I prefer them to try and get more games.

Well, Rare is more than capible of getting them more games... on SNES Perfect Dark, Conker, and Banjo were unheard of. Dinosaur planet was unheard of too. Rare... unlike most of Nintendo's other 2nd parties, bumped out some origanal content for N64.
That fact alone makes Rare irreplaceable in my mind...
Now that microsoft has controll over Rare, they have controll over a company very much like Nintendo... unafraid to be creative. When Nintendo sold Rare they Sold thier best 2nd party as far as origanal content in the past... and maybe origanal content in the future.

PD sold more then 2,000,000 or something, and that was not even enough for Nintendo to maintain Rare.

Imagine if Games like Conker, DK, and Perfect dark weren't used to promote the expansion pack. I'm positive the sales would have doubled. But that didn't happen, instead that 2,000,000 perfect Dark owners paid $90 for the game ($59.99 for game, $29.99 for the expansion pack).
Nintendo seemed to forget about that when they made that press release... lets add up the sales of expansion packs and Rare's Pre-Zelda:MM games. That will show what they are worth a lot better than just the game sales.
