Sorry if I got off topic.

First, thanks for sticking up for me
That is the point I was trying to make, how long will price drop work for, and how will software sales end up as a result?
Also, please correct me if I am wrong. Is MS not ahead of NIN in north american sales?

" Guys, I want you to do me a favor, all of you seem bent on the fact that you want basically Nintendo to grow up and make their games less "kiddy" and all that jazz, basically more mature titles right?"
not true at all, I just havent found any of the current Nin releases to be fun, or as much fun as comparable 3rd party titles, ie 1080 vs ssx3
Mouse, I do understand what you are saying and I am not bitching. I am merely stating that at this point I am not as happy with my Nin purchace as I have been with previous Nin purchases. I see no need to sell it as money isnt an issue, and I would never be able to recoup my investment anyhow, but I also dont see why I cant voice my opinion on why I am not happy.

I already own all 3 systems, and money to me is not an issue, so selling my cube is simply a waste of time.
I keep my cube for multi platform games, because I like the fast load times and the wavebird, and the hope that maybe I will like the odd exclusive such as ED and RE.
"Again, you guys are acting like your opinion is universal. Except you, cubed, tried to use some sketchy sales numbers to back yourself up. "
Pardon me? The Cube is in last place, this has nothing to do with sketchy sales numbers, it has to do with fact. The price drop is the only reason the cube has even pulled close to MS (who is a console newcomer I might add) , so saying our opinion isnt universal is being very blind to the fact, that indeed, Nintendo is losing customers.
As for offense, I take none, I just find this very funny.

"Have you ever considered that maybe Nintendo just isn't fulfilling YOUR needs, while they are fulfilling MINE? "
the problem is that you have become the MINORITY with this type of statement.
I use be a total diehard Nintendo fan, I have had every Nin system to date. Hell I didnt even buy a PS1, and I can bet that there are many many people out there just like me in this regard. I would also bet, that it is safe to say, that like me, a lot of these people have moved away from Nintendo for other sytems or other forums of media in general.
It is really great to say that Nin still meets your needs, but from a business standpoint, and I am talking cube only, not GBA, that Nin is not meeting the needs of nearly the number of people it once did, and IMO that number is getting smaller all the time. Yes, 2.5 million cubes sold for 99 bucks, but time will tell if software sales, anywhere near match those numbers, I am guessing they wont.
I simply dont find Nin games to be as good anymore, I dont have as much fun playing them as I do many other games.
Its as simple as that, I dont want your sympathy, because I myself dont even care.

When I bought my gamecube I didnt know I wouldnt like as many Nin flagship titles as I once did. I thought I would like the next Mario game or the Zelda, I didnt like either one. As a result of my experience, this will probably be my last Nintendo console, unless third party support increases a lot for the N5. The reason being I am still a huge fan of Nin hardware.

"If I was a total Nintendo fan I would have more of thier titles in my collection, but I am not. I look for the best of the best and games that have that X factor. If a Nintendo games doesn't have that X factor I won't buy it."
this is the way I look at it as well. It is also the main reason that I havent purchased very many Nintendo exclusives for the cube, I simply dont feel that Nintendo's games are any better than many of the competitions anymore.
At one time a Nintendo game was guarenteed great, IMO that just isnt the case anymore.

"Now a 200 dollar sound car and a 300 dollar set of speakers has better quality than a 350 dollar receiver and a 700 dollar set of speakers. "
LOL, I dont think so. I have a Harmon Kardon amp, and 5 polk audio speakers that will blow any PC sound system out of the water, regardless of the price you pay for them.
As for video, I have a HD satalite reciever/decoder that produces stunning picture quality on my Toshiba 51 inch widescreen, add a progressive scan DVD with component hookup and it blows anything PC related away.
The point of this is, all this gear was about half the price of what similar gear would have cost 5 years ago as well, so it isnt just PC related crap that is going down, it is consumer electronics as a whole. Use it for 3-5 years and pitch it, has become the new moto, not like in my Dad's day when you had the same TV for 26 years.

who gives a crap if consoles as we know die.
As long as there are a few decent games, I could care less if the freaking thing doubled as a toaster.
I also could care less on who makes the darn thing, as long as it works when I want it to, I really dont care.

I dont understand why everyone bitches so much about a game being only 10 - 15 hours long. WTF do you expect for $50.
A freaking movie costs 10 bucks and most are only 90 mins.
At 12 hours of game play a video games gives you one of the best entertainment to cost ratios out there, when you look at the big name types of entertainment. I barely have time to play anymore and a nice game I can play in a weekend is well worth it to me. I think both of these games are wonderful and the perfect length.

"they can make Mario sports games like crazy."
and no body other than die hard NIN fans will even touch them. I hate Mario sports titles personally. Tiger woods 2004 blows Mario golf out of the water.
" For those of you wondering, yes I do consider racing a sport. No duh! Those athletes have to train their feet from falling asleep and their eyes from drooping. I wish I had that skill!! "
You obviously have never drove a race car or know anyone who has. You would be crying after 3 laps in a winston cup race, and in formula one the noise from the car would make you weep.

"Many 'Cube owners feel the same about this. They buy a 'Cube to play Mario, Zelda, and Metroid, not NHL, FIFA, and NASCAR."
Why cant we have the best of both, and thus appeal to everyone. NIN will never touch Sony untill they can do this.

I have worked on a PC for years now, and am only marginally better than when I started, but I am far from a good typer. When Playing a game and having to think about the game and type, I slow down worse than true crime.
I will take my widescreen TV, Tiger Woods 04, a cold beer and little green any day.
