Our industrial market is still a large factor to their profits, correct?

not as large as japan
I didn't compare. You take away American profits from Nintendo (or any market for that matter) and a large chunk of their investments will plummet.
yes but the point is that they're still making money from us but not half as much as from japan so even if they stop selling in america they're not going to die at least not any time soon
Look, despite how much they rock, Nintendo is not fairing so well when it comes to consoles. The Gameboy is the only thing keeping them afloat. Nintendo's "censorship" is not causing their downfall. Their poor marketing, however, is.
You ever hear of a man known as David Gosen? Yeah, he used to be the head of marketing in Nintendo Europe. Know where he is now? Well, last I heard he was the marketing director for the N-Gage. So, if you are wondering what the hell my point is, it is that SQ will have all of Europe backing him. 'Poor marketing' is hardly the word for it. For the longest time we (including a few of my friends) thought that idiot was an undercover spy working for Microsoft, determined to keep Nintendo from doing well in Europe. The SOB did one helluva good job, thats for sure.

I don't recall really stating it was. Perhaps it is their old tradtions to prevent them from 'catching it the times' but I never said it would hinder them.

I'm soo right.. . .
Like so many others have said this is definitly not the end for nintendo, frankly I think 360 will be the last Xbox. The only thing Microsoft thinks of is graphics and power, fact is thoes are the only differences between 360 and the original Xbox. Also the only reason people bought Xbox was for Halo and DOA. Other than thoes you can get almost any other quality games on another (cheaper) system.
Nintendo relies on kick ass gameplay and have always been the pioneers in new hardware ideas (D-pad, analogue stick, touch screen, and now a controller that is like a sword)
Another thing Nintendo and Sony have keeping them around is game liscenses Nintendo has Zelda, Mario, Metroid, and many others. Sony has Megaman X, DMC, Final Fantasy. While all Xbox has is Halo and DOA. Eventually DOA will be liscensed to PS2 so Xbox is going down hill FAST!

HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I love Mega Man as much as the next guy (probably moreso, actually), but it is in no way one of Sony's assets. Not only has Mega Man series' popularity waned over the last decade, but it's not even exclusive. Man, you are retarded.
Well, I have my doubts about that. Maybe I am wrong but I believe I heard that the PSP is leading in sales vs. the DS. If I am wrong fill me in but I would like to see some statistics on how they compare with each other.
An interesting thought that I have about handhelds though is whether or not the PSP and the DS are competiting with things such as the ipod or a PDA. I bring this up as the PSP does a lot of the same things as a PDA or an IPod but still works with cartridges and discs. Maybe I am stretching the connection but it would be interesting to see if the DS competes with other handheld devices.

I haven't heard anything about how their sales figures compare, to be honest.

Nintendo isn't out to make a multimedia PDA-sort of device, unlike Sony's PSP. People will always go to Nintendo when they want to play games.
From all of the websites I've been to. And looking at all of the polls that have been done about all of this. The Revolution looks like the 2nd sought out system and is coming close to the PS3. Some websites were even looking at the Revolution as the 1rst sought out system. So I highly doubt Nintendo is going to drop out of the market. . .

lets see the source of that statement and it will answer a lot of my questions.
There was a poll on RPGamer.com a while ago. I obviously can't link it because it ended. But I remember the results. There were polls on Square Enix fan sites. There have been threads about it on numerous boards I go to. If you want a link, I guess I'll spend some time searching through the threads of my sites. But I'll wait for you to demand a link before I do that. It would take a while for me to find the link.

I would very much appreciate that effort and it would make for a wonderful addition to the thread by giving us a link with the statistics or data or whatever research you found. SO if you feel obliged to do so then by all means, inform us.
