To Echodork:
Dude, I never said there'd be no CD-based consoles. I said there'd be no Sony Playstation. And then Nintendo wouldn't have been outsold 10 to one and they'd still be king of the shits today. And let's see here, there's a HD addon for the PS2 (Memory expansion, much like the expansion pack) and all the consoles use memory cards in one form or another. Granted, some of their ideas have failed horribly, I never said they didn't, but with a company that innovates it's to be expected. I'm sure they're quite well aware that a new idea may fail spectacularly, but their successes outweigh their failures by far.
To Lasereth:
No, I understood your post (I think), if Silicon Knights are under contract with Nintendo then they're generally liable to make games. They didn't demand to be released, they asked. There's quite a difference - I'm sure if Nintendo held on to them they'd still make awesome games.
