-- If Sony and Nintendo joined forces, XBOX = history

If Sony and Nintendo joined forces, XBOX = history

It is quite evident Nintendo may lose out soon..however the revolution may surprise people.

But if they were ever to go bankrupt, i think they'd fit best with Sony, i mean The Chocobo/Moogle would look best with the Yoshi/Kirby

have a read of my reply in "Poll: If Nintendo had to go bankrupt, Should it go to SONY or MICROSOFT?". I was basically going to say the same thing in here.

And if the Human Torch and Iceman teamed up they'd be able to regulate the temperature in your house precisely and immediately.

Is that you calcumore?

Nintendo makes huge profits believe it or not. They won't be bellying up anytime soon.

I don't know, As much as I loved Nintendo, Things haven't been the same since Rare was bought by Microsoft, I think that was Nintendo's biggest mistake financially. Rare made some kick ass NES games in the past and right now, Nintendo can only rely on there popular nintendo franchise of games to survive, The new Zelda is coming out and people are anticipating that one, Though not me since I gave up on RPG games a long time ago.

Yeah, letting go of Rare was a bad decision IMO.
Still if Nintendo and Sony joined is like saying if it rained frogs. Nintendo and Sony split up from the system development. I find it hard to believe that they'd ever join forces.

Honestly now, Rare definitely is named that way for a reason. The titles released by the company come in long intervals. Personally, I don't think they helped Nintendo past the SNES/Super Famicom.

They were very close to a merger, way back when. Sony was working for a CD add-on for the SNES. Talks promptly concluded and Sony went its own way. I'm still not sure on the precise reason why they didn't work it out.

You know, What also really pains me, Is that LucasArts ended there suport for the Gamecube after Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike came out, Though I only own the second one, It just sucks that they no longer make games for it, I was such a fan of the Rogue Squadron games.

No worries there. It seems like LucasArts has taken an interest in the Revolution.

No man your all wrong on this one.

Sony was in the background doing all the work, actully Sony made the Super Nintendo and then later on in 1993/94 both Sony and Nintendo were working together on the Playstation.I am not excatly sure what is would have been called. So Nintendo decide to split off the project because they weren't too ipressed.

You can see why Nintedno went with those stupid cartiadges on the Nintendo 64. Nintendo hasn't been the same since the Super Nintendo era.

As for the Nintendo Revolution its still a question

I like how its finally online thorught Wifi

Also I can't wait to play with games from the NES/SNES online

Only con they care more originality they don't care about graphics which is either a bad thing or a good thing.

Half the work.

Wrong. As far as what Sony did for Nintendo, the only thing is the sound chip that's inside the SNES.

Sony was working for a CD-Add on for the SNES. It was already deemed the 'PlayStation' by then (the add-on, that is). They thought they could extend the shelf life for longer this way.

Nintendo did NOT decide to split off the project. Since Sony had full control of how the software would be designed and had created the actual CD add-on, they decided to market the system as their own, which pissed off Nintendo. Eventually Nintendo would go over to Phillips, Sony's rival company, to create the SNES-CD.

Nintendo had a thing for carts. Just look at the recent DS. It still does. haha...

That's pretty true.

Actually, Perrin Kaplan, vice president of marketing and corporate affairs for Nintendo of America, made an announcement regarding the Nintendo's stance on graphics. Nowadays, the only thing left to add graphics-wise is just more shading, shadows, light, etc... How many re-releases of games do you have to go through before the other competitors will be happy with the graphics, you know? The entire graphics shtick is silly and comes to more concern for the newer generation of gamers who didn't grow up with less than 4-bit graphics (Game Boy).
