As for outselling PS2 games, that's not surprising as software sales for PS2 in Japan remains anorexic. Sony has shipped 3.52 million units of PlayStation2's in Japan. Total software shipped for the console is 3.4 million. This is based on Sony's own numbers quietly release on 10-26, as part of a large backage of financial results. (read it here: http://www.zdnet.com/gamespot/stories/news/0,10870,2645756,00.html ) Considering these numbers of shipping numbers, not actual sell throughs, the numbers be actually be less than was is represented above. But with reports of continued PS2 shortages, 3.52 million shipped probably means 3.52 million units sold. But software is sketchier, with various software publishers releasing different software, some selling out and some not, it is doubtful all 3.4 million units of software sold. Even if somehow the laws of economics were turned on its head and supply equals demand, and all 3.4 million units of software were sold, it would still give a software ration of 0.965 games sold, per PS2 that is sold. or a software/hardware ratio of 0.97:1 That means there's a percentage of people (about 120,000 users) who don't own any ps2 games at all. And that's assuming that other 3.4 million users are buying at a 1:1 Ratio. Which is statistically unlikely. There are going to be segements buying upwards of ten games, segements buying 2 or 3 games, segements who buy only 1 game, and segments who buy no games at all and only uses their ps2 for DVD movies. Because of this, the 120,000 PS2 users that are currently gameless is probably a very conservative estimate. after we take into accout users who buy more than one games, and subtract the games (out of the 3.4 million shipped) that are NOT actually sold but sitting in store sheleves, the number of people who uses the ps2 exclusively as a DVD player is bound to rise significantly. -- Dexter S.

Now THATS the kind of addicting game I've known Nintendo for and I'm sooooo glad they pulled it off. I also have to thank my friends because we have never had that much fun with a game before, ever.

The bigger question is whether American consumers will want to put up with
the exhorbitent price (Nintendo is marketing it as a specialty toy instead
of a game) and whether it will be a million seller or not.

I've wondered about this myself.  I mean, it's a neat concept, but $90?
C'mon, NOA.  NCL didn't sell it for that much two years ago.  It actually
looks like this one would be cheaper to import (demo watashi wa nihongo o
hanasemasen :( ).  Oh well.  Guess we'll have to wait for Pokémon Stadium GS.
-Eric-

Unless you're really modest, you would reconsider using the word Watashi.   Boku may be more appropriate.

Nintendo has been on a great run in the past year with some really funny commercials and great integration of the game characters to deliver the message. With Banjo Tooie, Nintendo takes a page out of Sony's Crash Bandicoot commercials and delivers a spot with a guy in a Bear suit. Very funny, and despite the obvious parallels to Crash, the commercial takes itself somewhat more seriously with Banjo and Kazooie being portrayed as real characters, not as some guy in a suit pretending. The dubbed voice of Banjo sounds a quite a lot like Dan Castellana's Homer Simpson character in the Simpsons changing his voice in often humorous situations to evade sticky situations. I can't recall the specifics of the episodes, but if you watch the simpsons you'll know what I'm talking about. It's a nice touch by the marketing firm who worked on this for nintendo.

Date: 21 Nov 2000 21:29:28 -0800 From Reuters. Year-ago comparisons are unavailable since this will be the first time Nintendo releases interim results on a consolidated basis. For the full year to March 31, it forecast a 46 percent jump in consolidated net profit to 82 billion yen from the previous year, with sales rising 1.8 percent to 540 billion yen. Domestic sales of the Nintendo 64 have been slack, hurt by rival Sony's recently launched PlayStation 2, while Gameboy sales have been brisk. Shares in Nintendo closed on Monday down 2.81 percent at 18,300 yen. They have risen eight percent so far this year, but they are 31 percent down from this year's peak at 26,400 yen. Nintendo's solid profit performance is expected to contrast with the dim results of rival game makers. Last month, Sony Corp reported a group net loss of 68.47 billion yen in the six months, against a 64.94 billion yen net profit a year earlier, due to the strong yen and the heavy cost of the roll out of the PlayStation 2, the successor to the world's top-selling home video game player. A day later, Sega Corp , the world's third-largest video game maker, issued a loss warning, forecasting a group net loss of 29 billion yen against its initial estimate of a 600 million yen profit, blaming a cut in the overseas sales price of its mainstay Dreamcast game consoles to fend off competition from PlayStation 2. -- Dexter S.

