I have noticed a lot of people on these forums talking about what the next generation console will be but what I think is equally important, is the next generation gamers.

I think Nintendo have realised this and I think this is the reason they are releasing a lot of games which are mainly aimed at kids. If these kids buy the Game Cube for the games there is a good chance that they will stick with Nintendo in the future, therefore giving them the edge over Sony and Microsoft or any other company that decides to release a console.

Whereas Sony and Microsoft are too busy fighting between themselves they may not have realised this and I think this could possibly be their downfall as they start releasing games that may not be up to the same standard as they could possibly produce, just for the sake of having the most games on the market.

I think Nintendos patience will pay off for them in the future as a new generation of gamers will appreciate the games they played as children.

Dont get me wrong though, I am not trying to downgrade the PS2 or X-Box, I have a PS2 and I enjoy playing the games for it and I respect the X-Box as a good machine but I think that Nintendo may have the future sorted because they are thinking more about the gamers than their wallets.

'Cause the gamecube's easiest to develop for, it's gonna attract all kinds of games, shedding the 'kiddy' image soon. Nintendo will still continue to make top quality games for all audiences and the Gamecube will soon be crowned console of the world, and Shigsy, king of the world.

Not that I'm biased or anything.

Personally I dont know what they could be planning but as I said, just now I think they are concentrating on making their console appeal to the younger generation but this is all just what I think personally.

Well if they have realised what I think they have realised, I cant imagine them not making another console.

They have hinted it may be their last but have not confirmed anything yet.

That may be so, but the fact that Gamecube will be Nintendos last console means they have kicked themselves in the face.
