Edit: well, my face is red. I read two of the article's quotes out of context (thanks Dogg Thang for pointing these out). All the same, this is some shoddy journalism.
Some choice quotes
"the company is eschewing the relative dead duck GameCube" (funny we never hear of the "dead duck Xbox")
"the console could hardly be dubbed truly portable." (I originally misread this, although it's still questionable)
"Its chunky Fisher Price stylings pale in comparison to the techno-gloss of Sony's rival PlayStation Portable (PSP)." (and this)
"In time honoured tradition, Nintendo has snubbed the loyal band first to take the DS home by releasing a new, improved model, a mere 15 months after it first hit the market." GASP! Technology improving itself?
"The N64 was the only console in the Japanese giant's history to escape the makeover treatment." (Guess they never heard of the transparent versions then?)
Anyone ever noticed how BBC always liked to take digs at the dedicated games companies, Sega and now Nintendo? Yet, they would never dare to slate Sony - who probably provide them with good deals on a lot of pro-broadcast equipment - or Microsoft, who probably provide them with discounted bulk Windows licenses.
So, how does everyone here feel about your license fee money that was probably unwillingly taken from you, being used to fund utter **** like this?
