"Worrying"

I am getting Worried. With the PS3 deep in development and the successor to the X - Box supposedly being made in the near future, where do the big N stand in all of this gravy?

I've heard many people discussing the GC being Nintendo's last ever 'proper' console. I hope this is down to a mis - interpretation of something somebody at Nintendo (I forget the name) said about concentrating on games rather than hardware.

Also, if the Playstation 3 and an 'X - Box 2' come out, lets say in late 2004, the money I spent on my GC will have not have gotten as much value as I hoped it would. Producers will be less likely to produce for the 'last generation' console, and it will probably end up like the PS1 has now, a tool for promotion of the latest kids films.

Also, the Game Boy Advance 2 is supposedly coming out in a year or 2's time. What about the original GBA? I haven't spent nearly £100 for something that I've spent less than 40 hours on and is soon going to be out of date.

I hope Nintendo are just going to plan it all out now, and bring it out when there is a potential competitor for the GBA.

Do Ninty not realise that 14 year olds don't have the money to buy new consoles every 2 or so years? Of are they just trying to stay 1 step ahead???

think about it though, if ninty are still roducing GC games in 5 years time the price will plummet to compete with the X-box 2 and PS3, we'll be paying £20 for Super Mario Moonshine : ) while they'll be paying £40 - £50 for crappy non-nintendo games

Does it really? Now THAT is re-assuring! GO NINTY!

yeah well the GBA outsells the PS2.... LMFAO!!

Parr, how are the PS1's sales figures re-assuring me?

Now do not worry your self about the X-Box 2 or the PS3. Simply tools for the "rich boys" The PS1 still outsells the X-Box in japan so you have nothing to worry about.

Don't worry yourself Tribute. The GC being Nintendo's last console was a careless misquote from the press. What was said was that Nintendo want to concentrate on games for the near future. They later went on to say that they were expecting to be still producing games for the GC in 5-7 years time.

Also, this GBA 2 talk is mere rumours. What with the link up to the GC sorted, and loads of games planned, I can't see Nintendo releasing a new portable in less than a years time.
