Yeah... Hudson, I just don't see any possible way Nintendo could magically increase their game output so much that they'd keep a system afloat on their own. It just isn't logically possible... Nintendo puts out GREAT games, but they can't do it all the time... and the result from stuff like that are times like the first half of '02 with so few good games.
Oh, and Hudson, you try to deny it but that plan of yours sounds EXACTLY like what Nintendo did with the N64... and the results would be just as predictable as those were... 3rd party games may not sell as well as 1st party ones, and may not be as good as those, but having them is important because it gives more options and helps keep the system more alive in the public conciousness...
Oh, and I wouldn't compare X-Box and GC sales numbers directly to PS2 this generation... PS2 has clearly won, and big. No question there... and as mentioned, game quality has very little to do with it or Nintendo would be winning. If the next 3 systems launch near-simultaneously, though... now that'll be a race to watch closely...
