'The next game platform belongs to Sony and Nintendo.'

This is a quote from Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Ken Kutaragi.

Read it again.

Okay?

Doesn't that strike anyone else as slightly odd?

Not that he has dismissed the X-box, but more that he hasn't dismissed the GAMECUBE.

I find this very strange indeed, but I guess it goes to back up the thought that they are not actually in competition with each other, as each machine appeals to different types of people.

Still it's rather odd for a CEO to dismiss one competitor so strongly (as he did with Microsoft in the rest of the article, from Daily Radar) and be willing to share the market with another.

No.

Sony is more geared towards older gamers, Nintendo is for all ages.

The Game and Meka tie Goatboy to a chair, force his eyes open with matchsticks and make him look at Metroid, Eternal Darkness and StarFox Adventures clips

*Slap* - The Game tries to knock some sense into Goatboy!

*Cries* - Meka must really miss his Gamecube Forum.....

Fade Out

Sony is for grown-ups.

Nintendo is for children and those that like to ride on the sunshine bus.

There.
Goatboy has spoken, let it pass into lore.

Planetgamecube found a news update on Camelot's website quoting prices for GameCube software to be around 6,800 Yen or about $56...Say....£40!

But if we add another 10% for shipping and liscencing fees we should be able to pick up 'Starfox Adventures' or 'Metroid Prime' for about £45, same price as GT3 or another top-ranking PS2 game!

Even Steven....if you ask me! Software prices are the same... hopefully the winner will be the company that can provide the best games....

NINTENDO...^_^

I knew he would see sense.....you see the gaming industry in my opinion and most other peoples is all about games....they are the routes of the industry as a hole...and although extra facilties are added to console there is one thing you cant get away with....NO GAMES...

Hey, it might sound stupid BUT even Sony, on top of their DVD facilities and CD playing options have quite a library of games for the PS1 and even the PS2 with titles on the increase...

With so many developers still unsure about whether to develop games for Microsoft, Microsofts gaming future is still very undecided!

Nintendo are focusing entirely on games, Sony have always procuced lots of games through their 3rd party support but Microsoft, despite support from Sega and all the 3rd party companies they've bought out...will need an angel...

...just the 'Halo' won't get the job done!!
