I wouldn't call statements like "Nintendo lost" intelligent dialogue...
I'd expect to hear that out of some mainstream/unknowing gamer who claims PS3 will be out in a few months (like many of the customers I encounter), but that's going too far in a message board where financial reports show Nintendo's game business is still a profit-cranking machine, and how they have carved out their own market/profit in spite of what an electronic and/or computer companies (that basically have 7 and 10-year plans for eventual profit) have done...
Sega responded very forefully with Dreamcast (with marketing, retailer support, games, online, etc...), and the Gamecube has already surpassed what was argueably a must-have, valient effort...
Nintendo, instead of responding, just did their own thing, and they doing just fine, with possibly their strongest holiday lineup ever just around the corner...
