well if you didnt know, nintendos actually over 100 years old, back then known as marufuku , , they sold playing cards then toys they tried everything basically until they found a market that needed them, which was the video games market, the only reason i believe sony makes all the stiff they m,ake, is because they fear that because of nintendo , they wouldnt have succeeded also they did tvs before games, lol, why hasnt microsoft made a tv0 your gonna get the same answer ,
thats not thier specailty
they were a toy /card company phone company-=in japan , etc . us theyve only been a video /arcaDE GAME COMPANY WHICH IS PROBABLY WHY YOU WOULDNT KNOW MUCH but look in wikipedia or youtube i m sure theres a histroy video in there,m
but ya,
nintendio is in deed getting into the camera business multimedia on the dsi ,, as far as tvs go, dont expect them, t o make one, they can , they are big enough, but one company who focuses on games should stay focused, lets look at all the times others have gone out of business because they didnt focus on one thing they started on,
free radical is just one of these example, they didnt keep up with a excelent franchise, for a small company its good to do that, but they didnt instead they made one mistake,
that took them out completely, they cant work on timesplitters4 now lol,
thats why i think nintendo will not venture to far out of its profession,
they are actually the only ones that really care for the video game industry,
no one else takes risks, and does it better then nintendo ,
every one whom has tried to invent somthing totally different has failed, and i mean totally not ps or xbox like thos did the same thing,
but like when sega kept doing that, (dc ahead of its time just trying to advance this is just an example)
nintendo is why the graphics are the way they are, reallly if it werrent for them , graphics wouldnt have been advance on consoles,
on pc maybe but i dont think consoles or game units would be here, nintendo took the biggest risk 4 times where it succeeded 2 times and just rode it out the other 2 times and still is here,
you cant really say n64 or gc were failures because they didnt sell as good, they did well enough for nintendo to still be made profit
then they came and took risk number 5,
that number 5 put them back up top ,within a year,
(1st risk is the nes
2nd the gb
3rd sticking to carrs for n64
4th ditching online last gen ,
5 the wii/ds new way to control and play games at home,
theuy also did another one prior to n64, but it failed, and is their only failed product to date, (when i mean failed i mean had not lived a full console cycle of 4-5 years eg saturn or 12 handhelds , )
i dont mean they sold like ps2 1 snes and nes and wii ds gba now,. , but still they were good,
thats why i dont see nintendo making tvs,
especally with a crowded market and a bad one as it is
theres to many tvs to compete with compared to 2 other consoles, which midnyou are aimed at a particular market,
while wii is aimed at virtually any one, any age any style any budget whcich has lead to the success of ps1 snes nes geneis ps2 gb and ds line as well as now wii,
i rather hAVE NINTENDO AS A GAME COMPANY, or none at all ,
speaking of cards they still make cards lol, and mario themed stuff, in fact for500 or 600 i forgot club nintendo points, nintenodo is offering marioparty cards and some other original cards from when they were a dedicated card co.
also there is a mario kart phone, i had one,
if they were to come with a tv, it would have to be a whole new style, or c heaper then any of the ones out,
to really succeed,
its not easy to do somnthing with a crowded market as it is one like i said, that only consist of 2 seperate console makers, who also aim at a whole different market now,
as nintendo said, 3 or more aiming at the same thing only leads one to success not 3 ,
but the way it is now, 2 can succeed,
because they are different
