I mean honestly, out of everyone that has played Animal Crossing, who hasn't enjoyed it? Also, it's kind of interesting that XBOX has all these games, yet they all suck. Out of the top 10 games of 2002, one was an XBOX game, rightfully Halo. 4 were Nintendo-brand products, including what I believe to be the best game in a while, Metroid Prime taking the top spot. Nintendo is not dead, they have never been dead, they will probably never be dead. People will always buy their products because you always get a good time from Nintendo. No matter which system you are on, there are always awesome games being made.
They've already stated that they are going to try to have their newest system out by X-mas 2004, but it's doubtful. The best thing Nintendo can do right now is try to keep the Gamecube afloat long enough to develope their new system and get it out before Sony and Microsoft. Also, don't change the game format again. It really makes customers mad when they have to buy all new games 4 times in a row. This is why Sony has been and Microsoft will be so successful, you can still play the crappy version of Tomb Raider II on your brand new PS2. Another point Nintendo needs to focus on is getting online with their systems and not bombing it again. They are losing millions of dollars not investing in this.
