And at the same time Nintendo cheaped out on their new main system as a company.

You're really bad at economics, never own a business. Nintendo is doing just fine what they're doing, even if you don't agree with them.

Nobody knows business and economics better than internet people. Duh. NinteDOOMED amirite! highfive!

Ah Nintendo, the Wal-Mart of the gaming industry. Someone has to fill that niche.

How on earth are they wal-mart? I don't even understand this comparison. Pick something I don't like and compare it to Nintendo. I would laugh except you probably were serious with this half-assed metaphor.

Both are very large, rich companies that pump out cheap crap for the masses. Fits very well.

Congrats to Nintendo, they sure know how to sell their sh*t.

Bad for gamers though, we'll have to keep up to buy their crap hardware to play their games.

How would 4k textures improve mario and zelda? Don't you have loot boxes to be opening?

You're comparing breath of the wild and the most powerful handheld ever made to what...a Walmart sweater and cheaply produced beef? All righty then. Let's not mention the irony that Walmart sells Playstation 4 and Xbox One products, consoles, and games.

90% of their fortune comes from Pokemon

FACT

Damn near everything Pokémon touches turns to gold, though. The games sell, DS's sell to play the games, even young kids these days still watch the show. It's been successful for like 20 years lol that's crazy

Would it be better if I said Nintendo was the Honda of the gaming industry? Reliable and cheap, yet boring and low performance (the only exception being that Honda does have the Acura NSX)?

Nintendo is more like the Disney corporation. At least they are when they release a successful product.

If that means what I think it means, then call it whatever you want, all I stated was FACTS. I find it funny that the sheep's are in full rampant mode when Nintendo is on the rise (possibly due largely to being the ONLY console in it's generation), but was completely muted when that abysmal attempt at a console (ala:Wii-U) was barely surviving during it's run.

Japanese business publication Toyo Keizai has released its list of the 500 richest companies in Japan, and Nintendo has come out on top.

Nintendo has a whopping 946 billion Yen in net cash reserves, and is - as we know - currently raking it in thanks to the incredibly successful Switch.

Nintendo's closest rival in the video game sphere is Sony, which came in fourth place on the same list. Sony naturally has other interests outside of gaming, such as consumer electronics and smartphones, which makes Nintendo's achievement even more impressive.

http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/11/nintendo_tops_toyo_keizais_list_of_japans_richest_companies_while_sony_is_fourth

Let's see how long this lasts.

PS4 sales are slower in Japan, deal with it!

Wii U, the true competitor of PS4 is dead while nintendo is number 1, pathetic to say the least.

I really wish it were possible to ban people from threads...

Cry me a river for talking back to your fellow sheep. This is System wars, if you cant handle it go to Nintendo fan club. You posting in SW for a reason, dont you ? Some people jabbing Sony, others jabbing back etc .. whats your problem, why so serious ?

Posting in SW for whatever reason then wishing to ban people that have something to say against your own preference or post itself , is the most ridiculous thing i ever hear after 13 years in SW. Go to Nintendo fan club subforum please, you cant handle SW.

EDIT : Its people like you made SW forum almost a dead place and not fun place to be in.

Nah, it's just that your posts give me a headache.

I loved my Wii U. I still think it's an underrated gem of a console. We stood behind its exclusive games. I was never muted on it being my fav system even though it sold like crap. And consumers don't care about "generations." They just buy things. If that's your excuse for why the Switch is successful than you've got what we call a straw man argument.

In Japan. Come on, do the numbers worldwide. Nintendo yearly revenues are 4.1 billion, while Sony is at 9.4 billion. Nintendo will never be bigger than Sony or even EA.

Doesnt matter bro, my original post was what made you mad not if my english are good or if im using '. Keep crying kiddo. As long as you are in SW forum and trying to start something youll be getting all kind of responses. Thats how it works here.

Cry aaaall you want about whatever you can find to cry about, spam flag button like you did in the past if that will make you feel better. Just stop crying though or leave SW if you cant handle it and make posts in Nintendo forum. I wonder how old are you and you acting like this ....

I don't know, EA is doing everything they can to hurt themselves lately. Between the craptastic embarrassment of ME:A and all of the backlash over BF2.

@Bread_or_Decide:

The switch being successful doesn't in any way, shape, or form bothers me, but let's not make it out like this is ownage ammo for the ps4 crowd either. It's a grand merit for Nintendo for the switch to be as successful as it is, but that's it. Stop comparing it to the ps4, like Sony is in potential hot water. From the looks of things, the ps4 won it's generation in overall sales, and that fact is locked when viewing it from Nintendo standpoint, since that generation of console for Nintendo have been discontinued.

Better graphics is always nice.

Lol and don't be too smug about loot boxes and nintendo, don't be suprised if the next ninty game is filled with that crap.

Nintendo has a different grading scale and expectations. When magazines like Car and Driver and Motor Trend compare vehicles, they never stack a Honda Accord up against a Lamborghini or even a Camaro. Yet an Accord is often on their 10 best lists.

Nintendo has a whopping 946 billion Yen in net cash reserves, and is - as we know - currently raking it in thanks to the incredibly successful Switch.

Nintendo's closest rival in the video game sphere is Sony, which came in fourth place on the same list. Sony naturally has other interests outside of gaming, such as consumer electronics and smartphones, which makes Nintendo's achievement even more impressive.

Let's see how long this lasts.

It's summed perfectly there. Nintendo is a gaming company only, where Sony is an electronics company. So Nintendo outdoing Sony is a very big deal.

I think what people need to understand in this thread is that Nintendo has cash reserves. So this isn't stock value, asset value, etc. This is raw cash. Unbelievable. Over $8 billion USD.

Would it be better if I said Nintendo was the Honda of the gaming industry? Reliable and cheap, yet boring?

I guess that's why 5 of the highest rated games of all time were developed by Nintendo. Thanks for the insight.

Nintendo has a different grading scale and expectations. When magazines like Car and Driver and Motor Trend compare vehicles, they never stack a Honda Accord up against a Lamborghini or even a Camaro. Yet an Accord is often on their 10 best lists.

Nintendo is the Honda Civic of gaming. Sony/MS are the Honda Accords. PC is the Lamborghini. Civics and Accords are very much comparable to one another.

Also, OoT, Mario 64, Wind Waker, and Twilight Princess (all 94%+) were N64/GC games, which blew away the PS1/PS2 in power.
