Well it turns into a Sony and Nintendo race where Nintendo keeps rare. Which is....an interesting debate. It could be some better off but still smoked Gamecube leading to a Wii with Rare games while Sony would probably have even less reason to be humble than in the PS3 launch. Which could have some implications.
...Unless this leads to a bolstered Dreamcast that somehow survived and ends up creating some 'Neptune' console with or without a ring of death.
The Democratic Nintendo fan....is that a paradox? I'm fond of one of the more conservative companies in the industry, but I vote Liberally and view myself that way 90% of the time?
