Yes, #Nintendo was always the "family friendly" game system. That worked well for them back in the original 8-bit NES days, when it was only the moms who purchases the game systems. But as gamers have aged, they've hungered for more adult fare. Nintendo has missed out.
Very true. I remember all my friends had #Nintendo Game Boys but I thought it was lame. I had a #Sega Game Gear which was a thousand times better. Still have it somewhere too. But Game Boys stuck around and had new and better iterations. Game Gears disappeared shortly there after. And of course we know Sega got out of the hardware business all together.
Excellent points in this article. And I like your #Nintendo vs. #Sega analogy but you compared Apples to Oranges. Gameboy was a portable handheld. Dreamcast was a console system. A better comparison would be how Sega's 16GB Genesis was better than Ninendo's 8bit NES system or how their full color GameGear portable was better than Ninendo's black and white dinky Gameboy. But like VHS and Beta, Nintendo won out.
Thanks for this. While I still think #Nintendo's #PokemonGo is a ridiculous fad, virtual reality and augmented are clearly the way of the future. $NTDOY
Hopefully today's kids (and adults) will live long enough to grow bored of #PokemonGo. #Nintendo has caused way too may accidents with this game. $NTDOY
