Hey 993racer, You're right to an extent. Being a relative youngster on this thread like you, I have been knee deap in the game console gorilla games of the past without even knowing it. I saw the Atari 2600 beat Intellivision. Nintendo beat Sega. Sega Genesis pretty much beat out Super Nintendo, though that market was pretty close. Sony Playstation I believe is beating Nintendo 64 as I write, but I think this one is close also. And then there's Playstation 2 coming out later this year in the US. I know a challenger to the Playstation 2 is the Sega Dreamcast (which I currently own), but I think Playstation 2 will beat the Dreamcast down. BWDIK. The problem with the gorilla games in this area is that they end within a year or two as the new consoles come out, starting a new gorilla game. The 'Closed proprietary standard' only stays in a tornado for a year or two until a new tornado is formed with a new standard battle. As soon as a Gorilla is established in our minds, the new battle has started and we've missed our opportunity. If there were some pure play stocks to grab ahold of, like a Sony spinoff, I would probably pay more attention, but right now I've focused on other areas. See ya, cw
