User blog comment:Dream Era/The war continues...../@comment-3448772-20140505204216

Unfortunately I'm not terribly familiar with the era of the console wars. However, these days the quality of games isn't really very much an issue, most of the big game companies out there, Nitendo, Sega, Sony, Microsoft, all make good games. It's not an issue of any of the games being by default bad, but really more of personal preference. Not everyone enjoys 3rd person shooters, not everyone enjoys 3D platformers, but they all tend to be quite good these days (not taking into account personal preferences).

I don't think we need to worry about Nintendo disappearing as a game company. It has a very strong foothold in the gaming market, offering great appeal to younger gamers which other console providers often look right over, while still offering appeal to gamers of other ages. Nintendo has been shown to bit a bit rocky in the media these days with the slow starts of the 3DS and Wii U, but those issues have just been blown way out of proportions by the media these days.

Interestingly, lately there has been a lot more cooperation between Nintendo and Sega. I'd love to see more future cooperation between the two gaming companies as it should likely have interesting results.
