Ok was your point nintendo makes nice cakes :P I see what your saying but i think many other developers put the same amount of effort as Nintendo. To me GAME and SR are just cake shops.

All we see is the final product. The cake that has been baked by these companies.
If the cake tastes bad then it is rubbish and wont get eaten.
It may sell well, but until it is tasted, we wont know how good it really is and how much effort went into it.
If lots of effort did go into a bad cake, then maybe the makers of the cake should seek a new career.
This metaphor business is making me hungry.
If the cake tastes bad then it is rubbish and wont get eaten.
It may sell well, but until it is tasted, we wont know how good it really is and how much effort went into it.
If lots of effort did go into a bad cake, then maybe the makers of the cake should seek a new career.
This metaphor business is making me hungry.

Ok i agree with some of that. But i dont feel that some companys put in more or less effort in to there games. They probably do but you or me cannot judge such a thing. All we see is the front door...

True, Microsoft do release some good stuff. I'm not going to argue against that.
I still feel that Nintendo puts that little bit more effort into games than Microsoft. I'm sure Microsoft will change that in the future - for example if their Rare team make a few more games a little quicker, they'd develop a much bigger reputation for excellent quality games. But as it stands, I can only name a few classics (not as in budget games) that they've made.

Yeh but i think Microsoft churns out some good games. Some publishers may release tat but not all. So Nintendo is diffrent to all the game companys.

Exactly. Most of what Nintendo churns out is decent.
However some companies bring out tat and rarely anything but tat.
That's the Nintendo difference.

Yes, and they've paid the price for it.
But it isn't to say that the Game Boy games were bad. Just the prices.
No one has said that Nintendo aren't trying to earn money. They're trying to earn money as well as to feel pride in their work. Otherwise, how else are they going to justify spending money on the resources in the company.
However, you look at Sony and the Eye Toy. Good idea, terrible games so far. The only decent one being Kung Foo so far.

However, you look at Sony and the Eye Toy. Good idea, terrible games so far. The only decent one being Kung Foo so far.
