was written a while back.c'est a prendre avec des pincettes.
la ps3,comme ses grandes soeurs,emprunte les chemins de la gloire.
cela se fera tot ou tard.quant-a la 360,bof bof,pas grand chose a dire.
la wii:on n'aura jamais vu une console aussi merdique.lews gens qui
achetent ce produit sous-develope doivent avoir un manque dans leur vie,ou sont toout simplement trop con.

MUNKYPOO6650d ago

i agree. reading this article seems like it was written last year

BloodySinner6650d ago

You're comment should be deleted, but considering the mods apparently do not speak French, they'll never understand what you just said.

Cryos6650d ago

I don't quite get this article.....

All it does is say
"PS3 is sorta like the saturn, but not quite"
"360 has some similarities to the saturn, but there are differences"
and
"the Wii is selling well, but I don't like it"

Then it concludes saying it was written at the end of 2007, and there are no games for the PS3, and that that still holds true now?

How stupid. This guy would have been better off using his time to re-organize his sock drawer.

Harry1906650d ago

yeah i have to agree with you.but what i
said was not so bad.it should have been in the open zone
though.it was kind of a test,to see whether anyone would understand.
mods,my previous comment should be deleted,but you should consider
taking french courses or find someone who can actually understand
what is written,you never know what can happen.sur ce,je retire tout ce que j'ai dit sur les proprietaires de la wii.elle n'est pas si mal apres tout.ce sont les jeux et non les consoles qui font notre plaisir,quoique l'esprit ne sert qu'a peu de choses sans le corps.

Well, another fanboy article. Pretty much a "tunnel-vision" look at things. Fails to see the big picture.

Lifendz6650d ago

and it was great at 2D games. Who would've thought that 2D wouldn't continue to dominate like it did in SNES and Genesis days? Then PS came out and it all changed. Wipeout, Tekken, and Warhawk were all amazing at the time. And then FFVII came and it was over.

I still enjoyed some 2D fighting games and a little number called Guardian Heroes on my Saturn, but my PS became my love.

Not sure if any of the current consoles would suffer the same fate as Sega. Between Sega CD, 32X, and then Saturn it was like a new console every 6 months (hyperbole of course).

PirateThom6650d ago

What? Dropping support of a console to quickly rush another to market?

name6650d ago

The dreamcast was the next sega saturn.

PirateThom6650d ago

The only difference was that the Dreamcast actually had good games. It was just gimped because Sega lost the consumer's trust.

Skerj6650d ago (Edited 6650d ago )

And it was easier to program for, probably Saturn's biggest flaw. Sega didn't initially intend on the Saturn being a 3d system so much as a 2d powerhouse and when they saw the PS1 they threw some half assed 3d tech in. A lot of 3d Saturn games were ugly back then when they were new, but quite a few of them were damn fun like Panzer Dragoon Saga.

ALL 3 companies will be well and alive. At least i hope so.

Lol How Did You Get A Disagree ? Did Everyone In Nintendo Die While i Was In The Toilet ? Have Some Bubbles for your troubles !

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle25d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

jznrpg31d ago

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Smellsforfree30d ago

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai30d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde32d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy32d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12532d ago (Edited 32d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
