 Some Microsoft hardware hasn't fared so well, though the company deserves credit for continuing to plug away: A trackball for kids, the EasyBall, never really took off, for example, and an innovative game controller featuring tactile feedback, the Freestyle Pro, never found much of an audience either.

Maybe it'll die off soon?

C'mon guys dont go buying an xbox just because Rare is developing games for it now!!!! Thats exactly what micro$soft want you to do!!!!!

I say fuck Rare off!!! I was once a loyal supporter of them and now they backstab us all. They have shown they are money hungry losers just like the rest. Their huge Nintendo fan base will be abolished.

Nintendo will pull through without Rare. It has been hinted that they have plans to purchase part of other developers to become second party developers for Nintendo anyway.

Also if M$ are smart (which they definately arent), they will port Rare games to the GCN as well. They wont make nearly as much money as they did with Nintendo.

Ohh... I almsot forgot. I dont know if you guys already know, but M$ have been getting into a bit of trouble with NVIDIA!! They have been trying to force Nvidia to create chips at unbelievably low prices. Because of this, Nvidia have been losing money and they are now in court with them.
Ill try and find the article about it and I'll put a link to it in my next post.

I wouldn't worry about Rare and Nintendo, not after reading this link: The Register
-------------------------
-------------------------
"Nintendo thinks that it's pulled a fast one over Microsoft, demanding a fairly substantial quantity of cash for a company whose founders - the elusive Stamper brothers - are planning to depart the industry and whose worth as a developer they obviously consider to have declined."

not so much of a surprise since it cropped up in its own thread two days ago.

Also, moderators cannot split up threads on this board, they can only move entire threads, so if your post is in the wrong forum, it's because you put it there. Problem with cached pages in your browser perhaps? that's the only explanation i can think of...
