If you could make one of the big three leave gaming..

Which would it be?

I say Microsoft if the DRM is confirmed at e3.

Sony.

Leave hardware for software: Nintendo

Before the whole XBOX One reveal/DRM thing, I was worried about Nintendo going third-party. But afterwards, I've realized that the industry needs Nintendo more than ever, to make a video game console dedicated to GAMES.

Microsoft.

Sony. They're losing money on it every year and people are losing their jobs.

All off them.

What do you mean by leave gaming? Do you mean leave gaming entirely (no consoles or games) or just no more consoles? If the latter than definetly Nintendo. There consoles have been pretty abysmal for the last three generations.

No they haven't.

Eh, gotta disagree. Admittedly I don't have a WiiU but it looks as bad as the Wii and GameCube.

Graphics aren't always everything.

Nice to see you make an assumption on why someone has a preference, you stupid animal. 👆

Duck the hell up

and if its anything to do with graphics ares834 is trying to get it....still applies what i said.

Nintendo makes good games. They just need to lay off the gimmicks for awhile.

Yeah, and the Gamecube was pretty solid far as the library and everything. Can see where ares is coming from on everything else though obviously, but I'm gonna have to agree with those who said Microsoft now the most as far as this thread topic's concerned.

Are you trolling? The GameCube was a GREAT console.

I'd always want Nintendo to stay in because they are trying something distinctive, whilst Microsoft and Sony have fought over the same ground (distinctive doesn't mean better, but it does mean Nintendo has a valid role that no-one else is filling, whilst if one of Microsoft or Sony weren't in gaming it wouldn't make that much difference because the other would just take what they had).

But now that might be changing as well, with the route MS is going with the One. It could be three valid approaches to the market.

Neither. This market needs competition.

I'm of the opinion that Nintendo needs to either quit making such gimmicky shit and concentrate on making a bonafide console or go the Sega route and make third party games for other companies.

The Gamecube was awesome, in my opinion. The Wii was fun for about 6 months and then became a paper weight. I have no interest, whatsoever, in the Wii-U.

Hypothetically speaking, if the Xbox One bombs and MS were to drop their console division, would that mean Nintendo would possibly be able to get Rare (or what's left of it) back? Not like MS has done anything with Rare anyway besides a Perfect Dark port and IIRC, a Banjo game that left a sour taste in people's mouths. If Nintendo had Rare back in addition to Retro Studios, they'd be more of a force to be reckoned with, putting aside their outdated hardware and stuff.

Eh, one can dream.
