Nintendo may have won the generation.

But they have lost the respect of many gamers.

Im sure they're very depressed right now. How will they ever sleep at night with all that money they made--knowing a few lames here and there don't respect them anymore.

They've never had my respect:P

They have sold alot of systems but at what cost? I think this has really tried the patients of their core audience.

I think it's the other way around >.>
M$/sony are doing some things that are really upsetting gamers.

I don't see how Nintendo changed at all except they are gaining instead of loosing momentum.

Nintendo has gained my respect. I didn't own a gamecube or n64. I got a wii and a ds this gen and I love 'em both. I know a lot of people here don't like the wii, but every single gamer I know (in real life, not on the forum) agrees that the DS is one of the best consoles this gen.

Wii is my favorite console this gen, hands down.

As someone who owns all the Nintendo consoles, i say it is the worst of the lot. I had high hope for it but it was evident mid last year that the Wii's game line-up had already peaked (and i was right) and got a 360. Haven't bought a Wii game since. In the end i am a hardcore gamer and since Iwata took over it has meant he has gone casual and i have gone elsewhere. Wii game sales will drop since most hardcore gamers have mostly gone to the other 2 consoles leaving the casuals who buy much less games.

Wow well there goes all respect for you, besides as others have said the only respect nintendo's lost is from delusional fanboys who think chainsaws are cool and they are the only ones who should be cataered to despite the majority of sales on their own consoles also come from casuals.

I do buy plenty of games, just not for the Wii (have bought plenty for the 360 with many more to come). in fact i have already played over 40 games on the 360 since end of October. I bought 20 Wii games in just 1 year so i do buy games.

The reason the GC failed so badly it was Nintendo try at getting the core gamers. The GC ended up being just another games system with the only cool extra was if you bought the GB hook up. Which is why the system failed. Unlike the Wii where Nintendo went back to changing how we play our games. Back to their roots you could say,

It also was steamroled by a console that sold on 100% hype that was never met and had to deal with a new console called the X box that did a good job at attracting N64 owners. But in the end you are right on in saying that they lost when theywent for "core gamers". It has nerver paid to go for the core gamer (not counting any gen before the PS1/N64); the N64 lost, the cube and xbox lost, the PSP is getting stomped on ,the PS3 is dead last and the 360 only held on to its number one spot in terms of sales for about two years, one of which was before it had ANY compitition.
