How will the company fair in 2006? PC Magazine predicts that the company will fade from the home console market if the Revolution is not a hit. From the article: “Expect Nintendo’s delayed Zelda title to be the must-play game next spring, but unless the Revolution is a home run, Nintendo will fade by the fall.

As reported by Reuters, the President of Nintendo, Satoru Iwata, has revealed that the Nintendo DS has sold a record 5.44 million units since release in Japan. That’s only 13 months after launch, making it one of the fastest selling systems in existence.

While on my way home to Los Angeles from Saint Paul, I spied this woman killing time at the airport gate by playing her jet black Game Boy Advance SP at the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport. I only wish she’d had a DS so I could’ve challenged her in a mid-flight Mario Kart showdown. Let the battle for the spare bag of peanuts begin!

Since the Revolution was shown off this past May, there’s been a lot of chatter about it’s release. When? How much? Nintendo has given us very little to base our predictions off of. Today, though, I came upon some exciting information. My mom runs the Customer Service department at the local Target. She know the local Nintendo representative (brings in new demos, sets up Nintendo produ...

Apparently, Costco is selling Gameboy Micros for $49 after an instant $10 rebate. A reader writes: “I just came back from my local Costco which is in San Francisco and to my surprise they were selling the Gameboy Micro for $49.97!” At least in the Bay area, but head over to the wholesaler warehouse to see if you can pick up the best designed hardware of 2005. [Thanks, Douglas]
