Have you seen the Gamecube?

Did you see where the memory cards go?

That's right, on the console, by the pad ports.

Just like the Playstation.

Copy cats.

Milner, ok I know it was sarcasm but

a) I'm not too sure whether he's a kid

b) He's a Notable and has been here longer than me, has dished out (probably) his own fair share of sarcasm before.

c) I'm sure Meka hasn't taken it the wrong way otherwise I'd have been slagged down straigh away.

d) I wouldn't have done it if I was a JAT (Just Arrived Today) or a Newbie but as a regular I think we can get away with that sort of thing.

e) It was meant as a joke but Meka if I've upset you then I apologise.

Jive - sarcasm, okay its funny but this kid is entitled to his opinion so dont make fun of him. But I do agree with you, who cares about the Gamecubes resemblence to the playstation memory card slot positions? Maybe its a little thing called c o i n c i d e n c e

Nintendo not have enough 3rd party support?

Well, they only lost a few developers really when the N64 was released.

And some of them have come back, plus more! (and when I say come back, I don't mean they are exclusive to Nintendo consoles)

Squaresoft have announced 3 games for the Nintendo consoles, 1 for GameCube and 2 for Game Boy Advance under the Final Fantasy name. Sony only agreed to allow Square to do this as long as it didn't effect the PS2's games, and so Square set up their own mini-company with aid from Yamauchi's fund for new developers, and so we will be seeing games from them in the future.

Sega have already released games on Nintendo systems, as well as PS2 and X-box.

And there's even rumours of the Metal Gear Solid games being released on Nintendo consoles, and supposedly (I'm not certain about this) the makers of Metal Gear Solid will be releasing a game for the GameCube.

Nintendo have got all the support they need. For all you know, Sony could suddenly drop out of the videogames market. It almost happened to Nintendo and they were on top!

Shrivel and burn? That's an interesting way of putting it. A bit drastic isn't it?

The base of designing is to take someones idea and to make it BETTER.

Who wouldn't steel the design of the most successful console if it worked for Sony then it can work for Nintendo but it probably won't as Nintendo will just not have enough 3rd party support and shrivle and Burn.
