Anyway, if Nintendo switched to only having a handheld console and supporting other consoles, the only thing that would worry me is an emphasis on networking gaming over "party" gaming. I'm not too inclined to go looking for random strangers online who may or may not be cheating and who might be spending an umilimted amount of time practicing, but I would like to make sure I have great "get folks together on the couch" games to play.
Actually most games that are online enabled also have mulitplayer (split screen and system link) capabilities, making these nice "party" games as well. If that's all your into then haveing the ability to play online would just be viewed as a bonus if you ever decide to go that route.

Also, I think Nintendo's hardware is the most visually attractive out there.
I'm less concerned with the way the console I buy looks... I'm just gonna change the color of it anyway.

Is it true that the next Final Fantasy installment will be GameCube only? If so, that should surely boost some sales.
The next installment in the Final Fantasy series is FFXI and it's a PS2 exclusive and I believe online only. FF Chronicles is a FF spin off adventure I believe but I really lost count of all of them after number 8.
