I think with Microsoft they have alot more freedom to explore the games they want to make. But they don't seem to go down so well as expected, where as if they were with Nintendo they'd have a massive fan base who would almost certainly buy anything produced from them.

Really, I don't think Nintendo would have approved of Conker Live and Loaded if it were on the Gamecube, so their deffinently better off with MS in that department. But I was wondering because of their poor sales, wether it may have been the popular Nintendo charecters like Conker (at that time) and Donkey Kong that gave Rare their success, and not their actual quality games.

Anyways, your thoughts.
