TalkBack / RE:GameCube’s Mid-Term Report Card

Good read Johnny, good read Mouse clicker. Both of you made very good points, but the main difference between the articles...
Johnny's, although ticketed as a GameCube reflection and review, is in actuality about how Nintendo isn't like Sony/Microsoft (Which he equates to success), and what they need to do to become more like Sony/Microsoft (which he equates to being more successful). Mouse_clicker's is about how Nintendo isn't Sony/Microsoft, but is Nintendo.
Maybe it's just me but I'm HAPPY with not getting sport game remakes every year. Johnny, it's kinda funny that you shoot down Nintendo for making GCN "updates" to N64 classics but then claim they should re-release the same 4 sports games every year so they get more sales.
I'm leaving the online thing alone- The only currently successful online plan is that of the PC which is ENTIRELY different from the consoles. I personally think X Box live and the PS2 online plans are total failures- and I'm glad Nintendo didn't throw it's money down that drain. Maybe it will be successful soon, but it sure as hell isn't now and I, as a punk kid still in high school, don't feel that I have the place to tell Nintendo what to do about it.
And I'll depart on this note- You don't need to be the dominant company to be a good one.
