Uh, DJ, you never heard of Voodooextreme? Where DO you go on the internet? Or do you just ignore PC news sites... have you not heard of Blue's News or Gamespy or something too?
Oh, and seeing X-Box Live sell so well in Japan is surprising... good, too. I really hope it keeps selling well there (and here) and proves to Nintendo that people DO think that online gaming is very important... but given Nintendo's historical dislike of "new" ideas, that doesn't seem too likely. Which is really too bad, given how important internet gaming is to the lifespan of games and how many people probably aren't getting NGC versions of multiplayer games because other ones have online modes (read: most every multiconsole sports game, for starters... or Tony Hawk 4, or Capcom vs SNK 2 EO, or some others...) Stupid Nintendo!