The 1.5 gig format also allows Nintendo to make a backwards compatible GameCubeBoy handheld console. Nintendo's been very coy about that when asked and they've openly admitted that it is a possibility. Handhelds are still seen as the bastard brother of the industry, and with some good reason.

Chuck E Cheese is this pizza place.  One of the ones with a huge arcade and
all these plastic tubes to crawl through.  I think I was there only once or
twice.  It's not bad, but it has these annoying arse robots on a stage that
sing every once in a while.  Ever see that episode of the Simpsons where Bart
falls down the well?  Well, at the beginning at his birthday party, he's at a
place that's obviously poking fun at Chuck E Cheese.  Think of that, and

But at the same time, I thought it was fair to point out that the Arcades looked so unstoppable. Reading Mr. Steve Kent's "The First Quarter" he made it clear that from his perspective, and from the people he interviewed, there was very little idea at the end of 1982 that the Arcade industry was going to be collapsing into a smaller industry. The home industry recovered as a result of the NES, which supplanted the Arcade industry as the dominant form. You probably know this, but during the Atara/Coleco/Intellivision Era, home version of arcade ports were so coveted bidding wars erupted over them and that's never been the case since the collpase. with a few exceptions (mostly Sega's ports). Again, I'm not saying home gaming dead, but these things, like history itself, can be quite hard to spot, and they only become clear in retrospect. That's why I thought it was important to bring up the demise of the arcades. Kind of a footnote to ground the discussion. -- Dexter S.

I'm not saying it does but i'm saying it's a factor.  It's quite obvious GBA isn't shaped like an SNES controller ands the SNES buttom layout was designed with the controller shape  in mind.  It could be a factor and to discount it I think is just being ignorant.  Not to insult you, but there's really no data out there and we're not ergonomic experts.  You can neither rule it out or rule it in.  But we do have to consider it.

those shoulder buttons? Almost drop your damn GBA if the thing is heavy
enough and you need the shoulder buttons.
#1, reporters say its not heavy and it's no heavier than a GBC
#2  most didn't complain about the shoulder buttons

Those are the hands on impressions I've read thus far, so I'm not making anything up.

I don't see why Nintendo isn't
gonna put those 2 extra buttons on, I mean games like Zelda: ALTTP and Super
Metroid used all the buttons. They are gonna feel derivative if they are

Subject: [N64] Unbreakable
 Hey all. I just saw M. Night Shyamalan's "Unbreakable," and I must say I'm
impressed. I'd like to think a bit more about the film, but my initial
impressions are that it is a very well done film. I know it won't be as
widely accepted or critically acclaimed as "The Sixth Sense," though.

~Matt >>>>

  I though Unbreakable was a little goofy.  It was like a movie based on a comic that tried to pass itself off as a serious movie....just seems strange.  I enjoyed somewhat, but was a little let down. Stryder

with Nintendo making ports of their old NES games to GBC, one would guess
that GBA would get ports of SNES games.  I'd like to see that, but seeing a

Are you intentionally being naive or do you have no clue?  I'm not sure why you think you're qualified to partake in this discussion if you haven't the slightest clue of portable games should be made simple.  Let me ask you this question.  Why are arcade games for the most part less complicated and  less time consuming  than home games.

Naive?  Please Dex...sad.  I love how I ask you to explainfurther and you respond with a question....haha, talk about avoiding the issue.  As for arcade game, I do not think they are more complicated at all...we see arcade ports all the time.
No.  I don't think you understand the issue on a quantitative level.    I feel like a teacher here.  Let me give you another hint.  Yes, we see arcade ports, and they're always what?  Fighters, Racers, shooters.    And what kind of fighters, racer and shooters are they?  Do they have massive customization options like Gran Turismo? or are they closer to San Franciso Rush?  Do we have Role-playing games or Platformers like Banjo-Tooie being ported from the Arcade to home, or from the home to the arcade?  If not, why?

