managed to nab 3 controllers and goldeneye, and he plays it with his
two younger brothers.  says it's a blast.  and that's coming from a kid
who used to despise nintendo, worshiped the PlayStation.  (once again,
yes i do like playstation too.)  also, we have very little idea about
how 3rd party support is coming with the n64.  You saw how DKR was a
complete suprise.  looks like nintendo likes to be very hush-hush on
their 3rd party developers.  i hear rumblings of capcom making a few
n664 games, though (Marvel super heroes vs. Street fighter, i hope.)
although there's no doubt  playstation has tons more 3rd party support,
i wouldn't be suprised to see nintendo churn out killer 3rd party games
this year.  of course, playstaton has my fav game coming out in
february, the greatest puzzle game of all time, bust a move 3!  (cheers
and applause)

       I'm not sure if Sony should release a new system.  The PSX has only
been about 70% tapped.  There's still a lot to do with the system.  But the
new system could produce better graphics and shorter load times.  Imagine
playing Lara Croft on PS2.  She would look JUST like the FMV.  The world
would loook like the FMV.  Now that would be awesome!  If I was Sony, I'd
wait until the current PSX was falling.  I haven't seen a sign of that.
Sony sold 2 millions systems in less than a month!  That's a record!  The PSX
will live on.
P.S.   If the PS2 was compatible with PSX games, then it would be worth the
money.
