"to be truly great ,one must taste defeat and rise above it against all odds"

no1 has done more for the industry than mighty nintendo

-holds the guiness book of world record for "most sold pack in videogame to date" (super mario bros 42m )

-holds the guiness book of world record for most copies sold for a stand alone game (17.23 m super mario bros 3)

-creator of the most influential system of all time "gameboy"

-rejuvenated the industry from the videogame crash of 1984

-sold over 2 billion copiesgames as of 2004

-creator of industry icons mario ,metroid ,zelda

-introduced the gamepad

-introduced the analog stick on a gamepad

-introduced the wii-mote

-creator of the ds

-creator of the wii

-gamerankings top 3 titles of all time belongs to nintendo

-nintendo pretty much jump-started 3d-gaming w/ mario 64

-GAMESPOT 2007 goty winner super mario galaxy

p.s nintendo was partly responsible for the birth of it's biggest rival "the playstation family" which can be argued as the most influential system in gaming.

UPDATED +++++

REDMOND, Wash., Jan. 17, 2008 - Nintendo DSTM and WiiTM finished strong in 2007, commanding sales in the holiday shopping period and finishing the year as the two best-selling video game systems in the United States, according to new data just released by the independent NPD Group. Nintendo DS was the top-selling U.S. system of 2007, with nearly 8.5 million sold, including more than 4 million in November and December alone. Wii placed second, with nearly 6.3 million sold through the year, more than 2.3 million of which sold in the final two months.

"By the end of 2007 we were sold out of virtually all hardware, and much of our stock of software and accessories was sold out as well, thanks to the broad appeal of Wii and Nintendo DS to core gamers, women, families, grandparents - and seemingly everyone in between," said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of sales & marketing. "And that momentum continues here in the early weeks of 2008."

Some additional facts about Nintendo's 2007 performance in the United States (note: All figures are from NPD):

* Nintendo accounted for 52 percent of all video game hardware systems sold in 2007 - more than all other manufacturers combined.
* Since their respective launches, Nintendo has sold more than 17.6 million Nintendo DS systems and nearly 7.4 million Wii systems in the United States alone.
* Wii PlayTM, a collection of nine fun mini-games, finished 2007 with 4.1 million units sold.
* Super Mario GalaxyTM sold through more than 2.5 million copies since it launched on Nov. 12.
* The two games in the Brain Age® series each sold about 1 million copies in 2007.
* Half of the top 30 best-selling games of 2007 were made for Nintendo systems, including Pokemon® Pearl, Pokemon® Diamond, Mario Party® DS, Guitar Hero IIITM: Legends of Rock and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic GamesTM.
* Nintendo continues to dominate the hand-held market: Of the top 30 best-selling portable games sold in 2007, 25 were made for Nintendo DS and another two were made for Game Boy® Advance.
* Sales of Nintendo DS systems grew 60 percent over those from 2006.
* In 2007, the video game industry grew by 43 percent over 2006. Nintendo is responsible for 60 percent of that growth.

Nintendo has been around in the game business for 20 years, and have been around in the toy business for 100 years.

Of course they know what they are doing.

Thats either Megaman or Sonic, Megaman because he was in alot more games then Mario (Please don't tell me to use the search engine and look up Mario because alot of those games don't really have Mario as a main Character because Ocarina of Time is listed on that list because Mario is in a picture in the Window, and Sonic because some of his resent games were horrible.

Wow, the Wii invented the Wii-mote. Whoopee. It's not what components it has, it's what games it has. Sure the N64 and SNES were hits, but the Wii has **** games for the most part.

