Yamauchi is on drugs

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,

I completly agree with that,

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.

see there's a huge problem...most GameCube owners only care about Nintendo games for the most part. Which is WHY I think Ninty should go software-only...maybe continue with the GameBoy, depends on how the PSP does.

And no EA support helped kill the Dreamcast. EA is a powerful beast...you're right when you say it would really affect the console.

lol...EA leaving GCN wouldn't bother me either, but I'm sure I have different reasons than Jason

I wouldn't be shocked if Next gen is Nintendo's last in the console game, then I see death. in a way, I hope PSP smashes the hell out of the Nintendo handheld in the future, because GBA is the only reason Nintendo is still so cocky in there marketing strategies....

NOJ just needs to hand power over to NOA next gen. At least NOA is a little more thinking about the competition and what the consumer wants. But meh, with everyone thinking Ninty is dead, I guess when the day will happen, NOJ will look back and wish they at least gave NOA a chance to straighten things out. Then after that day happens, I will go old school only because the future of gaming will be too mainstream and waaaaaay too much emphasis on graphics.
