Strangler, I believe they released a game in early 2001 (9.5%), but they haven't released a game in 2002 (1.5%).
Though it may result in a loss of some income, looking on the larger scale of things, 3rd parties are giving even more support for the GC, which makes up for that loss, and then some. Sqaure is definately a plus, and then you have 2 'new' RE's coming out for the GC (RE0 & RE4)...
Nintendo have also acquired new first and second parties, so I guess it's not all bad for Nintendo, and they also gain alot of money from the deal, apprarently recieving three times the value of their shares, which could be used to secure other deals, such as the next DW/DQ game (that's just an example, it probably won't happen)...
Then again, one could say, sure, Nintendo could have had all this PLUS the support of Rare. Needless to say, the GC will be getting alot out of Star Fox Adventures.
