Moron, big titles like Zelda do not need to be released during the holiday season in order to sell well. Nintendo has proven that, and MS has said the same thing. The first half of this year should have been a priority for Nintendo because of how many people bought Gamecubes late last year and will be looking to buy new post-holiday titles. So far all they've released is a multiplayer Final Fantasy Gauntlet-style game.. MGS is coming out soon but that's just one big game to last us until May or June. We're looking at around three big games in a span of six months. What they're sure to do again this year is release 90% of their games in the last four months of the year, and that is NOT a good strategy especially since only a few of those games sell well. The only GC games that sold really well in late 2003 were Mario Kart, SSB, and Zelda. Yes that's right, pretty much just one new release sold really well. Rebel Strike sold poorly, F-Zero sold poorly, RE0 sold poorly, and all of their big third party games sold poorly. And guess what, ABF? Most of the big third-party games were also available for the cube last holiday!! Nintendo has just as many AAA titles as Sony and MS do.
