yeah, nintendo is doing just fine. worldwide they're neck-and-neck with microsoft as far as volume. add to that the fact that they aren't losing money on hardware sales and have greater margins on their software licensing. and that is just the consoles. gba moves ludicrous amounts of units and software... the DS had a very successful launch. while they might not be king-of-the-hill like they used to be, i like their market position.
i'm with rdr4evr and the rest of ya. other than the visceral content, most of the "adult" games seem like kiddy games in actual play mechanics. i'll take the depth and attention-to-detail of nintendo's first party games any day.
as to the revolution: i hope that the "revolutionary" part of the controller will be an addition to the conventional controls... not a replacement. let's face it, most games are multiplatform these days... no sense in handicapping yourself by making a port impractical for 3rd party publishers.
