Although not a movie but a 1989 6hour mini series, i watched Lonesome Dove this week and i got to say it is the best western ever made bar none, The good the bad and the ugly has well and truly been toppled by this masterpiece. I recommend it to all who have not seen it yet.

Actually Nintendo has made a profit (except for virtua boy) from every console it has ever created including the Gamecube. When Microsoft or Sony make a console they spend more on making the machine than they sell it for and depend on game sales to make the profit, (the original Xbox never made a profit) which can take years to finally catch up on the loss of console development. Nintendo on the other hand always make sure to make a profit off the consoles from the start. Not to mention they are also one of the biggest games makers as well and nearly all the games they make are multi million sellers.

Also Nintendo are the real innovators in the gaming market and pretty much always have been for example - Dpad on a console, shoulder buttons, first to have a save feature, rumble in a joypad, first proper use of 3d in a game, First to have side scrolling 2d game and on and on.

In regards to Nintendo getting knocked out of the market, i can't see this happening for a very long time. People can complain about them ignoring the hardcore market (and i do too) but at the end of the day they are a business and they want to make money. Believe me Sony or Microsoft would have went for the casual market only they did'nt think of it. In fact they now are trying to get in on the action as both are introducing their own motion controls and i bet you wil see plenty of mediocre party game for them too.

The fact is the casual market is FAR FAR BIGGER than the hardcore market and thus way more profitable.

Microsoft & sony have got to sell tens of millions to make profit, Nintendo usually has to sell roughly 3 million.

Well if thats how other forums are conducted im glad i do'nt visit them.

Don't you mean NU

I actually do'nt like it, its to similar to hundreds of other old school GN'R t shirts.

I dunno i have seen some people jumping on some crazy trains in the past. I mean we STILL get the occasional reunion post
