Sophmoric, but not that way...

The wisdom of fools is usually to be avoided, but the Motley Fools tend to know what they speak of. In this case not even a gamer, but suprisingly upbeat about Nintendo's future.

I'm not much of a video gamer, but I'm a huge fan of companies that succeed through creativity, and I'm glad to see Nintendo winning praise for trying something different. Its bizarre brainstorms might just be the company's ticket back to the heights of video-game royalty. True, the Revolution will need a solid lineup of games to match the promise of its nifty new controller and lure third-party game developers back to its system. But this is a company that made a plumber, an ape, and a little elf guy into worldwide superstars. I'm willing to give Nintendo the benefit of the doubt on this.

I think his assumptions about what must compliement Nintendo's Revolution are true, and quite evident to Nintendo. And I think this is a very good sign. And, I hope, one more step to a future where children may say, "Sony used to make video games?".

Or, judging by Sega, it might be "Sony used to make hardware?"

Anyhow, I wonder if the fact that they're a lock for 3rd, instead of competing for 1st place, does indeed free them up to be less conservative.
