"Advertising - that is Nintendo's BIGGEST problem......"

I feel gutted every time I read another story about the failing cube, the kiddies machine, the console no-one wants etc etc etc. The biggest problem and it really IS the problem is that Nintendo just aren't advertising enough! When they do, the ad's are crap and leave you thinking 'I could of done better than that'. PLEEEEEEEASE Nintendo, make some good tv adverts. Get the CUBE up there where it belongs. DONT let it become another Dreamcast! Dont let all those smug Playstation owners revel in this consoles struggle any longer. We need adverts on ITV at 5, 6 and 7 O'Clock in the evening when people are watching, not on Channel 4 at 3 in the morning when everyone is in bed or is too drunk to even realise the TV is on!!

Thats true. I never had a Dreamcast but my Brother did. He ordered it from a catalogue, thought it was crap and returned it the same day! He now has a bloody Playstation!

I doubt that would happen, especially with WHSmith, they're nt exactly the biggest games dealers. Is that kind of thing leagal anyway?

Actually, and a lot of people will disagree with me here, but the Dreamcast wasn't a good console.

I have one, and I struggled to find enough decent games to keep me occupied.

Actually I would have a nice pile of gold and my shiny shiny Q.


Although, I would rather have my Q's weight in gold...

That's what happened to Dreamcast, abd that's a great console.

That wouldn't be much, it's light. Though you could buy more Gamecubes with the gold...

No Whitestripes what Im saying is that I enjoy playing on my console but I want to be playing on it in 1, 2, 3 years time as well. I dont want it to go under like other consoles did when SALES were low!

And I dont suck!
