Do you think Nintendo could be dying

Ummm... no. I was just pointing out the sequels of Nintendo properties that were forgoten in that list above.

Globally, in terms of units sold, the Gamecube is #2 behind PS2

And The2ndQuest what are you basing that on. Last set of numbers I saw had the Cube trailing the Xbox by 4 million as of Decemeber.

EDIT: Recent figures for lifetime sales or shipments have not recently been updated by either Microsoft or Nintendo, but the Xbox is currently estimated to have sold between 22.5 and 23 million consoles and the GameCube just over 19 million. The Game Boy Advance is the only current generation console whose sales are in anyway close to the PlayStation 2, with approximately 70 million sold worldwide.

Not the link I was looking for. But this is a state of the market at the end of November.

 

Exactly my point. It's this generation I'm talking about, but even if you look at past generations, Nintendo still isn't nearly as bad as the current gen. You look at NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, and all the systems before Sega Saturn, they had some real quality games, with a minority of crappy ones. And besides the 64, I would say that Nintendo is the only company that has had some type of quality control of what's released. PS1, PS2, and X-box are all guilty of a bad ratio of games. For every good or great one they probably have 5 stinkers.

 

That's pretty clever. Got any others?

 

I'm not saying there weren't bad games, I'm saying that there were more good games than bad ones.

 

That's a matter of opinion, but if you took a random sampling of 10-20 SNES games, I'm guessing you'd quickly realize how wrong you are. Not to mention that since Nintendo's exclusive lincense expired, anyone can produce NES games.

 

Nintendo isn't dying. All of the gaming companies are declining. It's just a common thing, if you think about it. We pretty much reached the pinnacle of gaming a few years ago, and now it's beginning to decline. It used to be that all of the games had good storylines, good characters, good dialogue, and (for their time) good graphics. Now, we get a 50 Cent video game. Tsk, tsk, tsk. If this decline increases, we could be looking at things like...Mario throws tomatoes at an old lady outside.
...
On second thought, that kinda sounds fun.
Decline, decline, decline!
