The 13 Steps to Sony's Demise
An anonymous reader writes "There's an article up over at About.com called, "Nintendo's Role in Sony's Fall." The article discusses a detailed sequence of events, a time-line, that might play out over the next year or two as Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo battle it out. It references the launch of the Xbox 360, Halo 3, the PS3, and the Revolution strategy, as well as Sony's troubles with employee layoffs in 2008 and the PSP. Right or wrong? Who knows, but it's well informed and after 13 steps, the game plays out like this: Microsoft punches, Nintendo dodges, and Sony ends up with a bloody nose."

Right. Because Mario Kart, Need for Speed (all variants), NASCAR (several variants) and Rally Championship really show a lack of variety of racing games on the Gamecube. The same goes for the following RPGs: Zelda (all variants), Tales of Symphonia, Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, just to name a few.
Your doomsday predictions for Nintendo fail to take into account that at this point in history, each system has must-have exclusives. Microsoft has Halo and PGR, Sony and GTR and GTA and Nintendo has Zelda and Mario. Each system will sell because these titles are well established brand names. They may sell more or less with each version of a particular game, but they will sell a lot of units.
