I will comment on a few things. I disagree with your steriotypical points on Nintendo making games for little kids. Donkey Kong is not for little kids... I think you want to see Blood or something and THAT is for "big bad" Adults or something. And thats wrong. Nintendo's "efforts" have always been top notch in my opinion. They do what they do well. The Gamecube is an excellent system. I believe that it all events out expense wise for system vs. computer. Both of their pluses and minuses and in the end, it is the persons preference that makes the decision. In the future, I may play games on both. But right now, my computer is mostly for business.
