Yamauchi is on drugs

[BigJustinW]

I don't understand what he is trying top say... the first part sounds like "we are only worried about GCN now" which is understandable. But the second part sounds like he is saying that people no longer care about cutting edge technology!?!?!

I think we are a few generations away from a time like that, and Gamecube wouldn't be a good example of a end-all advancement console.

But how it's written it just sounds wierd.

As for the posts in this thread... I think if NOA running Nintendo probably wouldn't hurt, but I doubt it would help either.

what does yamauchi have to do with nintendo anymore, he retired no?

[BigJustinW]

Yep, but the part that makes in relevant is:

"Yamauchi added that Nintendo's leadership shares his view of the business."



he must have a huge influence on his replacement(s)... which isn't good.

Im thinking that maybe, just maybe, they translated his statement wrong, i mean, look at what Justin said,

Not sure if anyone checks out IGNCube, but theres also an interview with Satoru Iwata, the current President. He basically kinda says the same stuff, critizing online play, blah blah blah. Check it out if you like. http://cube.ign.com/articles/492/492280p1.html

Not sure what they rest of you are thinking, but to me it seems like Nintendo just dug their own grave a little further, like theyve been doing the past few years.

criticizing online play? dear god...if Nintendo doesn't go online with its next console, they can say goodbye to Electronic Arts.

Which wouldnt really bother me. But they are the biggest 3rd party so it would really hurt the console.
