Kutaragi was perhaps the sacrificial lamb to keep shareholders quiet, but he didn't even have much day-to-day involvement with the PS3 any more. The support the Wii's getting doesn't matter much. Here we are 6 months and a strong launch in, and the Wii has yet to get one major announcement that didn't come from Nintendo. Gamecube at least had Resident Evil. All Nintendo's gathering is second and third tier games developed by second and third tier teams. As for the PS3, they're not losing anything. They're just having to share some of what they had with Microsoft. We're talking about a company that had 100 million units in each of its last two efforts. If they're scared by a 1.5 million disadvantage, they shouldn't be in this business any more. That list of handheld games (and Mario) does what for me exactly? An aggressive holiday push has historically been far more important than what's happening in May. A 6 million unit holiday season can alter the shape of the landscape. I know Sony can produce that many units. Can Nintendo?
