The hedgehogs faced this dilema. After the Dreamcast failed, they had nowhere to go, so they chose to become sheep. And they lived happily ever after, enjoying their SEGA games that were now exclusive to Nintendo.

But what if YOUR company had to back out of the race for some reason?

What if Sony had to back out because their PS3's aren't selling and they lost billions of dollars in it? Where would the cows go?

What if Microsoft had to back out because their Xbox 360 failed not only in Japan but everywhere else? Where would the lemmings go?

What if the Wii or the DS never existed? Where would sheep go?

I (a mantisheep) would go to be come a Hermit. PC gaming is looking good these days, and the new Games for Windows service makes it easier to be a hermit than it was before.

Where would you go?

I'm not a fanboy, but I do favor Nintendo. I suppose Microsoft is my next favorite, but I support all gaming platforms.

If Nintendo quit (yeah right) I would go to Microsoft, but I'm already getting a 360.

He's not sayiong that they will. He just wants to know if a miracle happened which company would you go to next. BTW, my main company is Nintendo and if they backed out I would go to microsoft because they have more games that I like than any other and the online service is great.

I finally understand all the "cow", "lemming", "sheep" and "Hermit" stuff is all about.

 

I have 2 consoles xD Dunno what to pick, I would probably become a 'Hermit' :idea:

Nintendo because it's cheap, and were MS to drop out i'd probably go casual.

Not true. Some of us became the first generation of Lemmings. I know JSRF was why I bought my Xbox initially. I used to be a Hedgehog, but I think having the carpet yanked out from under me, so to speak, is why I play around with all the systems now.

Sega supports Nintendo more than any other company.

Not really important to what I meant because they are not exclusive to Nintendo. They are far from it.

I'd play more PC and get a 360 premium when it's down to $300 (not that I don't plan to anyway).

If MS (currently my machine of choice) were to go down under, I don't know. Chances are I'd turn PS3, though full-fledged hermitdom is tempting.

I always prefer to have a console on hand even if I have a decent PC rig, just because it tends to be easier to have games with 2-3 friends around (not to mention, sports games minitournies and rivalries are so much easier on console...)
