Oy, I still find it hard to believe Nintendo has some horrible image problem. I mean, with the massive line I was in at the mall, with all the fellow gamers who really don't have any issue with Nintendo, and the people I overhear, and the friends I have and talk to, it's just not something I see as reality. Yet, outside my local sphere here, there's supposedly this huge image problem. If it's such a problem, then certainly I would have met a few people here. People aren't SO unique that a whole city could be devoid of public opinion like that.
Sure they wait for Nintendo's games, but that's it. Why do you think mature-rated titles and sports game sell so poorly on Gamecube? Because the casual gamer still thinks of Nintendo as the "kiddy" company that makes Mario.
