Sep 26, 2008 - Proves my point that Japan will always be better then the U.S. when comes to being innovative and not rehash first person shooters sports games as well as bad movie based games and other license game garbage that U.S. game makers crap out all the time like all the 3rd party Wii games.

Sep 28, 2008 - Nintendo did have strict policies concerning 3rd parties, all for the good and the bad. The good was that therewas a risen familiarity among consumers of what they were buying. The bad was that 3rd party games were prevented to be released for past systems such as Sega Master, Atari 7800, and Turbo Grafx 16.

Oct 8, 2008 - Why didn't Atari decide to make another attempt after the Jaguar
PotHeadMan Says:
Oct 8, 2008 - you should do your research a little better. Nintendo is DOMINATING the game market, the Nintendo Wii is the best selling 3rd gen system, plus Nintendo owns the hand held market, they are a shadow to no one.
PotHeadMan Says:
Oct 8, 2008 - Nobody would bank it. They haven't had a successful console since the early 80's. Bomb after bomb you loose your share holders. Like Sega they decided to go strictly with software.
