I laugh at your general direction.
Nintendo is hardly screwed. |

On the other hand, I'm left-handed. |

Not really, they've got a big enough userbase to gain profits from whenever they ever decide to put out a good game (which, currently seems now, with the release of SM3DW), but I was talking more about the entire company itself. |

| So what if Nintendo goes 3rd party? They are becoming ever so irrelevant anyways. |

@xcalibur
Tell me this ; what do kids play more of these days? Action games, like Battlefield and Call Of Duty, or Mario and Donkey Kong-esque games? I don't particularly like FPS games, though I do play them ; but you can't ignore the increasing irrelevance of Nintendo games.

However, they are still not an irrelevant company by any stretch of the imagination.
I would argue more about the accuracy of your fact, though I don't have enough strength left in me to search for credible sources for my information, as I'm going to get some shut eye. |

Nintendo has literally been rehashing the same few franchises since they were released. Think about how little a series, for instance, like Mario has changed. Sure, it's graphics have only gotten better with time, but has it's gameplay really changed that much?

You're right! Mario totally doesn't go back and try to polish their games/ look for alternative takes for new mechanics, I mean, just look at it's comparison with God of War!
First games:
Super Mario Bros:
i1-win(dot)softpedia-static(dot)com/screenshots/Super-Mario-Bros-Screensaver_3(dot)png
God of War 1:
www(dot)google(dot)com/url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&docid=242DtXa7pNmLWM&tbnid=fJNIpkJHqtfdpM:&ved=0CAUQjBwwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww(dot)thebuzzmedia(dot)com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2007%2F03%2Fgow_2(dot)jpg&ei=h0qhUpvmLsq3kgXMuIHgBw&psig=AFQjCNHzHqN153-1pLTFAlh1A3u7f2Rfsg&ust=1386388487816775
Now let's look at somewhere in the middle:
Super Mario 64:
img(dot)gamefaqs(dot)net/screens/c/d/1/gfs_28034_2_3(dot)jpg
God of War 2:
s(dot)pro-gmedia(dot)com/videogamer/media/images/ps2/god_of_war_2/screens/god_of_war_2_6(dot)jpg
Then finally the most present games in the series:
Super Mario 3D World:
wiiudaily(dot)com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/super-mario-3d-world-wii-u-5(dot)jpg
God of War Ascension:
www(dot)google(dot)com/url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&docid=z4uGoBRG2fCFnM&tbnid=qjzfnEjHyej1jM:&ved=0CAUQjBwwADgc&url=http%3A%2F%2Fmygaming(dot)co(dot)za%2Fnews%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2012%2F06%2FGod-of-War-Ascension-screenshot-2(dot)jpg&ei=fUyhUs-bC4WNkAWiyIDYAg&psig=AFQjCNHmFNDlqiHmOpkrujQ1H1ckk60XEA&ust=1386388989268533
You're right! MARIO NEVER CHANGES! |

Nintendo is becoming more irrelevant, Xcalibur. Like Shovuc said, kids are leaning more towards FPS and graphics-intensive games nowadays. Indeed, Nintendo used to be top of the line, but their things have started to decline. For example, they haven't come out with a vastly unique thing for a while. The Xbox one and PS4 both have immense changes to them, but as far as I'm aware, every DS since the 3DS has been extremely similar to the previous. They also released the wii mini.
3ds>3dsxl>2ds may've missed some But yeah, there are only subtle differences between those. Nothing game changing. |

Apparently you found this to be a good time to forget all those other versions of the ps3 and x360?
Ever since the start of the 7th generation (heck, even earlier), majority of folks had preferred FPSes, but doing the same as everyone else does not make you relevant at all. Nintendo has a decent enough rep that good quality games that gets published/created by them WILL still garner a decent number of profits, and I bet you they probably gain alot more total profits than most other companies (which usually like to spend their budgets overhyping every games in their disposal, and the simultaneously fire the company that made said game because it was only decent, and that they couldn't accept their stupidity of spending too much money on it.)

"As of 30 September 2013, Nintendo reports 3.91 million units have been shipped worldwide."
"...I’m proud to announce that more than 2.1 million PS4s have been sold."
so you're telling me Nintendo is doing pretty darn well for itself, hmm? You, sir, sound like a giant fanboy. |

Sadly, as much as I'd like to say I'm taking a side here, I'd gladly do the same if either Xbox and Sony practices are mocked. So think of me as a Devil's Advocate. But the thing is, I'm not talking about current sales- I'm talking about how Nintendo will not become irrelevant. And sure, popularity is an aspect of it, but not the only. |

(CONT.)
And if you dare bring up the sales between the PS4 and the Wii U, I suggest we also look at the current sales between the PS Vita and the 3DS.
[taken from VGChartz Platform Totals]
-The 3DS placing at 12 with a 37.84 Global platform ratio
-The PS Vita placing at 21 with 6.4
Also, let's take as well with the Wii U and the Ps4 while we're at it:
-Wii U placing at 23 with 4.09
-PS4 placing at 25 with 1.18 |

if all of those came out at the same time, you'd have a darn fine point. They weren't, though, so that point's invalid for you. "-Wii U placing at 23 with 4.09
-PS4 placing at 25 with 1.18 "
yes wii u has been out for about a YEAR BEFORE PS4 and yet it's only three million under, and it got one million in a day. |

the ps4 has been out for less than a month and it already looks like it's going to get more sales than the wii u
