 PROFILE
It's not a game, boy, it's serious business, and Nintendo Co., one of the Big Three video game console makers, knows it. Its 64-bit N64 console system battles Sony's PlayStation as the world's top game system (struggling SEGA is behind them both). Nintendo's Game Boy system remains the handheld console leader, selling more than 100 million units since 1989. Nintendo has chosen to stay with a cartridge format rather than switching to cheaper disc-based systems (at least until its GameCube console is launched in late 2001). The company is the game software market leader; hit series include "Pokemon", "Super Mario", and "The Legend of Zelda".
