I am glad Nintendo has "gotten back into the game" with the GameCube and Game Boy Advance. I think this is one of Nintendo's brightest days since the release of the N64. With the increasing hype of Super Mario Sunshine, Metroid Prime, and StarFox Adventures, things just seem to be getting better for the Big-N!
Anyway, here's my topic:
Okay, I am extremely angry about Microsoft even coming to the games industry in the first place. They had no business creating a videogame console! What was their reason for it anyway, to try to monopolize yet another industry? Microsoft has had troubles in the past when it came to monopolizing, so I would expect they have learned their lesson by now... but no, dumb ol' Microsoft had to join the competition that is already intense enough with Sony and good ol' Nintendo!
The same with Sony, they had no business making videogames. They suck at it for one thing--plus the company doesn't really have any experience with videogame technology.
Why is the videogame industry becoming populated by non-videogame companies? Is it because of the huge amounts of money involved, or is it just for the respect of consumers?
