If these short games are full of multiplayer goodness I shall be buying a hell of a lot of them.

£100 with a game and those cubes would be flying out of these warehouses.

If they're making shorter games. The games should be cheaper.

Hopefully this might also cut them a bigger slice of the market too.

Me and Mav were talking about this last night.

We say Nintendo should cut the prices on the games/console.

£20 per game.

Oh yes.

Maybe Nintendo need to start some rumours.

You say that but Nintendo alawys think of a way to stay on their feet... it is ever so slightly frightening actually.

You seriously have to look at how Nintendo are failing.

In a way it is not their fault. Due to Sony monopolising the market, which they surely are doing, and Microsoft being the huge name that it is.

After reading the News Article I don't think this news is all bad. It means they will be able to concentrate on new games for the next few months.

Don't you all remember how the Dreamcast sales rose when they said stock was running out? :P
