shut it goblin boy

theyll survive for sure

The ironic thing is that while you have wet dreams about the object of your fanboyism being the only surviving console, without competition from ninty giving your developers regular kicks in the ash you would personally have a far lesser quality of machine and games available to your pre-adolescent fingers.

Nintendo are going down.

Why all this doom and gloom?

Sales targets? May not of been reached, but a lot of people have bought Cubes, and the releases soon are second to none.

I'm happy.

That's what people would've said about SEGA though back in 1997/1998.

Although they do still live on, in a way, they aren't really the force they used to be.

Nintendo will survive, though.

In recent months, Nintendo have been pulling their socks up. They've managed to survive without doing much before, but now it's starting to take it's toll. Sony and Microsoft have been advertising and spending like crazy to promote their console. If Nintendo did half of what they did, they'd survive the next 20 years.

If Nintendo have lasted this long then there's no doubt they'll live for another 10 years.

Hell, I don't even know if i'll survive the next 10 years let alone Nintendo.

Software wise Nintendo will last, but hardware wise depends on how well Gamecube 2 does, since Gamecube isn't selling alot and Nintendo can't afford to make that mistake again.

Agreed, surely you could do a GBA with built in phone, using current technology?

I think with Sega, the problem wasn't specific consoles themselves, just having two unsucessful consoles in a row.
