First off, I am a big Nintendo fan. However, that is because of their games and controllers (speaking more as of late). I do not see the point in trying to compete with Microsoft and Sony in the console department. The Wii is very underpowered. It would be nice to have some select games for the 360 and the PS3 that would use the Wiimote. I also think that they should continue to make portable systems like the DS. Let me know what you guys think.

I can't tell you what I think without being banned/suspended. SHNOFFLE
I don't think Ninty should stop making consoles at all. I think they should start making consoles I want to buy though. Right now they're wasting my time, and taking my developers to make second rate "casuals first!"(a.k.a weak) games. I dunno, maybe they figured out they just can't quite take Sony or MS in the real console segment, but I wish they'd at least continue trying...or get out.
Even if they never go the "power system" route again, they should still always make systems. Peoplealways talk about the death of gaming, "Nintendo stops making consoles" is the closest we would ever get.
i just realised i voted wrong, if nintendo stop making consoles then microsoft or sony can buy all there good games (super smash bros ftw)coakroach
*Shakes head* Nope. Nintendo made a statement quite a while ago, if their company were to somehow die, their games die with it. They would not move to third party.

This is business, and not everyone caters exclusively to whoisryanmack.
They should OPEN UP to 3rd party devs & STOP being close-minded towards violent mature themed games or create more new IPs. But to answer the topic. NO, they should keep making consoles. Competition is good for the industry.
Why would they stop making consoles and put games on other consoles when they can make thier own consoles that people will buy, and have the games exclusive?
Nintendo has gone out of their way to ensure that I never take a significant interest in their consoles ever again. I don't really care anymore whether they make more consoles.

Casualize doesn't mean it destroys depth, only the badly done ones do. Take madden for example. It's as dep as it's other console bretherens, just has a contorl style not only easier to explain to the average person, but that makes more sense.
You don't spend a long time explaining "This button jumps, this anolog runs, this one controls camura, this one dives, this ones for special moves, this this and this pressed in a certian order is a super move." Casualizing madden for a more wide audience basically ment to them what it should mean: "Hey, how do I tackle?" "Push forward"

I think the GBA just out-sold the PS3 in consecutive months again. :lol:

Ok, but this isn't the "what's good for business" thread. This is the "who thinks Ninty should stop making consoles" thread. That is my take on the matter, as evidenced by it's appearance next to my personal username.
Wow, you've got it completely opposite. Nintendo creates great and innovative hardware, with software that is barely innovative or of any great quality at all. So no, the exact opposite of what you said.
didnt miyamoto say he would leave if ninendo ever quit making consoles? No if only for that reason. plus nintendo has brought alot of things to the table over the years and will probably keep doing so. they made D-pad, Shoulder buttons, anolouge stick, and rumble all standard, and possibly motion sensing.

You were saying what Nintendo did for peripherals and not for consoles. I was saying that they stop making console and just amke peripherals, games, and portlable systems.
