Pok�mon Stadium, Pok�mon Stadium 2, Picachu Genki Decku - the one with the microphone, and Pok�mon Snap.
Hmm. Four. That's a lot. We've nine games at home, and none of them are Pok�mon related.

There is a very, very simple reason why console games make more money than PC games.
Everyone pirates PC games, there are much fewer people that pirate console games(well if you exclude emulators ;D)
And btw, PC games are way, way, way better. Because consoles use inferior old technology. Computers use Windows to kind of even it out, but people that use a non Msoft OS have a clear advantage over consoles.

I didn't mean that HALF of all the games were Pokemon but half od the money made is Pokemon related. Let me ask you this how long was it when the first Playstation was out? How long was Dreamcast was out before it became behind even N-64? How long did Nintendo wait before making the Super NES then N-64?
N-64 is still popular because the games they make are fairly good, I'm not saying that PS and PS2 are not good either, its just that Nintendo has a reputation in the console business. Gamecube or whatever it called is being developed because of two reasons: 1. increased pressure from Dreamcast and PS2. 2. Make more money.

Despite Nimrod's kindly attempt to keep this thread on topic, it seems as though we've somehow wandered into the realm of video game economics. While an interesting topic in and of itself, it doesn't really qualify as a sci-fi topic, and therefore (after much pondering), I've decided to close this thread. Should you wish to continue discussing the economics of the video game industry, please do so in the Officers' Lounge (or, should you think it a volatile enough topic, the Flameboard ).
