How do they keep doing it bros? It's been 40 years now and they're still unrivaled in the industry

You think fisher price would be good at implementing online?

making overpriced fisher-price toys and lazy rehash games, and selling them to nu-males.

The fisher price meme was only valid for the wii u's lifespan, keep trying though, I'm sure it'll be funny one last time.

>unrivaled
Sony has been the industry leader for the last 25 years barring 2006-2009

We're talking about the games industry, Yas Forums is next door

as is /toy/

Its actually really impressive, because nitendo always goes out of its confort zone. They just dont relese the gamebox 1,2,3,4,5

That pic is sony tho

I wish they did, everything after the GC has been a disaster hardware wise

YO WHEN THE FUCK ARE SWITCHES GONNA BE BACK IN STOCK?

Yes because the switch is cutting edge with not dogshit barebones features

Sometimes in May, according to (((analysts))).

no it isn't.

Niggas what? The GameCube was one of Nintendo's biggest failures besides the Wii U and the Virtual Boy. Take of the damn nostalgia glasses.

I don't care about sales, I'm talking about hardware

Nintendo has stated they arent competing with Sony directly. They got blown out so bad that they exited the market that they helped re-establish after the video game crash.

imagine if sony, or any other company really, released something on par with the effort of the new pokemon games, do you really think they'd sell anywhere close to them? nintendo fans eat shit harder than anyone else in the industry

/thread

The Wii was similar to the GameCube in terms of hardware.
>inb4 the controller.

Hardware wise it was shit

>proprietary disc format
>no dvd which at time dvd player was more expensive than ps2
>no cd player
>piss poor third party support
Purple box

are you retarded? there's a big difference between having the specs of the GC in 2001 vs 2006, especially when TVs were in HD

So what? Nintendo is ALWAYS behind in terms of hardware you fool. Nintendo purposefully opted for 480p instead of HD

wrong, wii was the start of them being behind on hardware. Prior to that, all their systems weren't far off from the competition and even stronger in some cases. Now it'll be a miracle if nintendo releases a system that's even half as powerful as the second weakest system on the market

Nintendo of America literally has paid shills on Yas Forums making sure we can't say bad things about Nintendo for years as they abandoned us for casuals, they hired literally hundreds of people who hate videogames as product testers and supressed us from actually getting mad. The nintendoshill mods never let us complain about shovelware murdering our talented developers on Nintendo systems, or get angry at literally any issue related to Nintendo. It's like review sites that are bribed, Yas Forums has always had paid Nintendo shills making sure this place is Nintendogaf deleting threads that make Nintendo look bad and encouraging threads that make Sony or Microsoft looks like shit. They are all shitty companies, Nintendo is just slightly better for PC owners which makes it easy for the Nintendoshills to brainwash the mods and turn this place into Nintendo fanboy website. Though now ResetEra is aggressively shilling and will try to infiltrate this website with paid Sonyshill janny/mods, but the Sony shills are new, this place has always had Nintendo shills for the last 13 years.

I genuinely want to know how many PS2s never actually played a game. It was the cheapest DVD player in many regions at the time.

What about the N64 and it using cartridges instead of discs? Or what about the GameCube using those specialised mini discs instead of... actual discs that hold more memory?

Good, recognizable games/mascots that are generally loved by children and adults alike. That's powerful stuff.

software medium is retarded, though looking at specs the n64 is around the same as the ps1, if not stronger. Same goes for GC. Now we have retarded software media AND trash specs

Im sure alot of the people that bought one for dvd tried a game out or two. Literally how you introduce people to the market. Its like how the wii was successful by appealing to the family and old people demographic with wii sports. People on Yas Forums think that if a console sells 100 million then games like Xenoblade and God Hand should sell 100 million. The audience for all the games Yas Forums likes is finite and the casuals have to be the main consumer for a console to sell a ton.

Finally, this website will be completely dead, when Microsoft starts to aggressively shill this place and everyone on Yas Forums will start saying Xbox > PC.

Cracks me up that people still blame Square for not aupporting N64 when it was 100% Nintendos fault for choosing shit storage formats. Its like how now when devs dont spend 50 million man hours optimizing games to run well on Switch its somehow their fault for Nintendo's Hardware choice.

Am I the only one who likes Metroid and Zelda but never gave two hoots about a Mario game that wasn't Party? Mario's just so fucking stupid.

it wasn't just storage that was the issue, the nintendowngrade 64 was simply too weak to handle ff7's advanced graphics.

They don't have any games though. Only gayms.

wtf nokia had a console? lol

fucking underage

Switch is PS5 gen. You dont get to release two consoles in one gen and claim you were successful

Why do people justify exclusives as a good thing? Fuck Nintendo.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eighth_generation_of_video_game_consoles

>Nintendo so irrelevant that their console releases don’t count toward starting a new gen

It doesn't have to be cutting edge to be not "literally for children".
