I look at Nintendo as a consumer electronics company rather than simply a game machine maker. How many more game machines can one country buy? I don't know, but I would bet that Nintendo has a good guess of when they expect to hit that saturation point and they would like to get into new ventures. CBM has a good product at (until recently) a good price. Nintendo could move into the CD ROM machine business and the home computer market very easily. As far as dumping the higher end machines, I think that a 16bit Nintendo can give an Amiga 500 a serious run for its money right now, as far as game playing is concerned. Why would they sink truckloads of money into old technology,.. technology that they obviously already have. If they do want CBM for the ultimate game machine then the VR concept may be valid. But VR demands much more than a 68000 at 7.14mhz. Bill – via Whap!
