All company's are in it to make a profit, they try to make (in this case) better systems and games to beat out the competition so they'll get more customers and users and then they'll generate more revenue.
Don't argue with idiots because they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
Craig, you're being kind of naive. Big companies like Nintendo care about making a console better than anyone else's, then making LOADS of cash out of it. It's the same all over the gaming industry.
Everything dead needs a funeral. Exept threads. Those just need a lock.
@attacman77 The funny thing is, they have to continuously make good games in order to make money, otherwise they'd build up a crap reputation and their sales would tank in a few years.
So you're wrong. In order for a game company to sustain itself as long as Nintendo has (and do as well as they usually do), you have to care about what you're customers care about: good quality games (most of the time :P)
It's my job to help the next generation, and set a good example for them. And for that I'll gladly lay down my life.
They want money. Early in Nintendo's life it was for the people. Now money's the main idea. People are taken into consideration because they are the ones who buy the products. It's like the farming industry without mutagen.
@Colored-Eden HAHAHAHA! -phew- Now that you're done making jokes, I'd like to point of that Sony and Microsoft make few games themselves and have produced but a few in-house games that are of repute. Nintendo has produced several dozen. Games such as Call of Duty, and any other franchise that hits multiple platforms is NOT produced by any of the console makers.

Lol, I don't think they're just in it for the money. Shigeru Miyamoto himself rides a bike to work, and insists on not being paid more than the other developers, or producers, whatever he is, despite the fact he is obviously more epic than them. He also was inspired to make nintendogs after he got a dog, and ninteneogs +cats after he got a cat. What a chill person.
Shigeru miyamoto is a GOD. But, he doesnt go to work to make happy faces. he goes to work to get PAID. MONEY. do you really think they would EVER do this for free? Now, if you'll excuse me, imma play some [good[classic]] guitar hero.
