Nintendo is making too much money to be bought out buy sony... especially considering Nintendo has a good reputatin with adults (eg adults who buy games for their small children, not adult gamers).
As for the price of games, it has to do with how much money it cost to make them. Games are costing millions of dollars to make these days, so the price needs to stay high to justify investing a couple million on a title. I would gladly play 60$ if online play is included for free.
I get mad when I buy a exensive game and compete in in like ten hours. Maybe one day we will have a home system that will charge you to play games by the hour.. like arcades. I think I would like that less.. considering how much time I've put into socom 2, for 50$

Nintendo as a company dates back to the 40's as a major playing cards buisness
and the 80s was a very profitable time for them also (in worldwide terms they out sold sega 6 to 1)
although they will always be thought of as segas compertision
bank balance wise there in a similar league to sony and microsoft
dont forget that im completly stupid

If sony bought everything i bet playstation 4 would be nothing more than an atari with a fax machine on it.
Competition makes everything better, who wants a one horse race.
I love afterdawn, keep up the posts guys, its amusing & im learning somethin new everyday

well said, to be hionets though i have been dissapointed with nintendo since the N64 and i see my self only bying the revolutoin for a few good games like i did the cube. it would be great if nintendo were to become just a game company then they could spend there time in making the games coz thats what they do best. Zelda, mario, star fox etc is the only reason id buy the cosnole.
though if its only going to be something like £90, i mite look into it, but i totally agree they have lost the grips with the console war now, i mean there new console is going to be no where near as powerfull as the 360 or ps3 which is a shame!!!!!!!!!
Niinetdo should work with comanies like sqaure and help them devlop the next final fantasy so it goes in a new direction or somthing,even though there hasnet been much good come out of Sega since there split so it mite not be that good if an idea.

Kulacool: your partialy right but the fact that game prices have been increased has to do with a world wide experiment conducted by game companies involving all of us. If you recall recently there have been many special edition games released such as Halo 2 which costs 49.99 and Halo 2 special edition which cost 54.99. The reason why game companies started releasing special edition games for a higher price than the regular was to see if people are willing to buy games for more money and obviously many of them were sold. After the success of selling games at a higher price game companies decided to milk it for everything its worth by selling games now at 59.99. So anyone who bought a special edition game actually participated in the experiment.
Plus I kind of like nintendo so I wouldnt want to see it get bought out by sony although I know Bill Gates is rich enough to buy nintendo so he can continue his plot for world domination.
Peace out!

T4 your right about that.. I had always wondered why they released the special editions of games. Of course that doesn't explain games like ESPN NFL 2k5, or Katamari Damacy which release for 20$, and sell very well due to the lower price. ESPN sold so well, that competitor madden dropped 10$ in price that year, and EA decided to buy exclusive rights to the NFL license for the next 5 years! This tells me that competetion is a good thing for gamers, and even if Microsoft could buy nintendo it might not be the best thing..

^^ this is about xbox but it fits in to what the past 2 post say.
Quote:
July 8, 2005 - Microsoft Game Studios announced that the enhanced version of Lionhead's bestselling action RPG entitled Fable: The Lost Chapters will be landing on the Xbox this fall. The title was already in development for the PC and is an estended version of the Xbox game that includes heaps of new content.
Remember all of the locked doors, dead ends, and rumored quests in the original release? Well, Fable: The Lost Chapters opens up many of those areas and is one third longer than the original game. It includes an entire new land featuring the elusive dragon long thought to be hidden in the original release. Gamers will also experience new spells, armor, weapons, enemies, and expressions.
The question likely to be on everyone's mind is how this content will be made available. Microsoft currently has plans to release the game as a Platinum Hits title for the suggested retail price of $19.99. This is a joyous announcement for those who have never set foot in Albion, but the purchase may be a tough call for people who already bought the first game for full price.
