Not that I think either is very likely but imagine only having to purchase one system to get all the new Nintendo games, instead of two.

Additional benefits:

More exclusives on surviving system

Potentially more variety in exclusives - Nintendo wouldn't be obligated to provide two systems with Marios and Zeldas. So, for example, instead of New Super Mario Bros 2 and New Super Mario Bros U we'd just get one of them and then, maybe something new.

Must be Level 10 to create topic!

Do you think Sony fans are happy that the PS Vita is selling horribly? Do you think they'll benefit from that somehow?

I see where you're going (obviously) but, the thing is, the DS, 3DS, Wii and Wii U are all, imo, pretty interesting and unique systems. If either handheld or console gaming lost Nintendo the respective field would be at a loss.

Well, the PS3 is a more successful system than either the PSP or the Vita. Maybe it would be nice if Sony wasn't pouring resources into a handheld market that they've never been able to dominate. All those resources could be going towards the PS3.

Failure would bring either the colapse of Nintendo or make them stop fooling their fans with useless gimmicks.

In a way, it could benefit them yes... too bad it won't happen, thus is the enchanment Ninty holds over the sheep.

Since all that Nintendo fans care about are first party games the answer is... neither.

It doesn't work like that. Nintendo games are as polished as they are because they release them when they are done. If they went 3rd party, quality would eventually drop because they're be forced to a release schedule. Not only that, but hardware sales help fund the massive amounts they spend on r&d. Nintendos business model is completely different than all the other companies. Nintendo views game design as a craft/trade. They are more comparable to a respectable instrument builder than the greed that is Sony/Ms.

I would love to play Nintendos games on my Playstation, it would be so much better. They would still be the biggest publisher in the world without hardware and would be raking in big money. Everyone wins.

+1 Sales alone for any first party game outside of Mario would be barely enough to fund a sequel especially if they kept their "we will release it when its ready" development cycle.

Nintendo without their own console would be a very sad sight... could even be as bad as the current Sega.

PSP made more money that the PS3. In total.

Handheld gaming would suffer more than console gaming without Nintendo lately. So if they were to focus on anything it should be that.

People have been saying that about Nintendo systems since after the SNES. "lolol rumble packs in controllers :lol: " and "haha analog sticks" and "hehe dual screens" and " heho motion control will never catch on".

So please continue with the doubt, it wouldn't seem normal if Nintendo didn't have a ton of negative resistance to stomp out as usual.

In reality no fan would really care enough unless they have stocks from that company. To put in short words I think that the internet is a very vocal crowd and many of us probably only like one company a little bit more than another in reality.

I lost no bet. Trouble is, i no longer have any hate. And at this stage, I stand to gain nothing if I am joking about this fact. Sure I'm going a bit overboard to counter my previous digressions, but this is system wars.

Since nobody else did as far as I can see, I'll go ahead and point out the elephant in the room: The TC is not Level 10. The only reason I'm posting this and not reporting it is because the page to report users seems to be on the fritz.
