Nintendo is on the afterburner at this point. They are trying to make a comeback with the Revolution to prove they have a console that is worth buying, but the problem is that the other consoles have bigger and better game libraries (and exclusives) while the GameCube was limited, especially since many sports titles didn't get ported to the GCN, so it wasn't really able to be considered a true alternative to Sony or Microsoft.

And, in my humble opinion, Nintendo had better make this next console awesome, and be able to appeal to a gamer who is picking 1 of the 3 to buy. Otherwise, they will not be able to compete if all they have is the standard fanbase of gamers who buy exclusives for the GCN and all the rest for either PS2 or X-Box.

I predict Nintendo is going to go the way of Sega and cease console production, and become a producer, or, worst case scenario, they are bought out by Sony ( ) or Microsoft ( )
