         I have to say that I see both sides of the argument, but I'm   
   leaning more towards the "give Nintendo a chance" side of things.  My   
   biggest gripe is that their innovation isn't in the area of gameplay   
   advancement, but rather in the area of gameplay accessibility.  Just   
   like Sony and Microsoft, Nintendo is 100% focused on the masses.   
   Nintendo has repeatedly stated that they even want to draw the   
   non-gaming crowd, and they've been doing it with their most "innovative"   
   games.  Performing surgery and petting puppies does not interest me one   
   bit, but it'll sure as heck draw a crowd.  If Nintendo were the new   
   Sega, they'd be focusing on getting old school developers to remake   
   their old games, rather than their current focus with downloadable "old"   
   games as a distant feature.
