Ramping production would mean getting every one of their suppliers to ramp production, tooling more production lines, training more workers, building out QA and testing facilities, blah, blah, etc, etc. You don't make that kind of investment when demand is tapering (604k units in December, 436k in January, 335k in February). By time time you have the additional capacity, you don't need it. Is this a joke? Demand is not tapering. Every one of those months' sales numbers were supply constrained. They didn't sell more because there weren't more to sell. Had more been available more would have been sold. And January was a 5 week month for NPD. Taking into account weekly sales the drop off was neglible. 436/5=87.2 335/4=83.75
Once you can walk into any store, and see plenty of Wiis on the shelf, and the numbers keep dropping, then you can say demand is tapering.
That second article is crap. It doesn't even talk about PSP games! Rogue Galaxy and Siren 2 are both PS2 games. The only PSP game mentioned is Loco Roco. The single sentence in the summary is about the only mention of the psp in the whole thing. Zonk, maybe you should RTFA next time?
How did they drop the ball? The NES series on GBA sold/is selling like hot cakes. And they did release them cheaper than a normal game. $20 compared to $30 for new 1st party games.

Minidisc has been there for a while now. It was DOA.

Like you said, there's no keyboard. It's unplayable shit.
He didn't create all of those.
Metroid was Gunpei Yoko, and Earthbound was Shigesato Itoi. But hey, easy mistake. All Japanese people look the same.
The PS3 will not ship with a hard drive. That's been confirmed.
I wanted this on the cube again. I don't want to spend $500 for a PS3 to play this.

Yes he does. He talks about one of female vocalists, and how the new soundtrack is japanese hip hop, which is nothing like american hip hop.
The original story wasn't news. Neither is this. Raise your standards a little, please. Don't just link press releases.
RPG dream team? it already happened back with Chrono Trigger.
Akira Toriyama doing the characters, Yuji Horii of Dragon Quest doing the story, and Nobuo uematsu doing the music.
5. One of the best looking online RPGs to date.
HAHAHAHAHAHAH!
This game looks like ass. I've played free korean MMOs in Beta that look a lot better.
That interview is fake. You'd figure the part where he called Kirby, one of nintendo's main franchises, homosexual would tip you off.
