Saved from? Is there a meteorite that's about to hit Japan or something? Is there money on fire and creating a huge inferno? You need to be more specific.
Oh, I see. You either don't know that the Wii is selling far better then any other console or you're a troll. Either way, the Wii is not a failure by conventional measures.jamesbrown said:
You shouldnt take Sterling's word as god's. Just saying.
Anywhere, is htere? I suppose. They could make a more dedicated console. The gamecube wasnt the greatest thing, but it was still dedicated. it could pull graphics when it wnated to, and had a relatively decent catalog by the time of its end (though its still sold in stores. gamestop has one for 30 bucks used, and thats not bad for a pick up console). they can still make casual games, like the Wii stuff, but have more titles like Pikmin and stuff. Its kinda sad, but my mom just recently bought a wii, and all i've used it for is to play GC games.

IIRC, the Wii has sold more units than the Xbox and the PS3.jamesbrown said:
when the OG DS came out, it didnt put out stellar numbers, but then they came out with the DS lite, and BAM, back on top. Nintendo is doing, and will continue to do, fine.
Well... there was that enormous earthquake that killed tons and tons of people... but other than that Nintendo is in a bit of trouble. It's starting to feel the backlash of relying on just reprinting old properties and not being able to come up with any new IP's in the last... 10 years or so? That sounds about right.Twilight_guy said:
Yes they need to be saved from being a huge company that sells a ton of consoles, handhelds, and games. They need to be saved from trying to be innovative and creating a situation where Sony and Microsoft create peripheral devices to combat what is popular with Nintendo. Maybe save Nintendo from message board topics made that only say I don't like them so they must be struggling.
assuming sterling is right.... sure, why not?
I'm not sure how, but looking around would be a good first step and a bit of humility never hurt anyone either.

Please allow me to someday "fail" as much as the Wii has.

Just because YOU don't like the wii doesn't mean it's a failure. So many homes and resorts have a Wii now, and it's still a decent console if you like that kind of thing. When it was first coming out (as I was working in electronics retail) it sold out every time we got a shipment for a whole year.jamesbrown said:
