I don't think it's fair to compare Nintendo to Sony and Microsoft, because they are targeting different demographics.
I want to support Nintendo because it's the only gaming-hardware company that really specifies in well...just gaming. I read in "Electronic Gaming" that Nintendo has implicitly stated that they do not intend for the Nintendo: Revolution or what's-it's-name to compete w/ PS3 or XBOX 360, so it will probably cost a lot less, but it won't have the other capabilities that the other two consoles will have (but it will have backward compatability).
The DS in any case, I hear, is just something to "stall" Sony's PSP until Nintendo can work up another GameBoy installment.
Sony's success w/ PS2 is what made Microsoft interested in the gaming market, and it's now become a two-horse race as to who can conquer the general public, but I think Nintendo is fine as long as it doesn't ailenate its core market: gamers- with something like Virtual Boy. :blink:
