If your point is that most people have 8 DVD players, I think you're off your rocker
. In the real world, where money does not grow on trees, DVD players are not as abundant as shoes. Hell, I don't even own 8 pairs of shoes. 4 I think.
Anyway, my argument wasn't that the Gamecube SHOULD have a DVD player, but that Nintendo's rep was laying the BS chin high. If they truly wanted the Gamecube to purely be a gaming console they wouldn't have made, or liscenced, a Gamecube DVD. Nuff said.
Now, as for Nintendo gauging its customers, I think I understand it more now that I think about it. Nintendo is a company purely entrenched in the gaming industry. MS and Sony a monster companies who have their hands in multiple enterprises.
My point is that MS and Sony can afford to have smaller profit margins from their gaming segments because they make profits in other areas as well. Nintendo does not have the luxury of making up lost profits with TV or PC operating system sales. So Nintendo is off the hook in my eyes.
But Sony is still the spawn of Satan
