Whats this about Newsround ?
The BIGMAN :)
I would just like to say that I saw today's episode and I thought it was bad how you talked about the Gamecube. I would just like to take this time to explain to you why it is called the Gamecube and what is so good about it:
1) It is called a Gamecube because it plays games.
2) Consoles do not need DVD players to be successfull, Ninitendo are a well established company who are not contending with Microsoft and SONY. Their main concern is too fullfill gamers with the experience that they expect from a Nintnedo console. It is known as the 'Nintendo Difference'.
3) The Gamecube doesn't need to play N64 games because people already have an N64, or they are not interested. It would be very difficult to make a console that played BOTH cartridges and Mini DVD's. It would also put the price up, which is a key selling factor for the Gamecube.
