Atari Drops GameCube Support For Two Titles

dade writes "Atari has dumped on Nintendo, making it the third company to do so in recent weeks. However, because the GameCube is a vehicle for first-party games, Nintendo's bottom line isn't affected. This article at switchbox asks if such a situation can last." Some good points are raised. While Nintendo is ostensibly content to hide in its niche market, it would seem to make sense that it would want to corner more of the gaming market if possible, especially given their history.

...I must say, YAY! Revenge from the grave. Seriously, though, Nintendo just fails to grasp that the market doesn't consist of only children. The audience has matured, and with maturity comes mature tastes. The Playstation does so well because it was the first out of the gate. Also, Sony isn't afraid to have "adult" games on their consoles. Given anyone can develope for PS also helps. I think, What we've really seen here is a backlash against Nintendo's foolish pride. They alienate Square, and other developers with the N64. (Despite a new FF coming out for the GC.) Now they are paying the full price.
