Xantar, your point is invalid...
1) Nintendo will post 1 billion in profits because they make consoles... and they have the handheld market on lock.
2) What would make RARE more money (not Nintendo)... think about it. Rare could continue making exclusive games for Gamecube plublished by Nintendo and make all the money they made as a 2nd party.... and on top of that they would be able to port (new) games to every system and make a lot of extra $$$.
5 years down the line, Rare being a 3rd party would be a LOT more smart. I'm not even going to touch on the fact that GCN might fail (stping Nintendo from buying Rare)... and Xbox might fail (stoping Microsoft from buying Rare)...
IMO this news makes perfect sense... Rare wants to make more money in the long run.
