Mario through the years

Nintendo takes shots because they are both a game company and a console maker. Where as Sony -was- primarily a hardware developer they have brands to exploit, now they do, and they do just that.

See, Sega has its mascots, its brands and it was a console maker too. Sonic appeared and continues to appear in a number of off-shoots though not nearly as numerous as Nintendo with Mario.

This Square-enix and Konami that people keep toting as Playstations sure things aren't exactly as you say. They may get the first games but if Sony manages to flop on it's face because of the price they aren't getting much more.

Both of these companies also have their franchises, that they use and use and use.. Just like Nintendo as that is how you stay alive in the gaming industry by releasing what the customer wants (More Mario, More final fantasy, More Metal Gear) and at the same time rolling out new franchises in order to try to catch a market and have a more diverse portfolio.

This is called the industry, supply and demand. This is how you reach the casual gamer, just like the movie industry reaches the casual viewer. Sequels, spin-offs, remakes, this is big business.

Fat Sony Fanboy,

Let me educate you on Sony. They wouldn't even be in the gaming business if it wasn't for Nintendo. Nintendo laid them off, and Sony got mad, like a little kid.

So your company doen't seem so mature now does it?
If you need help, I'll explain it to you.

The answer is simple. Yes, the industry would be different without Mario. But really, it's hard to say when the outcome has already come and gone. Mario has not only pioneered the industry in terms of how games are made and played, but is also loved by literally millions of players worldwide. There's a reason why the Mario franchise has sold more than 186 million copies worldwide and counting. There's something different about Mario. It doesn't matter how many games he's come out with, or if a couple of them were crap; people still look forward to his next appearance. Unfortunately, that's a double-edged sword for Nintendo. They have these incredible franchise to fall back on since demand is pretty much always there, but on the other hand, Nintendo wants to work on new frachises. New games. Did you read that interview with Miyamoto. Everyone's asking what old characters he would like to go back to and bring them forth to this generation. I think this geneartion while Nintendo will still cater to their fans with releases like Mario, Zelda, etc., you're also going to see new types of games and franchises. Damn, I just dragged on and on. Sorry about that.

Fast forward 20 years.......Nintendo announce no new Mario game for the new console.

Can you imagine the furore.

Nuff said really.

SUPER MARIO UNIVERSE will be a launch title for the next-gen. You heard it here first lol. I apologise, i know, the Wii is yet to be upon us and i do this, but its only logical really.

Im Getting sick of your shit sony fanboy if NINTENDO WAS SO FUCKING BAD THEN WHY THE FUCK DO THEY COPY EVERY LAST FUCKING THING THEY OWN you moron noob. Nintendo makes creates and sony steals and calls it there own. Lets see They stole the button layout from super mario 3 triangle circle square x.(from kamek throwing it.) They stole the rumble pack they stole anolog sticks. They even are trying to fucking steal the wiis hardware. Yeah 100 million Ps3s really, For the price of 600 dollars ok i have talked to all of my sony freinds and half said they are not purchasing that system. But they are purchasing the wii.Why? I think people are going to go to the wii because its more affordable and more fun. Sony rips you off soo bad its not even funny. Even more so xbox 360 might sell more because of the price. ALSO AT E3 WHERE WAS THE SONY PS3 GAMEPLAY DID SONY HAVE IT UP THERE ASS OR WERE THEY TO LAZY SO THEY JUST MADE ubeerrrr graphixxss moviesssss. Also Its been proven fact that nintendo is second not third. The GBA SP + GBA sold more the the ps2 AND look whats happening with the psp and ds what are you an idiot ds is making the psp its pig slave. Thats what is going to happen in japan i mean come on think of the gameplay for this thing its amazing , you can literally make all hand gestures while Ps3 is ooh uberr 6 degrees of motion. What can you do with that well you can make another Kirby's Tilt and Tumble, OH ANOTHER THING THEY STOLE. OMFG THESE SONY GUYS ARE GENIOUSES IM GOING TO SUCK THERE COCK NOW. Graphics dont matter its the gameplay that matters thats why i stuck with nintendo. I bought a sony system to be disappointed to find only 2 games i like all the rest are a bunch of shit games. I mean come on all those games that you mention bore me to hell. Give me Mario Zelda Metroid Smash brothers Mario kart Any Donkey Kong game Wario ware Kirby Star fox Fire emblem All of those = Winners. Just because this country lives off of blood boobs football and jesus christ doesnt mean nintendos games are not bad. Next comment you make i will EAT YOU SONY BOY and im a nintendo man unlike the IMMATURITY IN THE BOY YOU ARE
PS Sorry if i offended anyone except the fony boy over there he deserves it.

Generaly speaking thier many factors that contribute to the sales of a console and in the case of the ps2
its the fact that its made with disposable technology.

things like lackluster cooling fans,a horrible dvd error that cuase the console to not run properly,inadequate design to keep it cool and a video chipset thats know to have severe errors in the resolution the ps2 was designed to use all contribute to fuel ps2s sales also nintendos mistakes helped fuel ps2s sales.The ones im mainly talking about are squaresoft,konami and other 2and
and 3rd party developers shaken by nintendos dedictaion to using cartriges and not cds as a storage medium.

this aside sony capitalized by making the emotion engine...the predessesor of the ps1s design engine that was developer friendly(at the time nintendos
64 wasnt exactly friendly....severe memory restrictions do that).

by my friends calculations you will go through on average of 1.2 playstations 2s per year due to the consoles frailities stated above.as we all know
ps2 has been out roughly a little under 6 years
so its no big wonder why so many sold.

in the xboxes case...it was the online play and the monsterous amount of cash spent on advertiseing
(about 27% of thier losses was in that alone)
and taking a massive risk with the online competitive play(i say risk becuase microsoft helped sega dreamcast with its online capability and seen its failure first hand)even tho thier console sold more ina shorter amount of time they still lost
far more then they gained.

as for mr.mario....who can honestly hate him?as i have seen so far in this "blog"(which seems to be another word for forum)hes fun,fat and always seems to make us feel like kids again.so to the sony fanboy troll person do yourself a favor and play super smash bros,mario bros 3 or even the original
super mario bros ...then come back and tell me they suck and i will gladly show you to you're logical doom.

Doodie,

That's right, vent your anger.