 Ponder on that point and you'll come to understand  my point about portable games.

They may be more complicated from a mechanical stand point (i.e. moving chairs and such), but the games themselves are usually simple.
Not talking about mechanical standpoint.  When you play portable games, you have no mechanical chairs to sit on.  But you're right about arcade games usually being simple. now take that extra step. come on. why are they simple?
 But, they are time comsuming....and the reason for that is so they can take your money.  Dex...you still have not explained why a portable game should be simple....try again.
Yes, they are made difficult so they eat money, but that's the arcade business model. But we're not talking about business models here, as the portable market has the same business level as the home market.  But the portable market do share something in common with arcades, about the games being slightly simpler.  You're almost there.
 
Dex...think please.  We are not talk ergonomic design here...the DC controller has been ridiculed for not having anough room for your fingers on the side grips.  It's hilarious how you mention other console controllers and how they have not upgraded, but have obviously decided to overlook the fact that they already have more than 2 face buttons.
My point was that controller buttons for home consoles have leveled off.  Any more than what we've currently seen will make them far too clunky to operate hence the evolution of controllers have stayed more or less on a level path, buttons wise.    Nintendo probably decided that Game Boy Advance, being a 2-D machine and not needing all that extra buttons for camera, and realizing from their snes experience that most games use half of the 4 face buttons, that 2 face buttons with 2 shoulder buttons would do just fine.
 That was my point all along.  You're a hoot, Dex...
Hmmm.  I think you've misterpreted what I said above.  So that insult is no longer applicable.

 Again, they are simple for money reasons.  They want people to be able to just walk in, pop some quarters in and begin playing.  You can't just put complicated instructions on the side of an arcade machine.  That has no relevance to portable gaming.
 

I see no reason why you can't have more complicated games in the portable realm.  There are a number of current GB games that could use more buttons (i.e. Zelda)...but since they do not, you are forced to access menus over and over to change button functions.  Besides, you can have simple games that require more buttons (fighters again are pefect examples)....even in arcades they often have 6 buttons.  My whole point is that more buttons gives programmers more freedom.  They don't have to resort to menus or button combinations to get the desired effect.  Cosidering that 4 face buttons is basically the minimum for any controller these days....I think it should have been obvious to do the same with the GBA.

Other than Super Maetroid, I don't think I can think of a game that uses ALL the face buttons and the shoulder buttons. I know that if and when we see a new Zelda game on GBA, that they keep the R buttons for your shield. I am SO used to that that I press R to shield or block on almost every game. With R as shield, the A and B buttons would be left for items, like your sword and another selectable item. Oh well, I cannot wait to see some truely beautiful GBA games. ~Matt "I like toast."

This isn't what the pretty park virus does, its not even a virus. I had it on my comp a few months ago. You get it through icq, mirc or email or something like that. It basically is a worm that hacks into your registry and changes a few values and adds a driver into your system folder that your computer 'thinks' it needs because of the changed registry values. If you delete this driver, your whole comp screws up royally (sigh) unless you can hack back into the registry and change a few lines of code. It has a southpark icon when you open it and makes a file called "files32.vxd" or something. Anyway, since this isn't N64 related, if any of the next-gen systems gets online is it possible for them to get viruses??? What if they have an operating system ala Xbox?

I know Mike and DCD may import it, so if they do, we'll have more info on the game then. Hell, I'd import if I had the money. As for the DC, once you get the system, you can get two games a month with the DC's budget pricing. They're games (like Crazy Taxi) that are $20, $30, $40, and some $50. Heck, sales even put some at $10. It's a nice change from the N64's $30-$50 prices. And with only 22 titles due out til the end of next year, now's a good time to start looking for one...or perhaps early next year. There are only 7 major releases left.
