Ok I get into these "discussions" with my dad about games and according to him this is why the GC is going to go down:

No DVD/CD playback - "I dont care what Nintendo said about 'its just a games machine', Ps2 and Xbox are dvd players aswell which makes tham more useful"

No backwards compatability with older Nintendo games - " the Ps2 is a good console because it is has the PSone Back catalogue"

Cutesy/Folksy games - "Nitendo always make games that are cute and kiddie like, so it doesnt appeal to a mature audience"

Nintendo dont have the financial clout that Sony and Microsoft have - "up against them Nintendo cant fund the GC for long"

Theres not enough games available - " the PS2 and Xbox have tonnes more games than GC"

Released to late after rivals - " the Ps2 is selling loads Because it was out first"

Some of his points are valid, but it reveals to me the sad fact that Im am a NInty fanboy at heart as I dispute all the above statements with " yaeh, well Nintendo are, erm, really, erm ,good and I like them"

Ive already got Prime on import and he isnt interested, but he happily sits, intrigued and watches me dither around on Animal Crossing.
And he never plays on my PS2 - all he does is play on my cube - on monkey ball, and waverace and sonic mega collection, and on the N64 - constantly plays Mario Tennis as if his life depended on it.

Give him a slap and throw the controller into his hand when Prime is released tomorrow.

You'll probably have to wrench it out of his hands after a "quick 10 minutes go" turns into a 5 hour frenzy.
