Nintendo was never penniless, they always made profit. Nintendo could've competed with 360 and PS3, but why get a third of a pie when you can get both a third of pie and an entirely new one.

Everyone I see buying Wii's are the hardcore players. Why? because of Quality software like Zelda and Metroid and because of people like me, old gamers that just want something new.

Nintendo risked everything and hence has the greatest reward, they deserve their success.

The Wii was not a risk by comparison with 360 or ps3. R&D costs are quite low when you utilize old hardware. Even better when you stand to profit from each system sold.

But Nintendo DID risk alot!. I mean motion sensing done on a console (yes it was done on a mouse but not thew ay nintendo did it) ,No one knew if the public will accpet this new form of gaming. Alot of ppl were still use to the tradional way of gaming (gamepad). If nintendo didn't sell any system or inovate then making a profit on each system makes no difference. And making it cheaper to make games on that system is a good thing! More uniqe games from not so well known developers (called indepent studio) Why shall we allow ourselves just buy games from BIG game companies when we can get unique games. Look at XBOX developement kits! this will help keep the industry from getting stale!

I believe Nintendo deserve there sucess in trying something "new" (yes motion was done before but Nintendo implemented it a different way) as is now expanding the market. Just becuse certain people don't like casual games does not mean it is a bad system. The Wii has seen great "hardcore titles" like Zelda and Metroid Prime. If you do not like the system then don't buy it.

Nintendo had to change their stratagy because the pevious one was not working so well. Did you know Nintendo did believe in having the most cutting edge technology with in their console. Like the Nes, all the way to the gamecube. I mean Nintendo even collaborated with Sony to make a CD based console but backed out. Compare to the Playstation 32 bit processor to the N-64 64 bit processor. Nintendo had the cutting edge tech but in the end Sony won with the games. Same with teh Gamecube, the Cube is technologically more powerful than the PS2 (can be see from games like Rouge Squadren and RE4).

We all complain about the "lack of games" but in the end, the Wii has not even been out a YEAR yet. We all need to give it time to prove itself. Just like later on, the Xbox360 proved that it can compete and it can get Japanese developers to make game for it. Just like every new thing, you have to give it time
