If you think about it, Nintendo is not just taking on the giants like MS and Sony, they are also taking on the third party devs who are offering the other two platforms better support, the multi-plat philosphy which continues to award the 360/PS3 combination as they are of comparitive power, the graphics driven nature of the industry that sets out to power consoles and PC's with high-end graphics chips, not to mention the media driven aspect of the industry.

Nintendo is competing against all of this with their games, ingenuity.....and the Wii-mote,

and winning.

anybody seen 300?

The one where a valiant last stand ends up horribly squished even after fighting much better than the much more powerful opposition? Yeah, I wouldn't use that one for my argument. Seriously though, The Wii isn't actually "fightin" the charging bull that is the industry... the actions of nintendo are pretty much akin to sidestepping it.

i absolutely agree....great insight! just to illuminate your point more, the way they are doing is brilliant, holmes! did you here about nintendo holding back wii's have you notices that the best looking, best controlled games are made by nintendo!!! they are prooving themselves worthy in more ways than one. - as a serious competitor with a well thought out plan of action/ business model - as a serious dev that tries to push the hardware in some way with every game and delivering quality instead of overhyped failures - as a innovator in new technology - as a guardian to the wellness of the industry

It's lovely that it's selling, but you'd be lying through your teeth if you owned a WIi and said it was the best console on the market right now.

The Xbox 360 is better, but then again it did have a head start.

10 of them being asskicked by sony :lol: its not like nintendo are gaming gods or something, they just won nes and snes like 20 years ago and thats it

 

always remember that they were on top with the snes, they out of nowhere came sony and kicked them to second place, then it came microsoft and kick them to THIRD place

since gamers dont care about nintendo anymore, they were forced to find new public and developed a novelty gimmick to atract people

yes but the results of that battle united greece to start what is now western civilization. (followed by the greatest military mind ever alexander the great) so what is to say that the wii cant start a revolution in gaming like that.

edit: i was responding to the first half of your post I completely missed the second half

Actually, the battle was fought to give time to the Athenians to prepare their navy, which was the one that insured the victory, along with Sparta's command of the battlefields. Still, I don't really see where the Athenians come from. I see Kutaragi as Xerxes, but who're the Athenians?
