I don't see how Sony and Microsoft can compete with the free online gaming of Nintendo. How can Microsoft continue to charge for access when Nintendo is going to offer it for free. Thid doesn't make sense to me. Unless Nintendo has some other pricing model. Then again since they are offering game downloads so they get money there. For once Nintendo's online strategy which was non existant on Gamecube has got everyone else beat, even the PC. I'm guessing it will be ad driven. Nintendo was the only of the three major console makers to actually make money off their gaming divisions. Microsoft lost 4 billion from XBOX. The game division of Sony used to be the most profitable division in the whole company I don't think it is anymore. The fact Nintendo made money was mainly due to Pokemon and Gameboy. Sony hasn't made the online plans public yet. Somehow I want to get Nintendo DS just for the free online gaming support. I could play mario cart online anytime I want. The dual-screen thing can go suck a nut that is corny. I wonder what the new Gameboy is going to be like or when it is coming out? Probably sometime after Revolution. I bet with the new Gameboy you will be able download games just like Revolution. That would only make sense. I wonder if that would lower the price of games if they came out as download only. You wouldn't have to worry about manufacturing. Flash memory is getting cheap enough that by the time a new gameboy comes out it will only cost like $50 for 4GB or more. A portable game would probably take up less than 2GB. You could probably store all the old school games in less than a GB. So here is what I picture the new gameboy will be like. Slot to fit all the current Gameboy games to be backward compatable. SD for game saving and downloaded games. Built in wireless like the DS now. Large high res, possibly OLED screen. What the fuck am I describing this shit for. I need a shower. Fuck it is so hot in this office.
