Actually, if C= was smart and on their toes they would take advantage of a great weakness in Nintendo's product line right now. That being the Nintendo CD-ROM or rather lack thereof. It's a huge black eye that sega just keeps throwing in the face of Nintendo and it is getting worse all the time. The rumored 32 bit cd attachment has been put off "indefinately". What a possible alliance this could be, a 32bit cd console made by commodore, who has no software, sold and marketed by a game giant that has no hardware! This is a marriage made in heaven (I think), it kills two birds with one stone by allowing Nintendo to one up Sega, and Commodore to pull itself up by the bootstraps… Who would buy it ??? Have you visited the gamers conference lately ? Just mention Nintendo CD and they go wild. Have you been to a game store and seen how much people are paying for the software ? $50 $60 $70 for game carts on machines that can't touch the abilities of an Amiga… Heck I'd trade in my Neo Geo for one today… Throw in some LCD 3d glasses and $400 to $500 sounds about right to me….
