I am not laughing at Rare, Rare were my third favourite company and my first favourite company kicked 'em out to you guys. Oh no I'm laughing at the fact that Microsoft expect Rare to release 5 games in 2 years....
Trust me it won't happen.

But then lets face it, we don't expect nearly as much from a handheld game than a home console game. Nintendo have released a number of games for the Gameboy Advance, but most of them seem to be a case of ripping open SNES cartridges and move the inards to a GBA one.

True, but still, 5 games, was it really worth $375m for that?
Mr. Stamper must be very excited, all that money his ZX Spectrum company is worth now, and all he has to do is create 5 games!

I think Sega is a somewhat more sizeable company than Rare...

Actually, if was "old" Rare who started work on some generic Mario wannabe platformer - Conker's 12 Tales, and the "new" Rare who redesigned it and made it something special.
Anyway, people are making too big a deal about teams breaking away from Rare. It happens in companies all the time.
For every designer the leaves, there's an underling that has learnt all the skills, only they have a whole set of fresh ideas of their own.

It was the original Rare that made most of Conker, before they left. The rest of Rare just had to finish it off.
