What exactly is this Megaton deal? Over the past couple months a “Megaton†announcement has been almost constantly talked about, so to assess you all let's take a recap of the entire “Megaton†announcement possibilities. Firstly, a huge lineup of online titles including Cube Wars Online, Pokemon Online, and Mario Kart Online was rumored. Then, with SEGA's decreasing faith in the Xbox, Nintendo was rumored to be considering a buyout of SEGA. And after Capcom's staggering losses in the last fiscal year, it was concluded that Nintendo might buy Capcom for a low price to get them out of their rut. The second newest rumor would be a GCN price drop to $100 due to some ads leaking out of a few retailers. But there is one way every single one of these wonderful things could happen.
That is that Nintendo could sue Sony Computer Entertainment for every dime of their Playstation [1 & 2] revenue and all of the rights to the Playstation name.
Nintendo would instantly become filthy rich and would have the PS2's whole essence in its gold-embroidered hands. Nintendo's next generation user base would be pumped from 5 million to nearly 40 million, and with the Gameboy sometime beating on the PS2 in monthly sales on its own, Nintendo would not know what to do with its limitless cash flow.
If the lawsuit actually happened the third-parties who might be bought right now (Sega, Capcom) would be bought easily for huge sums of money, and most of the developer/publishers ties with the Xbox would be squandered due to Nintendo pumping them the cash.
Then, Nintendo could start an online venture and make it extremely affordable, with a lot of compatible first-party and third-party games at launch. And finally, the GCN's price would be dropped to $100.
By that point, the Xbox would be pushed away into a little corner, swimming in its own self-pity while faithful Xboxers stare into the Nintendo abyss in disbelief.
The thing is, this lawsuit would be too good to be true. And for that reason, it most likely will never happen. But, it’s always nice to dream.
Wouldn't that be lovely, don't ask where i got it, just off a stie i can't remember the name.
