Rare is one of the best if not the best development house out there. While they may take a long time in between games, their track record of excellence speaks for itself. While some of the games may have not sold well, you can't say they weren't quality titles.
Will losing rare hurt Nintendo? Probably, but not that much. I think this deal will have more of a beneficial effect on Microsoft than a detrimental effect on Nintendo. Microsoft needs console pushers, and Rare is one of the few developers that consistently makes them.

I agree with every word he said. Nice post Strangler.
The effect on Nintendo (a negative effect I would say...not financially, but they're losing a lot of would-be quality titles) won't be as large as the effect on Microsoft, which will obviously be a positive effect.
And GameKinG...you think Perfect Dark is outdated? Compared to what? And even if it was, PD was so ahead of its time when it was released for N64, especially the multplayer options. Nobody has ever seen anything remotely close to that on a console, even to this day. I mean, would you NOT buy a new Perfect Dark game if it came out for the Cube? C'mon...it sounds like you're just a
tad bitter
