo has. And it worked. Developers can spend less to make games and make more profit because most folks don't care how powerful 360 and PS3 are if the Wii features games that are fun, look good enough and just happen to be cheaper to boot. And more and more I'm hearing people say that the PS3 and 360, for all their features, are a little on the dull side for the simple fact that their games are just better looking versions of last gen's games. I'm not preaching this as gospel, but it's not a farfetched statement. (Not that there's anything wrong with sticking with what works.)

Even when they were in third place with the N64 and GC, they obviously weren't losing much money because they're still here and, given that they are enjoying the most success they've ever had since probably the SNES days, they're not going away. It doesn't matter if their revenue came from consoles or handhelds, the point is they have it. They weren't like Sega, putting out countless pointless consoles like the 32X and Nomad and barely making profit. Nintendo does good business and knows how to keep gaming enjoyable. That's why I stick with them, why millions of others stick with them and why Nintendo is in it for the long haul, no matter how imposing the other guys look.

I doubt there will be a ps4,and microsoft may make another xbox,but if they try to get into the handheld market they will lose tons of money and not make another xbox.blingchu55

your wrong , their will indeed be a ps4 and xbox

Next gen Sony and MS will try to make more motion sensing consoles and Nintendo will unveil the next big thing, Sony will try to copy and fail eventually reverting back to the regular style.Gimli524

I love the hate from the PS and XBox followers. Their forums must be too boring for them, so they decideto troll into the Wii forum.

For all of the Wii listeners, Nintendo will be just fine. The next console will have better graphics AND better sensing controls.

I think if nintendo can start pulling off the same great graphics as sony and microsoft and there unique ideas we might have the perfect systemphantomblackedg

Amen :)

How can you make a statement like that when you know NOTHING about the next generation?

Nintendo will always have a nice oportunity. Graphics aren't the answer, and they will never be (my point of view).

However, to be honest, I think that Nintendo created the DS and the Wii too early. I would have pushed back both systems for at least one more year. Yet, Nintendo can improve the Wii, the Wii is just the signal of the real beginning.

The main difference between Nintendo this generation and other companies is that it has a unique way of playing games. Next generation I think Microsoft and Sony are going to have some sort of new way to play games as well and Nintendo won't be as unique as it is this generation. thus they will be in trouble. What do you think?spiggy500

first off nintendo isnt stupid, they know this just as well as you do. The next Xbox and PS will now most likely be more wii like than they would have if the Wii didnt do so well. This is a pretty easily assumed view point. I am sure they have something to trump the other guys.

Second even if they dont have anything special for the next wave of consoles, they will have been making great wii games for years by then and they will be much much more polished and experienced at it than the competition.
