I love his balls.

Quite an interesting read, if only to hear him slate Microsoft for losing a "****load" of money on Xbox everyday.

And about the new GBA: "Right now it is rumor and speculation that we're working on the new GBA. But we've always got things up our sleeve. So uh, wait for E3."

Shelly Friend.. almost as idiotic as Go-Sen.

"GameCube? I think the entire industry by how well PS1 sold after the launch of PS2. Whole different price point, whole different consumer base. We learned lessons well. I wouldn't be surprised if you saw quite a bit of ongoing support for GameCube, well after the launch of Revolution."

Even I'm a little impressed.
I liked how he was talking as much as a fan as a "PR man" (that woman who used to do the NGC interviews used to really annoy me with her "It'll be good. No comment. No comment. Have it covered. No comment. No comment.") and I guess you can tell that he's still relatively fresh to the job.

The only question I have is how much is HIS conjecture and whether Nintendo are quite so smart, that they're following up what he's saying...

Perfect thing to say.

That's doubled my interest in the next Nintendo console.

Now what's the next one called again?

Because their ads are also mainly crap but they don't show them as often? ;)

I don't get the slating the DS gets for not looking good from some dullards here. It's not the sexiest piece of kit ever but it ain't ugly. The Cube is ugly, the DS isn't.

The DS isn't shiny, it's a dull grey, like the breeze block the design was based upon.

What I can tell you, what I can tell the owner of a nice, shiny DS

Aha, that doesn't sound very PR to me.
He sounds like a kid.

"I've got a nice new shiny DS"

Having watched a lot of crap about the Xenon, I realise even more why Nintendo rule.

Aye, and DS online this year too. Great stuff.

Baby Mario 64 you could call it.
