Intel Viiv Platform... and Apple?

But seriously, Nintendo is the only console player without a PC companion and Apple isn't known for being a gaming platform. I say mutually advantageous!

I agree on this: both companies make what they think is right, not what everyone else is doing.

Even their presentations look similar (after Microsoft and Sony showed lots of slides with polygons and floating point computing numbers on them, Nintendo showed everyone a huge "3" alone on a slide: "We can show you big numbers too." Priceless). 😀

Maybe the expereience was because of the hardware?

The experience is what you do with the hardware: it comes from the software (even if the limitations are hardware).

I'd rather have a system that's 20% slower than the others but with good software/games for it. My Mac mini is slower than my old PC but OS X/iLife/iWork makes me more productive in the end.

If you look at Xbox 360/PS3 vs Revolution: what good is a powerful system if it's noisy and can't play Metroid Prime 3?
