Do you think Nintendo should abandon console development?

Seeing that the Wii isn't exactly getting the best titles out there, do you think Nintendo should just move on and develop their games for the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC?

If that happens, they'd better put in Gordon Freeman for the PC version of the next Smash Bros.

What I think?? I think Nintendo is doing pretty well and they don't really give a **** about what you or any of us think as long as they have their pockets full of big bucks.

Move looks too.... suggestive.funsohng

Thinking about it, i'm scared of PS3 fanboys who blindly defend their platform.

absolutely not, they're the most profitable company out there and abandoning console development would be a stab in the back for fans, consumers and investors.

I thought they already did abandon console development with the Wii.

Oh my...

What did you say? Because Nintendo can't hear you through their money palstered walls.

The Wii isn't famous for critically acclaimed titles. Heck, i think it has gained some notoriety.

because hardcore gamers aint getting what they want??lol i should say no they are doing fine and just mopping the floor with the competition good job nintendo they dont care what anybody has to say or feel honestly

Most of the third-party titles released on the wii are either mediocre or just a load of crap.

Heck, the wii itself might even be dangerous to nintendo fanboys, who might go in denial.

Oh my...

wut

they're making way more money than Sony or Microsoft, why would they abandon it?

From an economic standpoint, they'd be absolutely *insane* to give up development. From a making games standpoint, I'd rather they did - spread the love around, have more choice in what hardware they use. The Wii could well be a limitation in a lot of cases.Boomshaffted

I had thought that such an action might be necessary for Nintendo during the last generation. We all know how successful the gamecube was. Looking at the Wii, i am curious as to whether or not they removed the Gamecube's bumpmapping support entirely. Cuz to me, the graphics look like a PS2 on testosterone.

Plus, the motion controls are still experimental, and some of the releases show that game developers aren't ready for it.

If Nintendo abandons console development, it would only leaves Tweedledee and Tweedledum (which I like to call Sony and Microsoft) in the market -- an oligopoly in the console market, just like the Democrats and Republicans represent an oligopoly in the political realm. An oligopoly is no better than an monopoly because of a lack of competition. This oligopoly will be unfriendly towards casual gamers who are responsible for the game industry as it is now, and make gaming what it was never intended -- underground and an exclusive elitist clique. Gaming is entertainment intended for a mass audience, not for an exclusive few.

If they didn't do it when they were in last place, what makes you think they'd abandon console development now when they are making money while being 1st in sales?

Um... no? We need a console developer like Nintendo.

Nintendo will still be in the Console race.

But I do agree that Nintendo will need to step up their game. They tried a different route and became successful at it but now the Competition (which they tried to ignore) is catching on and they can no longer avoid the inevitable. Nintendo MUST step up their Game Next Gen.

This Gen however, they're fine.

nope if any one needs to leave its microsoft ALL THEY DONE IS RELEASE UNRELIABLE HARDWARE

and hardly any different games to compete against wii and ps3,

which is why in japan ds psp wii ps3 lead the sales every year taking turns

and in the us wii is always cleaning the shelfs with the exception of last month

so there ,

and with games like red steel 2 nmh 2 dead rising re series

house of the dead overkill klonoa

madworld

bully se

re4

driver 4

super mario galaxy and nsmb

zelda

metroid

etc etc

why would nintendo even quit

not ot mention the best version of this gens 007 game

as well as wwe games are more intuitive

and fun to play

just hang up your excuses

cause all 360 seamns to pump is average shooters one right after another

and theres no sign of that stoping

the n64 wasnt even this flooded with shoooters that were bad!

and we never wre charged an arm and a leg in the long run to play onlline multiplayer or should i say multiplayer period as thats mostly all 360 offers is hardly no split screen

at least wii and ps3=online free to play and so is split screen in more of their games

plus i can pop my rugrats games in my ps3 , , cant do that on 360

your on a losing case

yes, despite being in third place Nintendo still made a lot of cash off the GC.

In fact profit-wise, the Gamecube was actually a lot more successful than the Xbox.

it would be pretty cool..one less console to buy but.... i would be very suicidal for a long time. 8)

It does get quality titles. Niche titles, but quality nonetheless.

Just because they aren't hyped to high heaven like MW2 doesn't make them bad games.

NO.

Nintendo first party titles still kick major ass in terms of sales and quality. Third party support is decent. And we need the alternative. WE NEED NINTENDO GAMES ON NINTENDO CONSOLES.

Look at the PS3 and 360. Most of the games on the system are the same for both with a couple of exceptions based on first party games. Nintendo is completely different. PC's are very different. We need that choice.

If Nintendo developed for other companies, then other companies would have their input... likely ruining great Nintendo titles.

Financially the Gamecube wasn't a failure.

And stop fleecing grandma and little Timmy for insane profits? Never!

Ewww. Modern Warfail 2 was crap compared to CoD4 and WaW.

Also, i can point out a few mistakes about the Wii:

-Nintendo's first mistake with the Wii was to discontinue gamecube controller manufacturing.
-Graphics aren't even the equivelant of an X1400
-Motion control concept was released too early
