| I always hear, "such and such companies should join up and defeat other company." Well, it's time to see where we stand; if the three major console-producing companies were personified as humans of the opposite sex and inserted cartridge into slot A, which ungodly bastard child would you most anticipate the arrival of? G's up, votes down and yes, this will be on the test. | |||

| Nintendo and Sony. Microsoft needs to die. Those two can do it.
Plus, the tale of the short, fat kid that's always being made fun of by the bigger kids (even though he's a really good person on the inside) getting together with the tall, thin, rich girl is always heartwarming. |

| Hmmm, something's not right here... If Nintendo is a guy, then Sony would have to be a girl for them to have a child. If Sony is a girl, microsoft would have to be a guy for the same obvious reason. But if both Nintendo and microsoft are guys and would attemp having a child, someone could get seriously hurt!
On a side note, the name microsoft doesn't sound that potent to me  |

| Nintendo and Sony already did. Where do you think the playstation came from? (i bet nintendo is still kicking themselves for backing out) | |||

| Well, Nintendo and Microsoft just doesn´t fit that well together. Nintendo goes for durability and Microsoft is almost the opposite. But I might be wrong.
I went with Sony/Nintendo. |

| I picked Sony/Microsoft.
Because nobody else picked it. And because my favorite current-gen consoles are part of the companies. |

| If Sega hadn't screwed up they would probably be collaborating with Microsoft today. They already had a close relationship with the Dreamcast using Windows CE.
They are making new arcade hardware based on the 360, though. (edited by GeckoYamori on 01-21-06 01:37 PM) |

Sega and Nintendo have already colborated though, havn't they? Unless I imagined all the Sega software on the GBA, GCN, and DS, and the Triforce arcade hardware..but if we had to have an alliance, the Sony/Nintendo path would appeal to me the most  I like games on both systems better than XBox titles, for the most part. |

| They released some software for both Nintendo and Sony hardware but it seems most of their efforts have been concentrated on Microsoft's end of the table. Xbox more or less picked up where the Dreamcast left off; PC-friendly hardware allowing for easy ports, great online support and most franchises like Shenmue, Panzer Dragoon, Toejam & Earl, House of the Dead, etc carried on using that particular hardware.

| Sony & Nintendo definitely, Massive graphics plus game replayability. Also Sony used to publish Nintendo games before they had their own console. | |||

| Sony manufactured the SPC chip for the SNES, and the Playstation was originally supposed to be a CD addon for the console. For some unknown reason Nintendo decided to cancel the contract to partner with Philips without even notifying Sony about it, ultimately causing the biggest turning point in the history of the industry. | |||

Originally posted by Apofisu You have your story wrong. They hired Sony to work for them to help make the add on for the SNES that never came out. Once sony got some licenses and knowledge of consoles, they broke away and made the Playstation. |

| You're both wrong; Nintendo cancelled the partnership because the higher-ups did not like the idea of helping Sony into the console industry. | |||

Didn't they already try to buy them, and the deal never went through? Ehn, I vaguely remember something like that  well, whatever. That'd be pretty lame if they did, to say the least. If I ever see Master Cheif anywhere near a Smash Bros. title, someone is going to get hurt. |

| I'd like to see MORE competition. Otherwise Nintendo is going to be forced into a corner because there is no such thing as competing against Sony and Microsoft in the Grand War of Fiscal Attrition | |||

| Wait. How can three MANLY COMPANIES bear children? Oh? You mean...OH!
Well, Microsoft and Nintendo can't be that bad. We've all seen VTech, and it isn't so bad. Sony and Microsoft, means defective computers and equipment. But Nintendo and Sony? That means kiddy electronic equipment. Disturbing...X_X |

| Uhm.... The low projected price of the Revolution combined with the fact that the Xbox 360 is setting itself up for a possible commercial failure and the iron-hard advent of the PS3 suggests that Nintendo may actually have a foothold in the coming console war. The DS is a fierce competitor with the PSP (personally, I've seen DSes and DS games outselling PSP games and PSPs and accessories by far at Toys R Us around here, if that's any indication of the market), and the Gameboy Advance is STILL an amazingly strong platform that will continue to bring in large amounts of revenue for a long while. | |||

| *looks at avatar*
*looks at thread* *laughs* Originally posted by Monochromatic feline Eh, where I am at, PSP is the better system. A bunch of sports-loving graphics-need-to-be-realistic bastards who think Nintendo has the better games, but would still rather play their PSP. Allow me to repeat: they (and I quote)"know that Nintendo has better games", but they don't want the DS because it doesn't have good graphics, won't let you watch movies, and won't let you listen to music. And they say for the new systems, they will get the 360 and PS3. They won't get the Revolution unless it was 50 dollars. I ask why not, and they say it is because it is made by Nintendo.* Therefore, if two companies got together to make a successful alliance based on the above information, it would be Microsoft and Sony just from the consumers. While it wouldn't be a good alliance since they both are more concerned with other matters than the games itself, it will succeed from a huge fanbase who like the companies work of the Playstation and Xbox. If Nintendo was in partner with Sony or Microsoft, the latter company would catch their attention. Now, that was for a successful partnership, not one that I would see. For my opinion, it would be Sony and Nintendo for reasons already mentioned. *All information obtained through opinions from school, old job, and MySpace conversations. Therefore, flaming over this bit is just going to make you look stupid... since how are you going to argue with other people's opinions if you can't talk to them? |

Last I heard DS made up 55% of all console sales in Japan. 
Anyway how about none of the above? Sony makes shitty hardware and simply can't be trusted, and Microsoft... hell, you've all used Windows.  I don't mean to come off sounding like a fanboy, but just look at their history. PSX, PS2 and PSP all had/have major hardware problems, with early versions just plain not working and later ones having a 1-to-2-year life span. Then there's the fact that they don't give 2 shits about their customers (deliberately making their products incompatible with everything else, virus-infected CDs, and ridiculous markup). Xbox/360 wasn't all that great in the hardware quality department either, and seriously, they really need to learn how to check buffer lengths. Nintendo's hardware, save for maybe the NES, can survive just about anything and generally lasts between 5-10 years or even longer depending how well you take care of it. (The only real problems I've seen is the cartridge connectors coming loose, which can be solved by jamming folded-up paper in with the cartridge, or in the NES's case another cartridge and the Gamecube's sticky eject button which can be solved with any random book.)
Besides, any teaming up of two of the three would pretty much mean death to the third, meaning no competition. Without competition, prices skyrocket and quality plummets. (edited by HyperHacker on 01-22-06 01:44 AM) (edited by HyperHacker on 01-22-06 01:45 AM) |
