Re: Huh ?

Nintendo can't force any pawn shop to destroy old machines.

It only seems that way because Nintendo likes to stick to a core group of characters thus you have Mario64 which is nothing like Mario Sunshine which is nothing like Paper Mario.

Think about it, even 6 Mario Parties pales in comparison to the dozens of Haloish FPS clones.
Hmmm...Nintendo sounds like the Mac of the console world.

Uh, are you sure on that one?

Nintendo is the biggest offender of all when it comes to releasing the same old stuff all the time.
Nintendo is also the only one making any money on all this game stuff. If hard times are coming (and I'm not so sure I agree with that) then Nintendo is in the catbird seat.

There can never be enough Mario Party. Some games deserve sequels, some games shouldn't have any.

Although they do have innovation on their side with the Revolution, but it may or may not work out...

So what does this means ?
Game publishing companies will begin to go bankrupt (it's already happening) and smaller development houses will merge with bigger ones for survival......Games will continue to be stale and imitiative instead of innovative and console companies that depend on Game Sales to make up for the income lost on the hardware will feel the pinch for many years to come.

Just consider it a Video Game "Ice Age" where only the strong will survive and survival of the fittest and all that...
If it crashes, another iceage than we can expect nintendo to come out of this without a frost bite. Nintendo will be on a nice warm beach sipin on magaretias while Microsoft and Sony duke it out in Hell or under the ice. Microsoft to release 10 more Halo's while Sony releases more Final Fantasy's and and probably Killzone in the mix just to survive.
