I was reading in IGN that nintendo may no longer be a console developer. They will instead shift there production much like Sega and begin being a game developer only.
I have been looking for the link to the article but I can't find it.
the main reason for this speculation is due to the fact that Sony and microsoft is already looking for game developers for there next console why nitnedo is only concentrating on the GC, but who knows only time can tell

Note: do not move this as it will effect all consoles and not just Nintendo...
