on another note, the NBA looks to be heading into a really bad place right now, its going to have to keep its cap down revenues are don, and national teams from other countries can afford to spend more to poach players, i expect a lockout form managment in the next 3 years barring a major rebound.

When Nintendo takes 60% of the console's marketshare.

i could really care less about another crash, i have a good stock of games and consoles to hold me over, and i will never stop playing them

12 years from now.

that is a pretty good estimate, you are more open minded

:^)

i was under the impression that the videogame crash was largely due to atari pretty much being the head of the gaming industry by a long shot.. when they were out of the picture, there was pretty much nothing left to hold the threads together... nowadays, i think microsoft sony or nintendo could fall to nothing, and the gaming industry will continue on, not as it was, but not that drastically effected as the first crash
