well I say that nintendo EAD is the greatest developer of all time bar none and that every nintendo system is worth the price (nintendo hardware has always been the most reasonably priced) of entry for that reason alone..
Nintendo will never regain it's mass market appeal (if SNES could have even been considered as having mass market appeal in comparison to the playstation), but it will always be at the forefront of gameplay design, gameplay innovation through hardware, and the fundamentals of gameplay that directly contribute to enjoying game experiences not just immersion. In many ways I find Sony and Microsoft to be entirely short sighted in their approach to the next generation. If indeed high budget blockbuster games is the future of this industry then we're in even more trouble than we are now in terms of the increasing lack of diversity in games. I'd rather have 1 katamari damacy, sam & max (or grim fandango), or vietiful joe than a thousand world war 2 and movie cash in games.. Nintendo next generation will be the only console making any hardware driven gameplay advances beyond the aesthetic and the only platform supporting independent developers.. for you to make a flippant remark like that is a spit in the face to all that is good and pure in this industry..
