(sigh!) Sorry, but once again every rational person see`s the Nintendo gameplan unfold except their so-called loyal following. The plan is as follows:
Every few years they will release a games console. This console will be heralded as "the most exciting thing since sliced bread" and will be a "revoloution" or something... However, it will require fans to totally upgrade since this new system is so good it will not have any of this backward compatibility that some rivals claim a plus factor. This will include the re-buying all their older games yet again because the new system either uses a different size cartridge or a newer cd based medium.
Secondly, the system MUST be hopelessly out-of-date with no internet or DVD access by the time of release and with any luck, out-priced by its rivals - but Nintendo will appeal to its gullible fanbase yet again to support them because the other consoles CANNOT let you connect your GameBoy Advance into their systems and play your new console games onto this lesser portable one!!!
And thirdly, Nintendo happily watches the money flood in whilst secretly knowing the new system will be life expired within two years, whereupon they can offer something like a "ram expansion" pack to prop it up for another year, disregarding the fact that its rivals have been dropping prices and selling bucketloads of units because their systems were ahead of their time when released....
But none of this matters to the "Ninnies" (official Nintendo groupies who buy nothing else but Nintendo because they believe its the best) because Nintendo has already conditioned them to their way of thinking since long ago...
But what do i know, i`m merely a PC owner who enjoys the sort of quality gaming, both on and offline, that console owners can only dream about....

Yep, that plan sounds about right, but we loyal Nintendo fans love every minute of it! But doesn't hype accompany every system? Just look at the Xbox, it was hyped way too much and has so far been a flop in Japan & Europe, despite Microsoft saying "Its got the best graphics", "Xbox will offer a totally unique gaming experience" etc.
The fact is that the best games are made by Nintendo, and the best looking next gen games are on the Gamecube.
Backwards compatibility shouldn't matter, as any true games player should have owned an N64 already!
DVD access to me doesn't matter, as i've got a great all region dvd player and most people can get a decent dvd player for low prices these days.
I too enjoy PC games, infact, i've mostly been playing PC games over the last few months, but in two weeks time i know what games i'll be playing (and it won't be a PC)
