Yeah, Nintendo can take anything. They took Sega's insuting ads in the 16 bit era, they can take Microsoft.
But, no matter how much energizing food you load up on before a marathon, you can't run the whole way without a bottle of water every few miles or so. The same is true with M$. They lose money all the time and almost (but not quite) break even with their overpriced accesoroes. Like their DVD player built into the Xbox. They say it's free, but you can't use it without the $30 remote.
Also, they have no first party games that I think of off the top of my head, other than Halo, and I think a soncond party worked on it some.
First party games make Nintendo not only rich but faumous. Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Donkey Kong, Starfox, and others. They have mastermind Shigeru Myamoto(sp?) behind them, and they have power. They don't jump hurtles, they toppel them to the groun, leaving them useless.
I am FLUDD, the Flash Liquidizing Ultra Dousing Device. I hope to be of assistance.
