I'm not afraid to admit I only buy games either developed by Nintendo or one of its "sub studios" ie: Silicon Knights, etc...

Hell, I just looked at my collection of GC games I have and the only 3rd party game I have is PSO ep. 1&2. The rest are either Ninty made, or made by one of its studios. The reason why? QUALITY. 3rd pary dev's stray away from the 'Cube because the mainstream gamer buys a PS2 or XBox so they can buy a $50 game that gets $5 worth of fun. Also because they know it won't sell well because of the fact that they either horribly hash the game to the 'Cube or they feel that because a good majority of GC owners aren't as stupid as most 3rd partie's want them to be.

Now although I may be flaming like a fanboy, I'm trying not to. But it is true if you think about it. Hell, if Ninty went 3rd party for some reason, they better stick to making games for 1 company. And IF, and I stress a HUGE IF they ever do go 3rd party, I'd want them to go to MS (even though i despise MS) because of the fact that Sony needs some competition.

A bleak future for gaming is coming upon us. Because Sony and MS think we need 50 things to play games, they will charge more for the console and basically downplay the fact it plays games. Although I may be exaggerating a smidge, look at what Sony is doing with the PSP. "It can play movies, music, walk your dog, feed you.....and play games". Hell, next gen consoles companies are already saying more about the other crap it does besides the fact it plays games. MS/Sony will soon give more details on their consoles and im almost 100% certain they will talk more about the other stuff then the fact it plays games. But you know what...sh*t happens and thats my 2 cents which I'm taking with me
