Gates Doesn’t Like Revolution Controller
Bill Gate$ has expressed his dislike of Nintendo’s upcoming three-dimensional controller. As found on eurogamer.com, Gates goes on to state that Nintendo is “either incredibly wrong, or incredibly right.” I am not sure what to make of this as I am biased towards Nintendo. Nintendo in my opinion has a great thing going, and am a HUGE Nintendo fan. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, so what do you think? Do you agree with Mr. Gate$? Or do you think the Nintendo has made the right decision? I would tell you what I think, but you guys probably already know. Here’s to innovation and new experiences in gameplay! Game ON!

All opinions aside, if this seems like a surprise then maybe you have never heard of a little company out of Readmond Washington.
oops… misspellings maybe Microsoft Word would have found it.
gates is uneasy about this one, since for once a company is trying to go for a huge step in innovation instead of pretty graphics and minor changes to gameplay…sony and microsoft are in for a fight this time around. we may even witness the fall of either sony or microsoft in the gaming world.
Although I personally am not a big fan of the new Nintendo controller from what I have seen and heard; it could be argued that they are showing a spark of innovation. But how will this affect Microsoft and Sony? I think that it is important to keep things in perspective. If you take a hard look at the three companies it is impossible to deny the vast gap in fiscal power between the top two (Microsoft/Sony) and Nintendo. In a lot of ways it is like comparing Wal-Mart to GameStop. If tomorrow the video game industry disappeared and all video game sales and products were gone; only two of these three companies would survive. I do have to agree that Microsoft and Sony are in a battle right now, but I would not hold my breath for either company to drop out of the race. The fact is that Microsoft and Sony can take a monetary hit in the video game realm and still prosper. Nintendo on the other hand needs to succeed in this market or they will disappear.
It’s true Sony and Microsoft have other things to fall back on but look at this http://www.1up.com/do/feature?cId=3147953&did=1
scroll down and look at the graph. Nintendo probably has a litle something for a rainy day. Plus Nintendo is rumored to go into the movie bizniz. And in the +/- 50 years Nintendo is a stock-noted company they only had one year in which they lost money.
Great point! They are the only ones making money off of their systems.
