I've always enjoyed Pulse & Digital Life for the Australian take on tech matters. US/UK podcasts talk about products we don't have and services not available in Aus so Pulse was far more relevant.

Having listened to every Pulse podcast I will miss it and look forward to whatever format it returns in.

Did the HP internet ePrinter ever recover from printing the entire 250 full colour page Ricoh sustainability report? :-)

Keaton, so if a company is 110 years old, theres no possible way it can fail? Good point, well made.

I agree Nintendo will struggle in this new environment, they did well with the Wii, but can't imagine their new console making such a big impact, esp with mobile games taking much of the "fun" accessible space in which they operate. There's only so many Mario shirts I can buy to keep them going.

Agreed - Nintendo did well with the Wii: but for me, it's now relegated to a party console, one that you whip out when friends come over and you play some Rayman, Guitar Hero or similar: the motion controls suit that really well in my opinion. But when I get home from work and feel like sitting down and playing a console, I don't want to have to be standing up waving my arms around. Because of that, I have bought hardly any games for it (not that I've bought many other games anyway...)

Nintendo's greatest asset in my opinion is their IP: Mario, Zelda and their ilk. If you want to play any of those, you HAVE to play them on Nintendo consoles. If Nintendo gave up the console game and licensed out their IP, I think they'd be in a much better place, especially with mobile gaming (have you seen how many Mario clones there are around?).

But I'm not a business strategist, and I would assume (and hope!) that Nintendo's already considered this...

Speaking of Zelda, I've been watching this like a hawk since last year. Argh.
