Born and raised a Nintendo fan, I will continue to breed the little boogers like myself until I die. It's always been about the games to me, and Nintendo still delivers the best games there are on any console they make, at least the best that I like to play. They always tout that their consoles as the newest and most revolutionary, frankly I could care less as long as they continue putting out my favorite games. That, and their devotion to controlling the games, which so many nincompoops seem to just gloss over. Controllers are the interface to the game world itself, and I'm always shocked and appalled by how other manufacturers (Sony especially) simply copy what worked back in the SNES days and leave it at that. Games today are way too complicated to be taken full advantage of unless the control scheme is there, and I'm sure Nintendo will pull out something that is again fantastic.

That said, I'm always a late adopter to new technologies in gaming. The industry moves too fast for me, and just when I settle into one type of hardware the developers are bringing out the next one that the consumers gobble up. Me, I like to take it slow with games that I like. Also being such a late adopter into the Xbox arena I really don't see myself getting very interested in Microsoft's new offering as I'll still be exploring the "old" 'Box games. And in the interest of only saying nice things, I won't say anything about Sony's new or old consoles, unless someone really wants to hear it. We'll just leave it at me not being interested in anything Playstation.
