haha, so many conflicting minds, but the numbers show all.I see articles every day saying "is ninty dead", "have ninty finally lost it", then we see this and "10% share rise", "ninty predicted to have %40 share rise", etc.Nintendo know what they are doing... which is making money, as much as they possibly can.

That's all any company is doing these days, and ALL (even Nintendo) are neglecting that the reason "us people" buy these things is for the content on them. Short-term, people will buy whatever has buzz and specs, but long-term it's always about CONTENT. It's still possible the world will wake up and have just enough time to clean up the mess before mom and dad get home.
