Nintendo is... Well, noone important cares about Nintendo.
Not putting ya down or anything, but looks like you don't really have a valid reason for nintendo. Seems more like a quick dodge or excuse because you couldn't really think of a way to put them down. Truth is, they're coming out with some pretty good games this year. Also E3 this year was one of the better ones I've seen in the last few years.
whee No, their reason is Microsoft's reason and half of Sony's reason combined. I was just being funny.
They're reusing old series, and taking from other consoles when they can't get by on that.
And the others haven't done that before?
Let's face it; all three are recycling MOST of their ideas and series at this point.
There are only a few small differences, which are all in the way each of their consoles operate.
Most of said differences are on Nintendo's shoulders, for not only exploring more into the casual gaming market than the others did[for better or worse with core gamers, but it helped their pocket book and continues to do so], but for also being the first to explore into motion controls as a gaming mechanism with the ancient peripheral called the Power Glove, only to expand upon that idea later via the Wiimote.
Let's take a look at the catch-up game real quick:
On one side, both Sony and Micro took the idea from Nintendo to start getting serious about motion controls after seeing the Wii's ideas for it and the sales it generated, even if the hard-core crowd hated it.
And now that the hype for it is dying out, Nintendo is back-pedaling and going into being at least a little bit less about motion, thanks to the new WiiU's controller which focuses more on button and touch-screen use than motion in most of the games we've seen so far, and upgraded specs.
And while they back-pedal, Sony and Micro flounder in a crowd that is almost entirely disenchanted with motion controls, who desire to see a more subtle mix instead of a full-out focus.[Micro is in a worse position than Sony on this one, IMO, but they'll both survive this. They always have and always will.]
While on the flip side, Nintendo's habit of biding their time worked against them in terms of hardware capabilities, as well as lack-luster online gaming support and a lot of negligence when it comes to core gaming genres[RPG's and Shooters, in particular, were lack-luster. Present, but lack-luster, with a few shining gems hidden in the rough], and now they are seeking to follow in the footsteps of the other two by upgrading what their machine is capable of.
All we've got so far is a report that it is going to be at least 50% more powerful than a PS3, but that's just a preliminary report.
And while they are playing catch-up, both Sony and Micro still make a decent living off of said advantages.
In the end, as pointed out above, there's no shortage of people playing "Anything you can do...." in the gaming industry of today.
The best we can do is roll with the punches, toss out our disdain or praise as we see fit, and hope that the big-wigs will someday get things right as far as gaming for everyone both casual and hard-core goes.
