Nintendo is the only dedicated GAMES company still manufacturing consoles. They care about 1 thing in their product - FUN! Thats what console games are meant to be about. They aren't fetishing slight upgrades in processor speed, graphics, etc. They are innovative and original.

That picture a couple posts back is spot on. Nintendo have invented and pioneered almost every single development in console gaming.

Now Sony and Microsoft have slimed in and thrown money about to dominate the market with generic games usually involving violence/nudity/crime/celebrity endorsement/film or tv spin off. AHH the cattle do love to graze...no thought required.

Harsh ? Maybe. But if they kill of the pioneers who are they going to copy ?

Oh no, they'll just buy them off won't they? Excellent. I do love choice in the marketplace.
