Nintendo has been struggling since last generation's N64 with their GameBoy helping them trememdously, as noted further up in the thread. Their Mario, Zelda and Metroid franchises producing a VERY loyal following. I see them as the Apple Computers of the console world. Funny how they both have Mr.Gates to compete against.
As for Mr.Gates, his xbox is also struggling. The Live network is producing a very strong following as well.
I see it that as long as these companies continue to be able to produce quality stuff, it should at least keep their heads above water.
Personally, I dont want to see any of the console manufacturer "going down". I consider myself a gamer in a general fashion. Not loyal to any one platform, not against any one, either. Competition between companies force them to not only keep prices in check, but also have them fighting to make a "better game" than the other. Now, if there was only one... how do you think the quality of products be like with nobody to compete with?