That statement right there leads me to believe that you are still a teenager, or are in middle school. If you need to define your "coolness," or age by the console you purchase, then you ARE a nerd that deson't realize it yet. If you WERE an adult, it wouldn't matter what you played as long as it was fun, besides, they're all toys anyhow so get over yourself and have fun.

about time they start to dominate in sales for consoles. Sony is been treating them like kids for 10 years. Too bad their products are mostly kiddy and dont make all adults happy.

nintendo defeated 9 rivals and continues to outsell psp by 30 million units in the handheld arena

nintendo released the nes in north america @ the time that videogame business scared a lot of companies due to the videogame crash of 1984 ,but even back then it has competition like sega master system and of course the greatest console war known as "the 16-bit war" maybe im just too old to remember all this .

btw last time i checked ps3 and xbox 360 was out full year and nintendo wii outsold them both in the millions worldwide (will youconsider those consoles competition?)

nintendo games are usually for everyone

Rock Band might be on the way.

I wonder if the gutar is what killed them. I bet Activision has the Wii gutar copyrighted and they couldn't come up with a new way to do it in time for the release.

It really surprises me how much sheep cling to this goty award as validation that the wii has a "good' lineup. Its really kinda sad.

the fact that only one of its games was nominated speaks for itself.

i dont mind games that look kiddy ,as long as theyre fun .i dont need to be playing an fps or gta to make me feel macho or any other realistic looking games w/ blood.as far as i know the gamespot staff is also with me on this one cuz the titles for other platforms that came out in 2007 have blood and violence on it but super mario galaxy still managed to top them

Only one game needs to be nominated to win.

How many PS3 games were nominated?

And clearly because the Wii only had 1 in the top few games it rest of it's line up was totaly not playable. Sure it's not the best, but that doesn't mean it's bad either.

Confusing not being the best with not being good... That's a stupid thing to do.

im the same w/ gta franchise , i dunno whats the big deal about it ...dont get me wrong i dont mind violence in games ,but i just simply cant get into gta .though i admit gta grants the gamer a lot of freedom in its game ..i like the open-ended feel to it

notice how the 360 had multiple games nominated for goty? yea, lets see when the wii can do that :roll:

Nominated but didn't win.

It really surprises me how much sheep cling to this goty award as validation that the wii has a "good' lineup. Its really kinda sad.

the fact that only one of its games was nominated speaks for itself.

Only one game needs to be nominated to win.

How many PS3 games were nominated?

And clearly because the Wii only had 1 in the top few games it rest of it's line up was totaly not playable. Sure it's not the best, but that doesn't mean it's bad either.

Confusing not being the best with not being good... That's a stupid thing to do.

2 games were nominated from the ps3.

doesnt matter ,super mario galaxy beat them all

no1 remembers second place

second place = first loser

but lets not get off-topic, im just simply saying that no1 has done more for the industry than nintendo ,u can argue that the playstation brand has done more ,but just remember that nintendo was partly responsible when psone was conceived and thats written in the videogame history

That statement right there leads me to believe that you are still a teenager, or are in middle school. If you need to define your "coolness," or age by the console you purchase, then you ARE a nerd that deson't realize it yet. If you WERE an adult, it wouldn't matter what you played as long as it was fun, besides, they're all toys anyhow so get over yourself and have fun.

Actually Im not, and its not that much fun, my sis owns a Wii, and I play some of the games she has like Mario Galaxy and stuff like that, buts only only fun for a day, and then it becomes overally boring and extremely repetive...

now that you say that I'm going to have to agree. I find that aside from the few great ones, many games that come out are just boring (all systems). They're 5 hour games packed with 10 hours of useless filler like backtracking and checkpoints that make these games falsely difficult, prolonging the game that shouldn't be prolonged.

im the same w/ gta franchise , i dunno whats the big deal about it ...dont get me wrong i dont mind violence in games ,but i just simply cant get into gta .though i admit gta grants the gamer a lot of freedom in its game ..i like the open-ended feel to it

It may be too much freedom. Though sometimes it doesn't feel like enough. The last one didn't interest me because I grew up around gangs and don't see it as a game . I just wished the graphics were better.

Do you have any hard facts that Nintendo help create the Playstation family?

