Nintendo: Difference between revisions

Nintendo is the longest running company in the history of the video game console market and historically the most influential and best known console manufacturer. However, they do have business rival in Sonys Playstation series, Microsofts XBox series, and formerly their biggest rival, the Sega series (which is now reduced to Third-Party work). Nintendo, as a Video Game Company, began in the Japanese market in 1983, the U.S. market in 1985, and the European market in 1986. Over time Nintendo has manufactured five TV consoles and many different handheld portables. They have also developed, and published well over 300 games, and have sold over 2 billion games worldwide. Nintendo has also sold very well among other consoles. Yamauchi, when he announced the [[Nintendo GameCube]], stated that people don't buy a Console for the Console, they buy it for the game they want. He also believes that a Video Game Console should be solely for Video Games, never anything else, in opposition to the Playstation 2's built-in DVD Player. These things are why he always makes Nintendo's Consoles the cheapest in price, compared to other consoles. If one watches the Nintendo Wii games, and compare it with the NES, they will see just how far Nintendo's gone, from a card manufacturer, the one of the richest Video Game companies in the world. All Official Nintendo Merchandise is marked with the [[Official Nintendo Seal]].
