LOL @ people thinking Nintendo can steal the core from Microsoft ... er no chance.

It takes more than horsepower to attract the core, and Nintendo's IPs are just NOT attractive to the core crowd, coupled with the fact they don't have online in their blood and they'll forever be behind MS in that department, heck only Sony is catching up now.

Nintendo has IPs which are also attractive to the core crowd, not as much as Halo or CoD, but still attractive. Nintendo's own IPs don't even have to appeal to the core crowd, they just need exclusive 3rd party games which do the work for them. So Nintendo could easily steal the core from MS or Sony if 3rd party devs make it possible.

But then again... I doubt that we'll see much exclusive 3rd party support on any console in the future...

only ips i see attracting the core crowd, are zelda and maybe metroid. other then if starfox and kid icarus get a make over they could also attract the core crowd.
