Next Generation Online - April 1998 said:Nintendo's Next Machine
With the N64's poor performance in Japan, Nintendo is trying to begin the design of its next system. Unfortunately, uncompromising management and other industry factors have stymied it at every step.
Nintendo is in the unenviable position of having to come up with a new console while its current offering flounders in Japan and Europe.
Although experts acknowledge that the video games business is surprisingly incestuous by even Jerry Springer's standards, recent developments taking place within two of Seattle's biggest corporations have made that fact clear for the whole world to see. Next Generation Online exclusively reports on how Nintendo and Microsoft wound up eyeing the same company's chipset for the year 2000's biggest game console.
readers need to understand that decisions and relationships made early in the design process of a new console can dictate a company's standing in the industry for the following five years.
Ripple effects from these decisions can be felt in a company's bottom line can be felt for even longer.
