(RUMOR) - Nintendo Going the Way of Sega/Atari?
This is an interesting article i ran across, and i thought i would share some snipits from his article with the Addicts. "..Other publishers such as Atari, who recently cancelled the GCN version of Driver 3, are picking and choosing what games to release for the system. In September, the company announced their first loss since going public in 1962. Nintendo predicted a profit of $135 million for the first half of the fiscal year, but now predicts a loss of $27 million..." "..Late last month, Nintendo dropped the price of a new GameCube from $149 to $99, and since then some outlets have reported sales of the system have quadrupled. I just have to wonder though if this is too little too late..." "..Nintendo hasn’t screwed up quite as badly as SEGA did with the Saturn, but they’re certainly on the same path. Even the future success of Nintendo’s cash cow, the GameBoy, is in question as Sony is releasing a competitor, the Playstation Portable, late next year..." So do you all agree with Chris here? Is Nintendo Doomed? Will we see Mario on the Xbox? How bad do you all think Nintendo’s situation is? Click here to read his FULL Opinion @ Idsnews.com. Good thoughts on the subject btw Chris.Source: http://www.idsnews.com
