Most of the crap produced by Acclaim is just fuel for the teenage dorks that make up most of the the XBox buyers anyway ...

Acclaim is not known for games targeted at youngsters, which is the Cube's market. Same for the other third party developers: no drive to market quality E rated games. Which means Nintendo has been given a monopoly by default.

PS Referencing a previous /. post, wasn't Acclaim listed for breaking contracts in the 25 dumbest moments in gaming? Point is the company DOES have a history of substituting marketing for quality, so perhaps their pulling out doesn't mean much other then such an approach does not work in Cubeland.
