re: amazing: that's why there earnings are so great.... they're selling everything that comes out of the factory. They're using mostly last-gen (cheap) technology, so the margins are high. Great to see a risky strategic move really resurrect Nintendo to its former glory.

go wii!: im happy to read about the upbeat performance and outlook in
2008 for nintendo. if these guys managed to make it to the top
of the heap with the family computer line in the 90's, they can
continue to lead the pack for years to come for as long as they
continue to set their own direction- think out of the box.

didnt they invent or popularize the gamepad then when joysticks
were the standard?

go nintendo people are routing for you!
