I'd like to suggest that you invent a sport that can be as attractive to the _regular_ people as baseball or basketball.
There's a reason that MLB and NBA has established their brand names in professional sports. It'll unfortunately take more than innovative game designers to top the brand power they provide.
For example, I don't think NBA is threatended by the street basketball folks no matter how hip or cool they are.
In short, I think we have witnessed inevitable (and possibly evil) consolidation of the sports game market.
I do feel sorry for Sega for losing the market because they actually innovated enough to become a real threat to EA.
I am glad to hear that you are puting emphasis on something other than money.
However, I wonder what you'd have done if both you and your wife were laid off. That'd my situation if I get laid off because my wife is still in school.
What I mean to say, I guess, is that you are still blessed to be in your position. I'm sure there are a lot of people willing to be in your shoes.
Anyhow, I agree money isn't everything, and good luck on your life.
I will have to strongly deny that Koreans in general support Bush. In fact, I'll be shocked if over 20% of Koreans support him.
There is a strong and serious sentiments among us Koreans against the cureent American administration's foreign policy (aka BULLYING)

You pay a small amount of money (~$1-2) and then you can see a stream of movies on a PC. Some offer screen resolutions that seems equal to DVD's (about 640x480)

the Slashdot Icon still shows Nintendo... old old Nintendo
Isn't it a bit insensitive, eh ?
Sorry if I made you feel sarcastic.
True, but Halo2 may actually _expand_ the xbox market capitalization. Market saturation is a good indicator of such possibility, I'd suppose.