Furthermore, Sony dominated Nintendo for 10 years. Making Nintendo only survive on the DS. Also, where is the Wii's third party games that Sony and the Xbox 360 are getting. What has Nintendo really done next gen? What motion sensing has been done already. Nintendo did not even include the Wii to play movies, music CDs, or voice chat. To tie this whole argument in what new franchise has Nintendo created besides regurgitated characters with some upgraded graphics.

Sony is the UNDISPUTED KING of gaming!!

First to all.... Learn before you write...

Maybe youre young to talk about past that you didnt remember at all or you didnt live back then...

So for your mistakes lets see

1)TOP game franchise for 2k century was SONIC = SEGA

2)The are tons of creators like Sega that made such as industry icons as Sonic etc so no big deal

3)Creator of Wii and Ds isnt a big achievement isnt?All companies making their consoles so ...What areyou talking about?

4)SEGA pretty much started 3D games with ARCADE of Virtua fighter. They were the first and only.

5)Before Super Mario 3d there were dozens of games for PSone and Saturn that were 3D.

6)GAMESPOT 2007 GOTY is SMG but that doesnt matter. If you into platforms and you love mario will be great. What if you arent ? That makes you wonder why should be GOTY? What was the big achivement of this game? Graphics?Gameplay?Thats what ppl that dont like nintendo games thinking.

7)N64 is considering one of the worst console failures ever created. By many companies (FF7 was about to release on N64 but wasnt possible cause of the cartridge,many others did the same)

8)Gamecube had also very low sales but soem great games indeed.

9)Last chance of Nintendo to revive as many said was this generation console.Now is true or not.Noone knows.The thing is that they did good (till now) so i bet wont be their last generation. Nintendo is a respectful company that many grew up with nintendo games afterall.

10) About playstation NOP wasnt nintendo that was responsible. Was sony responsible for its toy. Nintendo just ask from some companies to make an add on for their system (SNES).Back then noone knew what it would be. A Cd-rom or a cartridge. After the failure of Segas 32X and SEGA-CD for Genesis/megadrive systems.nintendo decide not to do the same mistake. Thats when Sony decide to develop further its system and introduce after some time PSone.

But the differences between what Sony first made for SNES add-on were huge. So nop,wasnt the same system that supposed to be on SNES. But a new one with what they learned on the proccess for the add-on.

11)I was there when all that occured,so im talking with facts,not justs what someone told me or i heard. 15 of console gaming isnt a few :P

P.S Nintendo is a respectful company that added a lot to what we call Video game community. I will never forget the countless argues i had with some friends back then ( NES vs Master System ) and so on.Was funny.

1) sonic isnt even in the top 20 (forget 10) best selling games of all time , nor is it in the top 10 best reviewed game in gamerankings

2)sonic like miyamoto labeled him is a mario clone

3)wii is taking over next gen gaming , DS is on pace to outsell ps2

4)super mario 64 is the blueprint for 3d gaming never virtua fighter lol

5)mario 64 is the first 3d game done right ,get over it.

6)super mario galaxy beat halo 3 ,bioshock ,crisis ,guitar hero 3 and cod 4..any1 of those contenders is good enough to win any other past years except 2007 lol

7)nintendo 64 sold more units than xbox 360 or xbox worldwide

8)GC won 3 G.O.T.Y from gamespot

9)nintendo continues to innovate w/ ds and wii20+ years later after they entered the console business .and both consoles are dominating their arenas

10)sony did start the ps1 after nintendo turned down the proposal from sony to make cd based games for the super nintendo titled "playstation". so in part it was conceived due to nintendo's rejection.

P.S SEGA is strictly a 3rd party developer of software now while it's rival nintendo is once again dominating in both console and handheld wars ...

Nintendo is horrible with technology, look at the games. Theyre not even up to par with current games like Uncharted and Call of Duty 4!

The games reach out to the casual gamer, which I have no problem with, but being a "hardcore" gamer, my choice of games lies on my 360 and PS3, not the mostly kittie crap on Nintendo.

And seriously, Nintendo NEED to get a new face, Mario should just die.

Just my opinion.
