Indie Dev: 'Unlike Microsoft, Nintendo Will Still Be Around In 100 Years'

[QUOTE="nintendoboy16"]And yet, still pull the f*** through. IS it really that hard to grasp?Ragnarok1051

and in 100 years they will still be releasing the same mario games. :lol:

I'm cool with that.

Truth be with that my good man!

Claiming that any company will be around 100 years from now is just stupid. 

..this is the dumbest thing I've read today, Sega is still around, blockbuster is still around. AKA, sheep try to claim ownage with any ammo they can get. lol

Lol..Mirosoft has bigger chance of being here in 100 than Nintendo. And consoles have zero chances of surviving that long.

He's a good dev and i respect his opinion but honesty noone "knows" if even people will be around in 100 years let alone two fragile companies like MS and Nintendo.

This is just as I alwasy say. The SW fanboys can hope and dream about Nintendo's doom as they have been for 15 years, but it is just not gonna happen. Why anyone would want any of the three to fail can only be jelousy for those that can afford them all.

Games aside, Indie devs do talk some sh*t.

So they have been in the business longer with no competitors, but as soon as there are competitors, they struggle and as soon as Sony entered they got spanked. They hit a one off fad with their Wii and have been kept afloat with handhelds for about 4 gens or so.

They don't want to take a risk, the Wii U is an excuse of a console. 'We're going to keep the performance low, because we want you to have a touch screen', don't think so. Out of date physics, ai...

The industry is moving into a place where Nintendo are going to struggle to move into. Not just hardware, but services as well. MS has just spent billions on cloud data centres all around the world, Nintendo are never going to do that, Sony might, but it'll take them some time to build that infrastructure (MS started in 2009). Sony have Gaikai, I don't see Nintendo doing that either. They are falling behind. It's just Mario and Zelda and whatever propping them up.

Right now i'd rather MS, at least they're continually researching and coming up with new things. MS and Sony are at the forefront, and Nintendo just can't keep up anymore.

Nintendo has been around for so many years and enjoyed so much success with their systems that its quite stupid to believe they're doomed..

Surely WiiU is not enjoying great sales but 3DS is doing great...

This is something people fail to understand. This is something they should have understood after the Gamecube era. A single console is a flash in a pan for Nintendo. The company has repeatedly made comebacks from adverse odds (NES, N64, Nintendo DS, Wii, 3DS), and one console's 'failure' will not spell dom for a company valued higher than Sony, and for a company with the most steady and ensured revenue stream out of all three thanks to its ensured properties such as Mario and Pokemon.

More importantly, remember that when a Nintendo system faces adverse odds is when it has the best library- see also: N64, Gamecube, 3DS.

charizard1605

Yeah, yeah... wait!? DOM!?

 

Nintendo has been around for years, heck i started seriously gaming on the Nintendo Gameboy/Snes so if Sony bows out of the gaming industry, not even a cent in my pocket goes to Microsoft, i despise their Xbox division that much, i would rather go back to Nintendo, atleast they understand the games industry unlike capitalist money hungry microsoft

Don't you belong to that other SW place?

FireEmblem_Man

Which is?

systemwars.com of course, since you were around the times of the ancients

Oh yes of course. I remember people talking about migrating there.

Nah, I'm not that hardcore. Look at my low level for a "since 2004" user, and low post count. I post for a short period, then go on with my life for a couple years, then I restart that cycle when I'm curious about what's going on in this place. If I'm barely a frequent Gamespot SW user, imagine having another account elsewhere. That's not for me.

Oh, okay. It's just tough here

Uhhhh... nobody can predict what will happen in 100 years. walkingdream

Didn't Hitler say the 3rd Reich would be around for 1000 years. Hmmm. See where I'm going on this?

Well, it's a good thing Nintendo will still be around in 100 years.....perhaps by that time they will have finally begun to catch up to what their competition has been doing for decades prior.

And it's funny you should mention hardware failures.....something that Nintendo has been suffering from with the Wii U.

I don't see why Nintendo would last any longer than Sony or Microsoft, I'd say they'll all be around in the next nuclear apocalypse. :P

I doubt consoles as we know them will even be around in 100 years. Everyone will be playing on PCs.Zoso813

This is just entirely false. Microsoft is so big and owns so much of the market, the idea that they would die out before a games only company is crazy.

and yet indie developers supports MS the most John_Read

A lot of them also love how Nintendo is catering to indie developers they said it isn't as good as Sony but it is still a lot better then Microsoft.

LOL indie opinionRR360DD

His opinion his still not as bad as Sony fanboys opininons.

Well, Nintendo has managed to be around for over 100 years already, and they still make profit and have tons in the bank, so it's isn't too unrealistic I suppose. Bot of course it is unknown what the hell will happen with the gaming industry or in the world in general in the next 100 years so who knows,
