Think, just for a minute or two. Good, now UNDERSTAND that Sega have a great console here with the potential for it to succeed this Xmas or collapse - which it could well do. No think that Sony have messed up for real with the pricing and availability of Playstation2 - There's no way that the mainstream audiences will pay £300 for the console alone - and £30 for a memory card, and who knows what for a game. Maybe Sega will survive due to Sony's ruthlessness and maybe they won't - maybe Sony won't survive. Who knows? One thing that I know, along with a hell of a lot of people, is that Nintendo ARE in the strongest position of them all - and they know it. Giving very little away about their new console and raking in hoards of cash from that franchise called Pokemon (you may have heard of it) and when the time is right you know/ they know that their console will deliver. Nintendo originally were the kings of video gaming (admittedly they were the first and only company at the point when they were kings) and brought us gaming revolutions like Mario (1,2,3,64 etc....) and.... Mario Kart etc. Well, OK, so Nintendo were and still are obsessed by their little Italian guy, but they gave us (sold us) FUN games - the kind that you always want to go back on and play again and again. And now they have the potential to do it All over again, and they will.
While Sony lose face over allegedly 'ripping off Britain' and promising more than they can handle, and while Sega re-launch their Dreamcast console, it seems to me that we'll all - young and old - be playing - experiencing more magic from the masters.
You might agree or you might not. But that's MY thoughts.

With Sony's high pricing and poor games, the DC could pull through. Maybe we'll be left with a Nintendo vs. Sega situation- how cool would that be! Mind you, MS has put billions of pounds into Xbox advertising, and has even bought bungie!

I agree with what you have to say about the Dreamcast being so good, but shadowed by Sony-monoplising comapany. I believe also the PS2 is going to be a failure for a number of reasons. The price is high as you mentioned, the broadband modem is a encouraging aspect, but do you know how expensive it is!
You did mention Nintendo are in control, I do have respect for them, but maybe their waiting game could be a bad idea. What if the PS2 is a huge hit, Nintendo will be kicking themselves screaming "why did we wait." Time can only tell, but I hope Nintendo steal the game industry from Sony so once again, we can enjoy suped up versions of all the classics : Zelda, a possible Bond licensed game, and the classic marios. I do hope the Dreamcast pulls through this christmas, by the look of the games they have up their sleaves they should do it with ease, but life is never that simple is it?!
