From Games Are Fun:
I hope this doesn't mean that the hardware will be a lot worse than Sony's and MS's. Sega tried this with the Dreamcast but failed, but I guess Nintendo is looking at the PS2 and seeing how far ahead it is in terms of sales and popularity. But Nintendo is more like Sega than they are like Sony, so this might not be a good idea. Perhaps if they release the system six months before the competition with tons of great games (no Luigi's Mansion crap) and a huge marketing blitz, they might have a chance to seriously compete with Sony. And the hardware better be comparable to the competition's.
Discuss.
Oh and before someone tells me that this is old news, it's an update on old news and we need some more threads here. So shut up.
Quote:GameCube successor before PlayStation 3, neXtbox
Japan's Nikkei Industrial Daily, a daily newspaper, states today that Nintendo could release a successor to its GameCube hardware sometime before Sony and Microsoft launch their next-generation consoles in 2005. Nintendo thinks that if it is the first to release new hardware, it could give them an advantage that they've been without with the Nintendo 64 and the GameCube.
