    Nintendo will be out of the platform/hardware business and into software exclusively (ala Sega) shortly. They're getting thumped by the other two playes (Sony and Microsoft) and I can't see them keeping the platform division running for much longer.

    I'm especially looking forward to playing the Metroid/Zelda/Mario titles on my PS2/3.
