i think chipotle is delicious. it is the mcdonald's of mexicali
Somewhat literally: McDonalds holds a huge stake in Chipotle. Except Chipotle is way healthier and works better than most fast food joints.
Depending on what you get, I suppose.
They had won big with the Wii, turning profits on each console sold while the competition lost with each sale. But now they're facing the problem with the Wii being abandoned in households rather quickly and the decrease in software sales that brings.
DS aside, can Nintendo really be considered as a company that does few things well when the longevity of 1/2 their flagship lineup is in jeopardy?
It's no surprise 37signals is based in Chicago (I just did a whois) if they think Chipotle does Mexican food "well".

I'm not so sure that the Nintendo Wii should be considered as a good example for this sort of thing anymore.

First I've heard of it, can you point to anything to back that up?

But every In-N-Out I've ever been to has a line out the door. Taco Bell may have a larger menu but I doubt they have anywhere near the per-store revenues or profit margin of an In-N-Out.
> But every In-N-Out I've ever been to has a line out the door. That could also be explained by the fact that there are far less In-N-Out locations than Taco Bell, so one store has to handle demand from over a larger area than Taco Bells. If In-N-Out has the same density of locations as a Taco Bell, the per-store revenues will be quite different.
(this isn't to say Taco Bell's business is poor, I'd just rather do what In-N-Out does)

Admittedly my remark about the console being abandoned quickly was a hasty generalization. I took into account some reports from 2007 that questioned the longevity of the Wii and had gathered the percentage of people in Japan that used the system frequently. That and experiences my friends and others I know online have had with their Wiis.
