It isn't that Nintendo are better than Sony or Microsoft (although in my mind they are), but they are excellent show men. Did you see that Mario fountain at Spaceworld, the Pikachu car, The Gamecube unveiling, everytime a gaming event comes around it is Nintendo that hit the headlines!
Using Spaceworld is a little unfair but it is Nintendo only but E3 was to be a Gamecube bonanza and more infomation about the X-box than ever before! So I expected it to be Microsofts big event! But Starfox adventures and Super Smash brothers is what everyone is making a fuss over!
So Nintendo do have the capabilities to advertise their products better than even Sony! If Nintendo can make a show of their products all the time then maybe it will be Nintendo sitting on top of the gaming market!

It is important to remember that the undisputed "winner" of E3 for the last 2 years has been Sega simply due to the software line up.
Nintendo- thanks to the new zelda's mario's and the like- will take this role convincingly

That can`t be right. There were supposed to be half a million in America on release day, and they all sold out. PS2 was limited but the number available not the number of buyers.
Maybe it means sold in those days, not including the ones that had been preoredered and already bought.

Compare and i'll think you'll find being able to play snes games in the car is a very attractive prospect esspecially as it can improve on the snes.

I'ld have to agree Nintendo have so many Mascots..Mario, Pikachu etc.. using these its easy for Nintendo to get some attention and free advertising. All the game characters with any influence on the playstation are from third party companies. Microsofts biggest Mascot is the Office Assistant...they need help!
