The great console wars

Company reports don't normally generate much of a buzz among gamers. After all, ploughing through strands of infuriatingly complex numbers isn't half as entertaining as hammering your way through Liberty City or belting around the tracks on Mario Kart.

"Which console do you think is best? Have your say on our message boards."

lol...feed them, and let them go rampant on your message boards. Good job MSN.

Tut6572d ago

Hahaha! True.

I think their numbers are very wrong though:

"For every even-handed gamer who concedes that, yes, each console has something different to offer, there’s a devoted fan who would rather downgrade to a 1980s Vic 20 than play on either of the other rival machines." -Nik Taylor (MSN)

I think it would be more accurate to say that for every even-handed gamer there are ten devoted fans.

For what it's worth it is a pretty great article. He wasn't trying to prove anything was better and even ended with a nice community quote to support that fact. Refreshing... I love breaks away from the constant competition every once in a while.

The console war exists only in the empty pockets of children

I have a PS3, a 360, and a Wii.

I guess I won the console war.

Haha, Nostradamus, you cheered me up.

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.

solideagle18d 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.

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.

Smellsforfree24d 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.

Loktai24d 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.

DarXyde25d 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.

Soy26d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12525d ago (Edited 25d ago )

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