Topic: Nintendo & Microsoft -- UNITED?

[Mario]

You mean facts like "$ony & now M$ want to be there when that industry booms, so in the meantime are just using the gaming industry."?

Heh, i just noticed this

Nintendo in todays day and age still doesnt want to take part in other platforms that dont have strict quality control. The majority of the Gamecube 3rd Party games that get canned are either extremely "iffy" ports that sold mediocre on the previous platform they where out on (eg Xbox) or got seriously canned in the reviews department, therefore the risk of releasing the now-canned title is huge considering the quality control and classy software competition Nintendo platforms possess.

BS. Why did Nintendo let Charlies Angels on Gamecube while Sony forced it to be delayed because they werent happy with such a low quality title being released for thier console? Oh my god Nintendo consoles are full of crappy ports! Sony are helping gaming by making them fix up Charlies Angels for the PS2. Nintendo are bad for the industry. (thats what a sony fanboy would have said, they are facts, but twisted in an anti-Nintendo way, just like how nonjaggeds 'facts' are twisted to make Nintendo seem like gods and '$ony' and 'M$' look like scum.)

i have to agree that its hard for me take someones opinions seriously when they cant seem to type anything concerning sony and microsoft without using dollar signs to spell their names EVERY single time.

Well, to bad it wasn't Sony's decision to delay CA on the PS2.

If I had enough money, I could get a stupid simple game I made on the GC.

Another thing

Has Nintendo ever made a public announcement or done an interview where they state "M$ know nothing about hardware or software and only know how to setup servers at a huge loss"

? Exactly.

Nintendo doesnt play the arrogant put M$ down games.
However why is M$ and or its puppet publicicts allowed to say Nintendo cant develope good games anymore or Nintendo doesnt want to embrace the digital age because they are a toy company?

Microsoft say things like that for effective marketing, Nintendo do this too, although differently.

Ever seen the Soul Calibur 2 ad? "Soul Calibur 2, featuring Link, only for Nintendo GameCube!"

"Both $ony & now M$ appear to have been "using" the gaming industry to finance and prop-up their other industries which would struggle as stand-alone. "

Which of MS's undustries are failing enough to counteract the success of othes enough to need the VG industry, which they are losing money at, to support?

Another neat thing is that many know that companies want to link everything in homes, it is often in the evening news.

This is all rather painful to read, it wouldn't be so bad with-out the $s all over the place.  And it is obviously tilted.  There was a reason it was locked last time.

The only thing i know for sure is true is MS has constantly barraged Nintendo with insults and jabs , which are unfounded.  Its like they figured, 'if we can't buy them, we'll just do a 180 and pummel them into the ground'  MS  made some of the most arrogant and cocky remarks which should make anybody cringe.  After that, i have no problems with them.  Perhaps they should try showing some respect instead of going the ingnorant route.
