Who cares about Nintendo anymore anyway?
Most gamers have grown out of their GC to Xbox 360 and the Sony stuff. |

| I do. Nintendo (or whatever team they decide to license to) always manages to make a stunning game with their franchises that makes the console worthwhile. Metroid Prime 1 & 2 made the GC worth every dime I paid for it. The new Zelda is looking hot, too.

Besides, the last really "great" game I played was RE4 on the GC. Plus Nintendo makes some great games, I'm really looking forward to Twilight Princess.
Xbox 360 is just too expensive. $400 for a console and $60 a game is just too much. You're talking ~$500 just to play one game and there aint any games out there that I can see that are worth $500 to play. Maybe that will change in a year or so, but until then... |

I have played my Gamecube way more than my PS2. And my 360? Got it for free, selling it on eBay. |

You are kidding right? I'm definately upgrading from my cube to the revolution, when it comes out. Screw the Xbox 360 and PS3, I have a computer for the things available on those same-old same-old systems. |

Nintendo carries the only console games worth playing. If I wanted to play anything they put out on Xbox or PS2 these days, Ill just buy the same (or similar) on my PC. |

Nintendo has the largest share of the handheld game market. The various incarnations of the GameBoy have sold millions and Nintendo has the best games on those systems. Sony's PSP sure does look and play great, but the price point will keep it from overtaking Nintendo for years to come. The GameCube might be number in the market, but that in no way counts Nintendo out. |

But can you imagine how many late-adopters are going to be picking up a Gamecube once the new zelda comes out? I think with that Nintendo will be able to overtake the at least the xbox in consumer presence. |

200,000 indivdual users? i doubt it. more likely that is how many times their servers have been accessed by nintendo customers. in other words their numbers of customers is likely 20,000... pffftt.
if Nintendo thinks their customers have their product for anything online, then they are fooling themselves...if they were serious, they would have had it available 2yrs ago. Real/serious online gamers own XBOX or PC. |
