all-in-one won't happen (Score 2)

Yamauchi may be a stubborn, crotchety old man, but he will not let his company release a product that has had THIS poor of a response in the past, even if his company is nintendo. CD-i: dead. 3DO: dead. NetLink: dead. X-Band: dead. While Nintendo attacked the grade-schooler and preteen with N64, Sony attacked hardcore gamers, and guess what, Sony has some 65% of the market share, compared with Nintendo's 30%, and Sega's 5% (that's is what happens when you jam an extra processor in the chipset and forget to write any good libraries). So Sony has shown us that the hardcore gamers rule the market. And what do hardcore gamers want? Not edutainment, net access through an analog controller, and Titanic on DVD. They want a company they know is committed to games. While the Sony and Nintendo have not completely shown their respective hands, right now the only company that i have seen that seems to have it right is Sega: impressive hardware, good libraries, good 3rd party titles, and as always their phenomenal arcade division (I love you AM3). Now if only they can release Sony's grip on Squaresoft...
