I think the problems with Nintendo go back to what seems like their philosophy on business now. They forego the established customer in order to bring in new customers. That's why you see the same games repackaged year after year. If a game is wildly popular with 8 year olds, instead of making a more in depth sequel in a couple of years for the kids who are now ten, they just remake the game for a new set of 8 year olds. It's cheaper and requires no innovation. Innovation, as we all know, is too expensive and risky.

If Marge is going to be in Playboy, does that mean we will get to see Lois Griffin in a pr0n mag soon? I think she would be great for Hustler.
