veddy intesting
Looking at the american and european sales of GC and XBox you can see head to head sales data. If Nintendo can produce a new game system a year or more before anyone else and games have games ready for it that really show off it's hardware, we'll see a huge turn around concerning the Playstation semi-monopoly.
And now I shall quote an old quote.
IGN (I think) "Will the (Gamecube) be backwards compatible with the Nintendo 64?"
Nintendo: "No, but the system after Gamecube will be backwards compatible with Gamecube and all other future Nintendo consoles will be based off its hardware"
IGN "So we wouldn't have to buy a new system after that?"
Nintendo " (laughs) New Hardware will be created, but it work off of the last generations hardware allowing for backwards compatability."
IGN "So the Gamecube 5 will be able to play games from the GC 2, 3 and 4?"
Nintendo: "Something like that."
I'll tell you what makes me worried though
I think this will be the start of a major MAJOR change in Nintendo...
