seriously. i was really hoping this thread would go somewhere.
Oh well. I guess we can't have a Nintendo discussion around here without the trolls ruining it. :rolleyes:
According to Wired magazine, Apple Computer has increased it's profits while losing it's market share, keeping the company afloat even though it should have gone under long ago. Sure a little investment by Billy G helped out, but it doesn't require a massive user base to make money.
Since all that matters in business is making money, Nintendo has the potential to stay around forever. They may not have a commanding sales lead on whatever competitor is winning at the time but they can still turn a profit and make games.
Nintendo could survive as the Apple of the console market :D
And they still have the Gameboy.

As I said in the other thread, Nintendo are being real bitches with the SP distribution. They're just creating more demand for it which is smart I guess but if they had more products available they'd sell twice as more instead of having the customer frustrated and deciding to buy something else. Not anything new in the business of console/games or anything but a reason for its success.
They need to shake their image with their next console and have some huge hitting launch titles to shake the market along with their new look. That and that alone will make Nintendo a house-hold name again.
Also, follow up the first two years with mature and teen franchises. They are making waves, though, by buddying with 3rd parties.
