Seriously, have you ever been right about anything? Ever? Nintenblow has been selling obsolete technology since the N64/PSX days.
Seriously, can you ever not be a total childish a-hole? Your smug arrogance would not even be half as annoying if you were even remotely correct in your comment, but you aren't.
Nintendo was not selling obsolete technology, they simply did not jump on the latest tech to keep their consoles affortable.
Nintendo was always far ahead of everyone else with their innovations. Everyone always followed Nintendo.
N64: Cartidges
Everyone else: Optical media with over 10 times the storage. That is, 10 times the maximum storage of the N64 cart. Did I mention that Nintendo wouldn't let anyone make a game that used too much cartridge space because they wanted to be able to say Zelda was the biggest when they got around to making it. You may recognize this as "this generation that every 3rd party developer on Earth told Nintendo to FOAD and went to Sony where they could make make far larger games without expensive cartridge licensing fees and over the top censorship."
Why would we need a DVD drive if at that point in time a cartidge totally sufficed? At that point in time we did not need 10 times more storage. Even though the Playstation had an optical drive, the games on the PS were not bigger, larger or better at all.
On the other side, during the N64 era, it was Nitendo that first invented both the analogue-stick and the rumble-pack, both common features that everyone uses today. The N64 was the first console to have a controller with an analogue-stick and rumble. The Playstation didn't have any of that until AFTER Nintendo released the N64. That's when Sony, as usual, copied Nintendo's brilliant ideas and released a new version of the Playstation with new controllers that had analogue-sticks and a rumble feature.
A perfect example of Nintendo being ahead of everyone else.
PS2 & Xbox: Can play just about any kind of disc released at the time
Lamecube: Plays Lamecube games, which are on minidiscs because Nintendo hates its customers. This is also the reason that the Gamecube doubled as a space heater until it just melted into a puddle of purple plastic.
And in what way or form did the minidisc hurt you as the customer? It didn't. The games on the Gamecube worked perfectly fine. I've also never seen a molten Gamecube, even though I worked at a video-game store at that time, selling AND REPAIRING plenty of those purple suckers. Not once did I see a customer return with a molten or overheated Gamecube.
So once again, you're talking crap out of your butt.
PS3 & Xbox 360: Amazing technology that, for the first time, put PCs to shame hardware wise at the time of release. Sony actually created a new type of optical media and processor for the PS3.
Wiitarded: Screw technology, Nintendo lets you wave your controller around like a 12 year old pretending to be a ballerina, THAT is innovation!
Neither the Xbox360 nor the PS3 ever put the PCs to shame, ever. Not to mention that the cell processor of the PS3 totally sucks balls and is a pain in the ass to develop for (I speak from experience).
And while you can hate on the Wii all you want, it is a matter of fact that the Wii sold TEN TIMES MORE than both the PS3 and the Xbox360. Not only that, but Sony and Microsoft both copied Nintendo's innovations and released their version of motion-controlled gameplay as the Playstation Move and the Xbox Kinect, once again proving that Nintendo is the king of innovations and everyone else is following them.
While I agree that the hardware of the Wii that didn't even play games in HD graphics was quite a dissapointment, I have to add that the Xbox360 and PS3 never truly played their games in full HD graphics at the point of release. The HD graphics of both the Xbox360 and PS3 were fake HD, just standard 576p upscaled towards 720p or 1080p. While the upscaled images still looked better than the Wii's 480p graphics, the differences weren't that big. Only later did we finally see a couple of games that are truly rendered in 1080p on the Xbox360 and PS3. But even today, most console games don't go beyond 720p. If you're playing them on 1080p resolution, you're really just playing an upscaled version of the game.
Nintendo will be so far behind in technology that they'll need a telescope to see Sony and Microsoft's asses. How do I know? I have my sources. They're called "pattern recognition."
Not a chance. The PS4 will have only slightly better hardware than the WiiU. I don't know anything about the Xbox720 specs, but I guess that it won't be that different from the WiiU and PS4 specs.
What REALLY will happen, is that Nintendo's dual-screen gaming console will be a big succes, it will once AGAIN sell TEN TIMES MORE than the Playstation and Xbox and once again Sony and Microsoft will mimic Nintendo by releasing their own version of dual-screen gaming. Pattern recognition indeed.
