They know for a fact that it's the loyal fans that keeps the GCN going. The sales charts clearly show that GCN is falling behind, and the gap will only become wider. And as DarkMaster said, unless Nintendo has something huge (and it would have to be really HUGE) up their sleeve, then they are doomed to failure, nothing would be able to bring GCN back into the # 2 spot. Nintendo is supposed to be the innovator, I haven't seen any innovation. Exactly what Bond told me on AIM: MS has been the innovator this generation, and I agree totally. With a build in Hard Drive and an Ethernet port. Online games are something Nintend should have started already, yet, I see nothing, and I bet we won't see any good online titles. Games like F-Zero, Mario Kart, 1080 Avalance and SSBM would all be good online titles, yet Nintendo doesn't take advantage, because their stubborn, and that will be their downfall.

I'm just a tad curious on this point, ow exactly has Microsoft been innovative this generation. I mean sure they included the hard-drive, but I have not seen many make use of it hus far other than Blinx which seemed to suffer and well Fable whenever it plans on being released. I mean the ability to rip your own music is cool and all but doesn't add anything new. Maybe, I'm missing something on this hard-drive business, I mean it could be used for good, but thus far...
And I don't think online patches is a good either, with most console games, people expect it to be right the first time around.
does Ps2 have ethernet ports?
And this is a big one, everyone talks about online games, everyone seems to think it's the next step for videogames, thus far I've seen it expand multiplayer aspects of games and not much. Really, what is so special about being able to play someone from God-Knows-Where, Australia or elsewhere. I mean it may be cool if you don't have friends around and whatnot, but you could just not play the game.
Maybe someone is willing to point out the great aspect of online gaming, I have never got the big thrill in it nor do I think I ever will.
