In 2002 I think Rare has only made up for 1.5% or so of Nintedo's software sales, but that wasn't my point.
If Rare hs that significant of an impact in 2001, a year that they didn't even release a game, how do you think that will translate once MS starts releasing their games on the XBox. If Rare makes up 17% of Nintendo's console software profits in a year that they didn't release a game, what do you think the revenue will be when they release new games on the XBox? Plus Nintendo has to fill that void of losing a consistent revenue generator on the software end, plus a developer that pushes their console into homes (which I think they will do quite nicely, but its still future profits that will be lost when they could have pulled ahead instead of evening out)
