and because japan and the u.s are larger, so Nintendo make more profit from those countries and therefore concentate most of their efforts there. it is also why games are cheaper there... more customers means cheaper prices.

Gensis is what the Megadrive was named in the states the console you refered to was the Gamegear. Snes did win in the end during that war but Sonic was the more popular mascot, not any more though :D
Pikachu is lol!

YOu don't seem to realize the ammount of money Nintendo are making they pratically gave millions away several weeks back to help young developers, Nintendo are rolling in money not as much as lets say Sony or Microsoft but they have no need to beat them, if there console's make a profit which they do then they'll continue to make games for them and that is all that matter, as for advertising Microsoft did advertise more but Nintendo advertised damn well as well they did advertise cube clubs a stroke of genius ok not on microsofts scale but Microsoft only has the x-box if there console department collapses they are pretty buggered (it probably won't) but if teh x-box fails it has nothing else...
Nintendo if there Gamecube fails they have the GBA to fall back on so their need to make sure Gamecube succeeds is less important. Anyway it seems to me as if Nintendo will do better this time than they did last and they made more profit out of the N64 than they did the SNES.

Yea, the snes outsold the genesis, but im not sure about the megadrive. The genesis and the megadrive are not the same thing. The genesis is a portable sega console that played all megadrive games.

If the game industry was left only with a console from Nintendo, not only will they be making supernormal profit but there are many games that would not see daylight in Europe because of the fact that they dont really care about europe so be careful what you wish for.
Hmmmmm.... turkey fever eh... sounds suspect to me!
