Lets just wait and see ok, predictions never work, if someone had told me 5 years no make that 9 months ago SEGA were going to make games for Nintendo I probably would have rolled on the floor with laughter. But...... it has happened and now that I have finally got of the floor I can see many mistakes being made in the industry, mostly coming from Microsoft, who have tried to sell the XBox to the Japanese and have failed miserabely.

Every gamer in the world has there favorite company, every gamer in the world has there favorite console, but no gamer in the world knows what is going to happen, and that is the sad truth, I personally wish I could know what was going to happen, but I don't. The Games industry is one of the most unpredictable in the world, companies can lose millions in a day because something didn't sell, I don't want to make predictions for such a market, it is just too easy to get the predictions wrong.

If being a gamer for 13 years has taught me anything, it is that you should expect the unexpected.
You or I can't guess what will happen, as all it will be is a guess, tommorrow Nintendo could can the GC and concentrate on the handheld market, oh yeah that probably won't happen, and yeah Nintendo may hold the Royal Flush in there hands at the moment, but hear those words 'at the moment'

Thanks for reading

The Japanese don't like seeing a threat to them as a gaming industry - they are the leading country not America!
