DS doing very well in Europe, traditional game manufacturers still compete against Nintendo, and a Nintendo Spotting right outside the Lincoln Tunnel in NYC. Woot!
I highly doubt Nintendo had any part in that contest. Blame the radio station and not Nintendo please..
I don´t believe it either. But if they are… they´re doomed for let´s say 100.000.000?! I freaking hope they are able to spend that money on N´s next knock out.
Of course Nintendo had a role in it! Weren't they who approved of the name "Wii" for the console in the first place?? You knew where that was going to lead to, eventually!
Naming Wii Wii is not an argument. The point is; did they sponsor that radiostation with a Wii and get publicity with it/ – or did they approve to be mentioned in this contest. If they didn´t participate like that, then there´s no worries.
microsoft and nintendo aren't really competitors… not unless they start making standard games with standard controls on the wii… games with extensive focus on online play and graphics…
actually nintendo is making games with standard controls on the wii.and they are in competition to a degree, while not being so in others. when it comes to online play, it will always be 360 competing with the pc, but 360 will have a very small market if thats all they focus on. if they want to expand out of the online/graphics market they will end up competing with nintendo, who are going after everybody else: casual gamer, non-gamer, hardcore gamer. if nintendo replaces PS2 as the machine to get the most games that definitely makes microsoft their competitor.because believe it or not, but microsoft wants as big a market share as they can fight for. they just arent good at doing so. no gaming company wants to turn down so much money. but if nintendo becomes popular enough microsoft has less chances then ever to gain support.though maybe i am wrong. so few if any of their games so far do not focus on realistic styled graphics, so maybe they really are happy with a niche market. in that sense, because thats also the small market ps3 is going for, maybe those 2 really are the only ones competing with each other this round.
I believe Invisibleman was joking.
