If Nintendo went the way of Sega...

They've already said if they leave they're taking everything with them.lantus

thatll hapen.

Nintendo have said that they won't go third party. They would stop developing games.

Nintendo has never even been close to fail. It has never been a poor company.

And consoles will be even more ridiculosly cheaper thanks to them usually being subsidised.

That would suck.

I'd be sad. I have to buyall theconsoles just to get all of their games :x

I was sad enough when Sega went the way of Sega... My Dreamcast's full potential, unrecognized. Sure, the Bleemcast emulator brought new life to the Dreamcast, but still...

And if Nintendo went that way, where would casual gamers be left to turn to? XBox360 and PS3's prices make them pretty much only available to people who want to spend large amounts of money on gaming. Casual gamers would have no console marketed at them. Except Hyperscan or V-Smile, but those things are only entertaining for people under 8.

Are you kidding? That would be great. That means we would have one less console to buy to play great games. I mean look, for three straight systems, Nintendo consoles have been known for having some great first party titles and absolute crap in terms of third party. If they went third party, that means we would never again have to buy a Nintendo system just to play those handfuls of great Nintendo games. If Nintendo systems had healthy libraries that would be one thing, but as it stands, first party games are the only thing holding there systems up for the most part.rpawloski2458

and if Sony or Microsoft dropped out? Developers would shift there support to the other two and we would have the same effect.

not going to happen for a long time...if ever.

but hypotherically speaking.

would be nice to have one less console to buy to get all the greats. that would be the one plus.

but i like that nintendo are thinking outside the box and offereing something completly different to the norm. they really come out with alot of stuff that makes other manufacturers and devs go "ooo...clever". they also make ace hardware thats very reliable overall (not perfect mind) and they have some of the finest engineers in the business. they dont necessarily invent new tech but they take a tech and implement it into games better than anyone else. analogue sticks, rumble, dpads..nintendo were the ones to successfully introduce those into gaming. now we have touchscreens and motion controllers. what will those whacky ppl think of next?

if u ever need a spanner thrown into the works then nintendo are usually the ones with said tool. imho the console market would be a lesser place without ninty. there like the crazy, and sometimes stubborn, dad of the gaming industry.

If Nintendo went the way of Sega...OP

No.

If Nintendo stopped making systems it would horribly damage the industry.

Since competition drives the industry, it would be bad for the industry.PS3Compass

Even more so as Nintendo is the one that normally pushes the envelope and takes chances.

If Nintendo dropped out, I would go back to PC gaming. Or reading.

I wish so much that they would drop out of the home console business and stick to developing and publishing. It would be their greatest move ever.Velric

Sorry, in your dreams only.

Sounds like a threat. like Nintendo is threatening consumers to continuing buying nintendo or else they will just stop. Talking about loyalty to the consumers. lol

Also, ignore how some of the spacing is off, for some reason whenever I post on GS it messes up the spacing. Yes, I do spellcheck but it doesn't show up. mynameisdumb

I have that same problem too. Gamespot has issues.
