well to add to this thread, my roommate this year who made fun of me last year for my purchase of a gamecube made a very interesting comment today. some guy who was just kidding said gamecube sucks because it cant play dvd's. my room mate(who is 19) then replied, that is the gamecubes only down fall, besides that i think it is the best console.......i was shocked. this is the same kid who said "why did u get a gamecube?" it was one of the most suprising things i had seen in a while. this just goes to prove that the glass ceiling, or what ever nintendo has imposed on itself, can be broken. if they make the games the gamers will respond. its as simple as that. the thing nintendo needs is word of mouth. thats what got my room mate to respect nintendo. they seriously need to just pay 1 big star to endorse the cube. there were those nelly rumors a couple weeks ago. if nintendo could get someone like that, or kobe bryant or some huge icon that many people love, that could be a huge turning point. even some really hot girl. maybe christina agulara. didnt nintendo not spend a quarter of a billion dollars on advertising last year??? just have a star sign a 20 million dollar contract for 10 years or something. its a really good investment and i believe at this point it is the best way to get attention to one of their comercials. and people would become so familiar with these advertisements, that they would just see the guy and think its a nintendo comercial. nintendo can get back some of the market share, they just need an idea.
