Now what would happen if Nintendo were no longer to be? A company that has closed down and becomes another victim of the cruel business world?
The response of the Playstation fans would be that of celebration as now they can indeed gloat to their disappointed Nintendo loving friends. Yet would the demise of one of the world’s greatest games console be a positive effect on the Playstation?
Lets go back in time, imagine if Nintendo and Rare never made it to the N64 and they had to shut down. What effect would that have on gaming? Mario 64 a revolution in it self, where would we be without the worlds most famous plumber in his amazing 3D world, how far would that set back the evolution of gaming, Zelda that has probably been the greatest influence to many games on all formats now what would some of the games be like without it not as good as they could be that is for sure.
Goldeneye! Now where would first person shooters be without it? No Timesplitters that's for sure, how far would this genre be set back before some clever designers tries to reshape the first person shooter genre in the way Goldeneye did.
Now back to the present what could we be missing out on if the Gamecube fails and Nintendo force to shut their doors for the last time? We may never know which is why I say long live Nintendo because many of us may not think you are the best (I do though) but everyone will have to agree they have helped make gaming what it is today and will help make it what will be.
Here's to the future

How stupid is Nintendo!
Nintendo decided that after the flop of the Philips CDi, that a CD based console would never be able to compete in a cartridge based market. They left Sony with all of the technology intact and didn't ask them to sign anything saying Nintendo had rights to their work in any way, because they really thought that Sony could never threaten them. Boy were they wrong.
Leave Sony was like walking away from a lighted cannon.
Yeah!! Nintendo were the ones that influenced and gave Sony the idea to start making a console so Nintendo started making one WITH them to help out then left, and sony now had the info and technology to make a good console and made their own!!!
If Nintendo were not to further their desinings in consoles, then I feel the playsation would no longer exist, ot it would barbely improve.
Nintendo and Sony have pushed each other to the limit for the past several years. One idea is made and the ohter company will adapt it and hopefully improove it.
If one company was to go, say Nintendo, who would Sony compete agagisnt. No one? Well then they would lease off a bit and not try and advance their console.
Everyone will butt a playsation becuase it is the only avaliable thing. Playsation would therefore spend as little time and money as possibly to make the machine.
I have said before, and I wil say agagin, Nintendo makes sony, and sony makes Nintendo... in my mind(do it doesn't count).
