When you hear the word 'Nintendo' you think of a games company that is the home of Mario, but somehow Nintendo still lagged behind Sony with it's big hit the Playstation 2(PS2) but now out of the blue came a big wad of cash for Nintendo to buy up Sony! As well as the Gamecube (which is already out in Japan) and the Game Boy Advance which are two of the best consoles in the world, Nintendo have delivered yet another surprise for us.

When you heard the word Sony you thought of TV's, CD players and other things like that but a lot of people I've talked to didn't even say Playstation so nintendo proved the king of consoles and now taking over Sony it will be the greatest thing to happen to Nintendo.

Nintendo hac been doing games for about 20 years and Sony have been doing games for about 5 years so why did nintendo last longer? It is probably because Playstation was based around, sports, fighting and shooting games that it didn't have enough games for younger children and the N64 was based around everything you could think of, and the best known character-Mario- appeard on a lot of things from choclate eggs in spain to mario logos on trucks!

So what do you think is Nintendo or Sony better? Well it doesn't look like you have much of a choice sinse only Nintendo is left and so......

NINTENDO IS THE BEST!!!!

You have been reading the story of Nintendo

see y'a!

Eh??? Firstly, Nintendo is lagging behind Sony because Sony have far better marketting, and paid much more attention to the customer and game developers when they made the PSX than when Ninty made the N64. Oh, and what's this about Ninty buying Sony... eh? Now there's a joke.

What makes them "the best". The answer is that the ONLY thing that makes console good is their games. Clearly, the GC will have some greats like Zelda and Mario... but is the PS2's range of games so bad? For every Zelda the GC has, the PS2 has a Final Fantasy. Both of these consoles are great.

On the contrary, the fact that Sony has a MUCH bigger share in the console industry compared to ninty proves that Sony have done a great job in spreading the word about the PS2. Almost everyone in the UK will have heard of the PS1 and PS2... only people who pay particular attention to the gaming news have even heard of the Gamecube... there haven't even been any ads!

Because they entered it earlier perhaps?

It is probably because

So it's a bad thing that Sony have plenty of adult orientated games and a good thing that Ninty make more kiddy games? Well blow me away! I'm so sure the PSone was far more successful than the N64!



So what do you

My word, you lot just can't resist can you.

"Oh no, someone has a different opinion to me, must list games in pointless bid to change someones opinion to my own!!! The world depends on it"

See what happens when you be funny Ant! Opening the "console wars door" is no laughing matter!

Still, now we have some names for FOG (pre school), so its not all bad.

Have a nice day :-)
