"iQue to get official release outside China"

Good news eh, adding it to my Xmas list as we speak

One of the reasons is this;

What's better, a console the size of a controller, or three big consoles which is near impossible to fit under your TV along side all the current crop of consoles?

I'd think most people would like the 3 in 1 console the size of the controller. Much more space efficient!

:)

Why not just buy those systems though? Far cheaper and if you're really bothered about retro stuff it's better to have the genuine items than remakes for this new thing.

If Nintendo port more of their back catalogue to the iQue, which should not be that difficult seeing as they have all the old source code, then it could be a good opportunity to get some revenue out of old intellectual properties. Because I know that if the iQue came out over here and had all the old NES, SNES and N64 games I would get one, and buy games that I used to have all over again.

What's the point? Anyone who wants old games can get a second-hand N64 on the cheap, not buy a whole new system for them.. and what percentage of people will want to play old retro games? I'd be surprised to see it released outside Japan if it goes further than China.

95% of people in China are scared of games?

My God.
