Topic: I predict Nintendo will be #3 again...

Well here is a problem with an assumption that Nintendo will only make a few games for the fans.  Why can't a new game for the fans also be designed to appeal and attract a new market of gamers as well.

Super Mario 64 did a great job of bringing new people the the market, as well as giving something for the fans.  

To assume that Nintendo can't do both at the same time is kinda absurd.

I finally realized that N will never be #1 atleast I think in sales of systems, unless the Rev pulls a big'ol rabbit out of the hat with an AK-47,some grenades and a nuclear bomb( and it very well might ). It dosen't matter to me anymore cause to be #1 it looks like you have to waste all your money on advertising and making the console a freakin do all system. People say N has been atrocious well they have been laughing all the way to the bank for along time and have aquired a helluva lot of money and will always make systems and games and turn profits, they are very smart. There's a reason N's stock is worth more than Sony's.   Cuz I'z saz so.  dumbfounded ozer uzing the letter z zo much.

well your wrong check out sales!
