"why nintendo should just give up!!"

This is not meant as a big offenisve remark to people who really love nintendo and the nintendo company but i feel that it is about time that they should give up on the larger game console market. Throughout the years nintendo have always been second best to some other game consoles(that you must all admit), first it was that the master system and the megadrive which clearly overtook the market from nintendo. Now we have the playstation and PS2 and do nintendo seriously think that the Game Cube will be able to stand up against the PS2, in my own opinion the PS2 should outsell the game cube my popularity alone, and games made for it (eg Gran Turismo 3) Could sell the console by themselves. This, compared to the cutsie, sickening twaddle(Mario, Kurby etc...)that has been presented to the world by Nintendo and their associates, will once again send Nintendo's Game Cube scuttling back to it's creators all bloodied and bashed in the same way that the Playstaion duffed up the "more advanced" N64. Every time i walk into my city centre "GAME" shop there is always someone trading in a nintendo64 for a playstation or PS2, never the other way around. I have seen what the nintendo64 could do and to be honest i was not impressed, the graphics were shoddy and blured and the games are still on cartridges!!! aren't nintendo going to learn that cartridges were years ago and gamers have moved onto discs, will the game cube be still on cartridge. I do admit that the gameboy has been very successfull, luckly for nintendo, but look at the new gameboy advance. The technolgy that is being here was being used in the early 90's by sega's game gear (remember that?) and the graphics were still better then as they didn't use a dot matrix screen and it could double as a portable TV, plus the new gameboy advance does strangly look like the poor old game gear.

Muffy, that was quite possibly the biggest pile of twaddle I've read here yet. To reply to your general comment - why would Nintendo drop out of the console market? They are a business and it is making them money so I fail to see the problem.

I agree, Nintendo always have been, still are and always will be the best games company in the world! and their games are full of originality and amazing gameplay which never ceases to amaze, and if Nintendo were to give up, then the console and computer games market might as well give up as well, because Nintendo has made the computer gaming industry what it is today, and they have achieved a hell of a lot more than the likes of sony and sega can even dream of!
slik !_!

We'll let him off as it's his first day, and besides I've heard much worse. He'll grow up in time.

Firstly kid, Muffy, you should know by now that Nintendo machines have the full balance of games.
Yes, they're famous for cartoony games but it's just because these games are so good, they can't be ignored.
The cartoony games on the PS and PS2 are just as numerous only not good enough to be noticed.
If you played these games then you'd actually like them.

You messed up a bit about the Gameboy Advance.
The Gamegear wasn't half as good. It just about managed Master System games and the technology was inefficient meaning only a battery life of a few hours.
The GBA surpasses the power of the Mega Drive and Snes and will survive on batterys for around 24 hours of play.

Anyway, Muffy what you wrote is utter rubbish!

Basically, why would Nintendo want to drop out of the console market when all the critics clearly preffered the GameCube to the X-box and PS2?

I'm not saying the other two weren't liked, just that the GameCube definately got the most attention!

Also, why would Nintendo want to give up when last year they were the best performing videogames company, followed by Electronic Arts, then followed by Sony?

Apparently, developers had to artificially prolong loading times on their games as the on-board memory meant that loading was too quick, ruining the natural flow of a game!

the new smaller discs will also cut the loading times in half of a normal dvd , as the laser which carries the info wont have to travel as far to reach the info on the disc and then take it back to the reciever (or whatever the bits are called) so unlike the playstation and ps2 the loading times will be far less , which lets face it , we all get fed up with waiting. and shigsy also said that he would hate to leave the carts as there are no loading times , so thats why i think nintendo opted for the smaller discs for very small loading times !

Nintedo have The portable gaming market all to theirselves and the GAmeboy advance has become the fastest selling console of all time overtaking the PS2. It sold somthin like 1,000,000 units in 6 weeks over in the US.

WIth GAmecubes lower price i think it can give PS2 a good run for its money. the youger generation cant afford a PS2 so a Gamecube should be first choice for youngsters.

, but look at the new
