Do you agree that Nintendo should stop hurting themselves. Unfortunately, I believe that Nintendo can't keep up in the console race, so why not turn all their attention to smashing the competition in the handheld field?

Just out of curiousity, why do you think that? I have played on all the consoles this gen and I think it's the best, followed by the X-Box and then the PS2.
Gamecube has: Decent first party games, some good second party games and the best of the third party games (not forgetting Resi 4)
X-Box has: Bungie, Bioware, Bethesda(sp?), decent third party support
PS2 has: MGS, Final Fantasy, Tales games, Resi 4 (although they only get released in Japan), and tonnes of third part support, with the majority of them being rubbish.
Games like the Super Mario Advance series wouldn't be here if it weren't for consoles. If Ninty had always done handhelds, we wouldn't have Yoshi's Island.
And if life is without Yoshi's Island, it's not living.

So why does this opinion stretch to the Revolution, of which we know very little about...?
You can hide behind your grammatically correct posts all you like, but it's clear as day for all to see that the content of the posts doesn't match the structure.

But Metal Gear isn't part of the MGS series.

I like your bulletproof logic.

So what? It's still a Gamecube game.

What are you on? Paper Mario 2 and Pikmin are not "kiddy" games. Pikmin is quite a challenge (it's sequel especially). And how can you not be impressed by the Revolution? It's far more exciting then the other consoles and it's going to be amazing for FPSs. I don't think you realise the potential it has.
