In the end, Nintendo wasn't going to work with Microsoft and probably didn't team up with Firefox due to their open source nature.

I fail to see what's wrong with open-source software, I mean the add-ons for Firefox can be incredibly useful. AdblockPlus for instance is really great (thanks RolStoppable for that ), also you can embed a Windows Media Player in it with "FoxyTunes", "ForecastFox" tells you the weather forecast, "IE Tab" enables you to open up IE tabs from within Firefox, and StumbleUpon is also pretty cool. So I fail to see what is wrong with the opensource nature of Firefox, can someone help me here?


It's not that there's anything wrong with the software from a functionality standpoint (I use it every day), it's that Nintendo probably wouldn't want to use open source software for their proprietary system. Nintendo wanted a product that they could closely control and sell. I don't think Mozilla and Firefox could/would want to deliver that.



Numbers are like people. Torture them enough and you can get them to say anything you want.
