Mario and Zelda on PS2 as strange as that sounds their could be more truth in it than you think.
Nintendo have been told by some heavyweight financial advisers that they should develop software for other platforms or face financial ruin.
It would appear that the poor GC sales are starting to bite with developers getting increasingly worried about the GC continued poor performance and the lack of software sold because of this.
Producing for Xbox and inparticular PS2 would add a much bigger user base up instead of the limited one they have now makes sense to me. If Nintendo was able to make more money from software they might be able to produce more quality titles rather than the tripe they do at the moment, hell it might even help Nintendo to sell more GC.

Sounds like another scared Ninty fanboy this forum is the future of gaming not the past.
Why an earth would I wish for zelda and mario, metroid they are all sequels perhaps they should call in the Nintendo Sequel not GC.
It is so easy to pick holes in your so called facts. Nintendo are firmly in 3rd position now, the president has admited he is very concerned about the poor GC sales and that is was as mistake not to make the GC dvd based, and they under-estimated how popular dvd would become (duh any puppet could see that). Another problem is that Nintendo had to scale back their projected GC sales forecast and omitted theirselves that the GC came in a to low a price and that they were losing big money on every GC sold because of poor sales.
FACT.
Just because Nintendo have success on the handheld console market this does not represent the GC poor performance. Nintendo can only for so long flog a dead horse mind you they done it with the N64. I see Nintendo's future being a software developer for consoles and hardware developers of handheld consoles.

I think all the console manufacturers should group together and make one console, possibly named "Omega 1", then everyone can get to enjoy all the different games available and there wouldn't be so many console war squabbles anymore (though I'm sure the ardent zealots would find something to argue about).

I have a PS2 and a Gamecube but I haven't played much on my GC after Mario Sunshine. Nowadays all I play is Pro-Evo 2. I can't wait for Metroid Prime to come out though. That's when the PS2 gets put on the backburner for a while.
Anyone worth their salt knows that Nintendo make some of the best games around. I've been playing their consoles since Sony brought out their own piece of technology which was the walkman! Hah ha Lol!

Nintendo are a very stubborn company - even if they were defeated, they wouldn't admit it by 'doing a Sega'.
And so, Nintendo will remain a single-format company until they either decide to go on to new projects (i.e. away from gaming) or they become bankrupt, which wont be happening in the near future, that's for sure.

Hello fellow "posters", I'm new here. I've just read what's been said and I'm very doubtful that Nintendo would ever release games on non-Nintendo consoles.
What do all you other dudes think?

Back to his comments about Nintendo ripping us off:
Who's the biggest ripoff? The companies which originally sell their consoles for £300 then reduce them to around £160 when sales begin to slow, or the company that originally tries to retail their console at £150, gets told to put the price up to £170, but instead, reduces the price to £130?
hmm...
