Well NINTENO has always been the "conservate" in Vidogaming.
They cater to (mostly) the "family: crowd.
They shun 'fad' and new technolgoy (ie cartridges for saving capalibty instead of 'newfangled' tech like CDs and Memory Cards)
Like I said.. they exel in software delopments... "FUN" games, without the flash and glitter.
That why I think they would do better confirming to the "flash and glitter" standars of SONY or MICROSOFT technology, while concentrating their efforts on gameplay.
As for 'handheld', IMO they have benefited from lazyness in others... for the longest time GAMEBOY was the standard handheld... others are catching on.
I suggest they stick to software development.
Whaa? The Gamecube uses disks and MemCards. Nintendo hasn't used cartriges since N64 days. Am I misunderstanding something?
