Yeah, Nintendo is really doing a lot better than a lot of people here think. They are still selling millions of games and systems ya know. Just because they are trailing behind Sony doesn't mean much. MS is pretty much in the same position by the way, trailing Sony. Why are they popular like Nintendo? I'd say they earned it. My XBox game collection has been getting big lately, and it's finally earned it's keep. I even got myself an XBox Live starter kit (which I may end up cancelling in a year should I not have 50 bucks, or if MS decides to do a monthly fee thing then).
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
