<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I seriously don't think it's going to be that big of a deal unless they really push it in advertisement. I think what the Gamecube needs is one of those orriginal gems that just become insanely popular like GE007 or GTA3</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Nintendo will spend the next few years changing their image. That's what's killing them, they're still seen as "kiddie" by the casual gamers. This (and a lot of others) are the step in the right direction. Xbox is cool, therefore it will do better</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>You're in the minority. Its image would be too childish for teens who wanted to escape "cuteness" and want that "coolness" factor instead. And currently, many people think Nintendo is ~only~ for kids.</div>
