Do they still have a chance to keep the platform going?


I don't think the GBA will go away anytime soon.  There's nothing better on the market for handheld consoles (despite what McEwen tells the world). Perhaps the GP32, but that hasn't made the slightest impact on the Nintendo dominance.

This is a bit out of topic, but anyway:

Am I the only one who've noticed that Sony and Nintendo now are the good guys of video gaming in general?

Sony swept the market away with insane amounts of dollars when the PSX was launched, and they managed to completely take over the market at the expense of Sega and Nintendo. They weren't very popular at first as the new kids in town.

Nintendo formed price cartels in Europe (got a nice fine by the EU court some months a go) to keep the prices up in the different countries. And during the NES and SNES era they were known for robbing the developers from their hard earned money.

And then, in comes M$ with a nice pile of cash like Sony did.

The result:
M$ is evil and only wants to make money at the expense of others.
Sony and Nintendo only wants to make great games for the kids to enjoy.

oh the irony.  :-D
