Nolan Bushnell is a legendary gaming personality and founder of what was once one of the biggest and most influential companies in games: Atari. He recently spoke to the BBC, warning that Nintendo may be doomed to suffer the same fate as his own Atari did, a long trip down the path to irrelevance.

Bushnell said that the poor sales of the Wii U means the Japanese firm is left in a "very difficult position". Indeed, industry analysts have drawn parallels between Atari's doomed Jaguar console in 1993 and the struggling Wii U. Speaking on what happened to his own Atari, Bushnell said it had been "abused by corporate charlatans" after a "glorious beginning."

Is he right, or just 8-bitter?

Hey, a 50% speed difference is only a 33.3% speed difference the other way around.

Also, your jiff shows the xbone is a hurdle that will slow the PS4 down OMG the symbolism Half Life 3 confirmed ;O;

Wasn't it originally? I swear it was and a mod just moved it later.

Besides, it's still posted as news, even if it's not in the USN section.
It was originally, until we all complained how that shit isn't news.
Now that I look at it a second time, I remember that thread. I think I even commented on it...

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.
