Everything is relative after all.

Consider this: If back in the day, Sony had re-released the PS1 with slightly upgraded graphics, adding the rumble and dual analog control to the controller (back before they actually did) and charging 2 1/2 times what the current PS1 was selling for, would you consider that a bargain? I think that was where he was going.


Well, if it was a mistake on Nintendo's part they sure haven't been suffering for it. People are buying it in large numbers. We will have to see if they can keep it up.

Except for the Virtual Boy, Nintendo seems to make money hand over fist on every system they make. Sega usually had the opposite (mis)fortune. Too bad they didn't parly their succes with the Geneis into another succesful system. Oh, the Dreamcast started out very strong, but Sega just had too much debt and too many competitors with deep pockets.
