You're absolutely right, DC.

Nintendo's curse of late is that they make great hardware, but can't get anyone to respect it. As much as I love Shigeru Miyamoto, I sort of blame him for this. He thinks his vision for gaming (which is admittedly brilliant) is the only vision that people should have for games. It all started with the N64: it was a great system but it NEEDED a CD drive! After that, when Nintendo had learned its lesson and made a perfect peice of hardware in the Gamecube, nobody knew it because Nintendo didn't really care about what they had created (because of Miyamoto). I'm glad they're still making tons of money, but fads only last so long. As a fan, I worry.
