NIntendo to Pull the Plug if Wii fails?

Pluhg

There has been a lot of talk about Nintendo pulling out of the Video Game industry.

In 2004, Nintendo almost went out after the DS….

Nintendo have announced this morning that there will be no new hardware from the Japanese giant after they release the DS. This will be sad news to everyone who is a fan of the little Italian plumber who seems to have finally been retired.

After impressive industry moves from rivals Sony giving glimpses of the PSP in action and analysts predicting the PS3 will outsell every other console then Microsoft demonstrating their new XNA technology that will drive Xbox2 forward Nintendo were left stunned.

Speaking to I.T. Vibe, Kan Yu Takajok, senior hardware developer for Nintendo said;

“What’s the point? We all sat round and watched the Sony PSP demo and realised we’ve been wasting our time for the last 15 months”

Nintendo’s move mirrors that of the other long time Japanese giant Sega when they decided to pull the plug on their hardware side.

Nintendo are apparently still undecided on whether they will keep producing games.

A spokesperson said:

“Gamers these days don’t want innovation. They’re more interested in playing GTA2005, FIFA 2009 or some other jumped up franchise sequel, gamers just don’t want innovative and original games like Mario 256″

So we might have seen the last of the little red plumber after all.

But now, Nintendo might if Wii fails.

But this maybe highly unlikely since the Wii has much popularity.

PS3 forums are talking about it, even the people that were razzed up for the PS3 or changing sides.

Lets just hope Nintendo doesn’t want to do this…

    Do not post BS like this thank you! You scared the shit out of for about 50 secs. There are far to many spelling mistakes in that. Also Nintendo DS has sold over 21 Mill world wide so this is so BS! Do not joke about what is not funny. If Nintendo leavens gaming ever so will i. Nintendo Would never ever say that a handheld that sold 21 Mill and has many Mill$ games would have been a wast of 15 mouths or whatever the BS was wrote on this Piece of shit. Not even funny at all. Try to make me believe it with fact next to who ever wrote this. Fact is 21 Mill sold in a faster time then GBA did meaning DS will easy beat GBA at a faster selling rate.Wii is also getting to much love with games like Far Cry Wii, red Steal, Mario G, Rayman raving Rabbits, Dragon Quest Wii, FFCC2 Wii,Zelda TP Wii the list goes on and on in third and first party games. Sony Fanboy bastardies need to get a life and Microsoft lovers should stop the Halo 3 will rule all and get rid Sony and Nintendo BS, yes Halo is great but Zelda is greater!This was full wast of my time and fulls no one is ultra fack and far to basined to be real, no link proved for Prof on Nintendo.com or any think. Get a life you loser who ever you are that wrote this shit up.
