Don't worry, i wasnt taking it overly serious, i just mistakingly took you for one of the usual little ps2/xbox fanboys which would take any negative and try to turn it into a big argument against nintendo. If you go to gaming forums, you'd know what i mean Also, i'm almost positive that nintendo is ahead of xbox, i'll find the latest chart and post it asap.Originally posted by Busyman@13 July 2003 - 03:58
uhhh......Get YOUR facts straight. Globally PS2 has 67% market share, Xbox has 18% and GC has 15%. Sales have been picking up due to Nintendo 'giving away' a pick between their best titles (Metroid Prime, Wind Waker, etc.) and now packaging the Gameboy player with the GC. Hey is this a gimmick or smart marketing. I say smart marketing. So maybe the GC WILL overtake the Xbox in the global market. Everyone kicks Xbox's ass in Japan. GC has an 8.3 market share and the X has 1.6. And maybe to the average mother browsing the store, they're going to look at an Xbox...a Gamecube, "Oh, the Gamecube has a Gameboy Player"...lets get that! Regarding DVD you said, "Very true, but since when is this a major disadvantage to nintendo?" When the GC is in 3rd place.
Look dude I never said the GC or N64 has bad games. I love alot of the exclusives. It's just they obviously were the market leader, bucked a trend or arrived late, lost the lead once and didn't learn from that. I'm just hoping they don't screw up the Nexus (or whatever). If they aren't going to SELL a great system but make great games they as a company will fail (at the end of the fiscal year profits fell 36%). The way they haven't 'sold out' is by getting ultra violent games like GTA Vice (but they have RE ) .
If I annoy you, good, you shouldn't take such things too seriously (unless you own Nintendo). You gotta laugh or not respond little bud.
