...I get the impression Nintendo isn't trying to sell consoles to you. And hasn't being trying for years. They've got the kids market sewn up, with a siginificantly cheaper system, bright cartoony games, the Pokemon franchise, and a remote-control controller. They know they'll lose the hardcore gamers to Xbox and the rpg fans to PS3, but if you're 12 or under, you're theirs.

I, for my part, haven't purchased a Nintendo console since the SNES, but I own every generation of the Game Boy. Because 1) It's the best portable system and have been for a decade, and 2) I'm SquareEnix's bitch.
