| I'm glad to hear evidence that systems are selling well. Of course the main thing I care about is the quality of the games... but it just sucks when great systems (like the last couple Sega ones) go under. I hope the game industry can be more stable than it was in the late 90's so we don't get stuck paying for systems that only end up getting a few good games. | |

| I now wonder if the continued sucess of the PS2 is to balme for the recent delaying of the PSP's European and North American release dates. I belive it is, as Sony knows that theres a major risk from trying to beat the Game Boy, so they may try and have a christmas to make cash at hoem from it, whislt the North American and Euro markets take up more money to reduce a potential loss. Some very good news for the gamecube i think. Its so nice to see a console you can juggle that isnt a handheld doing better... | |

| Maybe this will be a reality check for console makers. Remember when new consoles never costed more than $150? Unless I'm imagining things that's the way it always was before. Who the hell are they marketing $300 systems to? People who choose to go to college will be broke for the next 40 years of their lives. Kids ain't got no $300 laying around and parents won't be dishing out that kind of cash for a video game system. Well the market is saturated with these super powerful systems. If the companies want to run a profitable business they should focus on games for the next few years instead of expensive hardware. The more expensive a generation of gaming consoles is, the longer that generation should last. Games are very profitable, systems arn't. But it's a rough world and every console maker has to be the best and raise the bar again and again. This puts a lot of unnecessary stress on the companies and the weaker ones will fall out, like Sega. | |

| Its nice to see the 'Cube is doing better. I've always been a fan of the Big N , and it would have been a shame to see Nintendo reduced to a puppet company like Sega. Lets hope they can release MORE original games while sticking to franchies such as Metroid and Zelda. | |

| Uh, go Nintendo? I'm really not very impressed with the Game Cube, myself. I was given one as an unsolicited gift by my ex-boyfriend, who bought it used. I didn't really get the impression that they were very popular. Maybe I just hang in different circles. | |

| My question is what Nintendo's next console system is going to be like and that if it will have a DVD function, online play, and backward compatibility(play GC Games). | |
