I loved my NES and when SNES came out they had done so much to it but kept it the same. The move to N64 and GameCube was a bad idea. What they should have done was take their existing product and make it better and not try and copy the Playstation 1.
The Idea of buying an Xbox when you own a PC at home with a good video card makes no since to me. 99% of the games on the Xbox come out on the PC first... but Microsoft is relaying on their name to push the Xbox 360.. whats next then... i'll tell you whats next.. APPLE is going to make a game system too. A much as i dislike Apple and their business model, if they design a game system i am sure it would be a ton better than Xbox could ever be.
This new Nintendo system is just another weight on the Nintendo Corp to bring them down. I cant wait to see them crash and burn becasue they made an expensive system for 8-11 year old kids.. not many of them have jobs to buy one and i am sure the parnets of this gen of kids played with the orginal NES would rather they have one of those.
