"Should Nintendo stick to handhelds?"

I am not necessarily agreeing with what is being said, but the point is that it needs to be voiced: should Nintendo stick to handhelds? I am a Nintendo supporter, as well as a Sony and (cringe) Microsoft supporter (but only for the Xbox. Otherwise I am a fervent Mac user). Therefore, I hope you will believe that I am not simply Nintendo-bashing. Having said that, I think quite a few will agree that the GameCube was disappointing, to say the least. However, Nintendo have struck gold with all of their handhelds, ranging from the original GameBoy to the DS.

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?

Except the Virtual Boy.

Fear not, I have at least half a brain!

Most people don't have half a brain who play computer games, they wouldent buy a console because its Nintendo, let alone because of the controller.

Anybody with half a brain will wait for something a little more concrete than a few shots of the controller before they make any real judgements.

But naturally people are going to judge right from the very beginning.

Damn, I was impressed.
