Since DS haters have been insulting this console with the word "gimmick". People called it Nintendo's last portable, flop etc... And we all know how it turned up, its crushing the competition right now.

Same thing the Wii. Only a few realized the potential and the genius of Nintendo's blue ocean straregy. People called it a gimmick(again) and despite its incredible sales since its November 2006 launch people are calling it a fad because of its inferior processing power even though DS philosophy proved that graphics dont really matter.

Nintendo is back, face it haters. They will be #1 and will have great and excellent games. Nintendo will dominate the portable and console market and will probably be the #1 game publisher.

So let them enjoy what they deserve and what they earned.

It has been more than 20 years, I dont think theyll turn into an Ubiflop or EA although EA did a pretty good job with the Wii lately.

the thing is, nintendo always crushes the handheld competition but not the console- for that it does for the first year and then no one buys it (at least for the n64 and gamcube)

Arrogance is the reason why Nintendo chose a cartridge over a cd format for the N64.

Gamecube never sold 7 million in 6 months and DS sold faster than the GBA and that is with competition. Yes Nintendo reputation helped the DS alot of the reason why its selling 200k/week JUST IN JAPAN is because of their strategy.

Well it really depends on what you mean, if you mean just have a bit of a feeling of accomplishment and taunt the other companies because of their success its alright.  If you mean for them to truely get cocky and arrogant than that would be a horrible idea for them.

the thing many people fail to see is that current sales do not indicate how successful a company will be in the next 3-4 years down the road.

NO ONE knows what the outcome will be when the gen is over. Hell, i wouldnt be surprised if we saw the PS3, 360, or Wii as leaders in the market.

All 3 could potentially pull it off. The 7 point w.e million sales of the Wii in no way can tell us if Nintendo will be #1.

It never hapenned in the past that a console that sells like crap(like the PS3) suddently sky rockets and beat the competition.

yes but it could potentially happen. Im sure if the PS3 had cost about 200 dollars less, it would sell a lot better than it is right now.  Also, if sony had done a better job marketing it.. than those lame Baby in a cube commercials.

of course they have the right to be cocky, they have been behind for the past 2 cycles of consoles. it doesnt mean that they should be, because this early lead could be temporary, and if it is they would have to eat their words

Well thats the thing. They did everything wrong and I see no way they can recover. PS3, Wii and 360 is current gen. Its soon gonna be 1 year, not much time left to turn things around. I predicted all this. I said 6 months would a good delay to decide who will be the winner and everyone agreed. I said the Wii would be #1 at this time. Well im wrong but not totally since the Wii beats the other console every week and soon gonna pass the 360.

I don't think so, cocky people are very irritating.  Be proud of what you've accomplished, but don't rub it in; that's why they need to get rid of this 'reggie' character.

Arrogant? Ninendo has always been the most down to Earth and humble of the big 3 IMO.Private_Vegas

LOL, you obviously know nothing about them.

On the N64, they said they didn't need CDs because they claimed that their cartridge technology was superior. A bunch of third parties left, and Nintendo said "We don't need third parties anyway, we're NINTENDO!", and then they lost even more.

On Gamecube, they said "We don't need the internet! Gameboy connectivity is the REAL future of gaming, it's like having your own tiny internet in your living room!" And as we all know, Nintendo finished last place this past gen.

Now, Nintendo is being the most arrogant they've been since the N64, and that's not good for them. Pretty soon, "Eye of the Tiger" is gonna start playing, and Sony's gonna kick their butt.

Nah, they don't have the right to be cocky.  I don't care how well the Wii and DS are selling, the game libraries for both systems are still abysmal.  I haven't seen anything worthwhile released for the DS since Elite Beat Agents, and the Wii... man... maybe one or two titles worth owning.

Since DS haters have been insulting this console with the word "gimmick". People called it Nintendo's last portable, flop etc... And we all know how it turned up, its crushing the competition right now.

Same thing the Wii. Only a few realized the potential and the genius of Nintendo's blue ocean straregy. People called it a gimmick(again) and despite its incredible sales since its November 2006 launch people are calling it a fad because of its inferior processing power even though DS philosophy proved that graphics dont really matter.

Nintendo is back, face it haters. They will be #1 and will have great and excellent games. Nintendo will dominate the portable and console market and will probably be the #1 game publisher.

So let them enjoy what they deserve and what they earned.
