Kutagari said that the first five million will buy it, whatever it is, regardless of whether or not it has games. Even at $600, I would have been inclined to agree with him simply because the playstation name was so powerful. I can't believe how quickly it was tarnished with everything that went wrong with the PS3 (from the very-late announced delays to the execution and PR everywhere else).

The general consesus among the gamer community is that Sunshine and Windwaker were indeed rushed, and Nintendo's own people went on record saying they should have spent more time on the titles.

And by the way, I enjoyed them both immensely (I didn't like Mario 64 or Oncarina of Time oddly). 

I've never heard from anyone that these games were rushed, but whatever. I thought these games were polished, as with most of Nintendo's games. If these were rush jobs, then they are the best rush jobs I've ever seen.  

There were supposed to be two more dungeons in Wind Waker, they rushed it though.  As for Sunshine, you have to admit it definitely could have used a couple more worlds.
