...scariest scenario is that Musharraf's fellow military officers are plotting against him. (Musharraf could cede control of the military in months; under the agreement with legislators legitimizing his presidency, he promised to step down as army Chief of Staff by 2005.)

In fact, game analyst Hisakazu Hirabayashi insists that scenario has already happened. "Since around 2000, Nintendo was no longer a member of the video-game industry. Its philosophy and method are fundamentally different from the other console and software companies. It's not a loser only because it's taken itself out of the race." Every kid who's booted...
