Hey look! They make their own hardware and software!
MegamanU.
You can make it 3d, or you can make it 2d.
I know it won't happen but I can dream can't I?
Nintendo knows what they're doing.
Your controllers are outdated.
So you're all for graphics getting better but you don't want to play games differently?
Why have a new console if you're not going to do something different with your hardware?
Having a screen on your controller doesn't mean you have to look at it, but then again, you don't know what you're talking about.
So they've decided to use a remote/nunchuk-gamepad hybrid...
Well, at least it's not a Super Nintendo controller anymore.
best of luck to them.
No-one in this business takes Pachter seriously. He's in the business of making money on who does well in the industry.
When it comes to gaming, he's now a liability.
Keyword "looks". You called it clumsy without playing it? that's funny.
You do realize that the Playstation controller hasn't changed since Super Nintendo right?
throw in 2 sticks and 2 shoulder buttons.
At least separate the controller. Throw in a motion sensor... maybe you could have a Wiimote?...
I'm quite certain this is actually what the controller is going to be.
Currently designed controllers are outdated. Whatever controller you've got is going to be similar to a controller derived from a Nintendo console anyway, just own up to it.
Hardware developers are too worried about creating anything "new" as there is too much risk involved.
That's why you have the "kinect" and "move" stumbling out of the gate. You can't have hardware developers innovating something brand new without some so...
Ah, they're fanboys! They worship their consoles like bigots listen to talk radio. Any bad news for Nintendo is music to their ears. They are determined to scoff at the gamepad, that they would sabatoge their own appreciation for games. Not because it's "gimmicky" or "clunky", but because they worry about their own personal brand. They probably should be worried, the industry is changing. Maybe they're just tired of Nintendo being invulnerable. We've seen c...
"Microsoft is a few years late on that RROD"... oh wait, he didn't say that! XD
Pachter's "expertise" is always a welcomed in the land of Nintendo!! We need more fodder for the desperate fanboys that can't stand Nintendo anymore. Let them consume the glimmering hope that their brand demands. It's like hanging a carrot over your heads. Can we get more investment advice from this guy? As far as I can tell, Sony has been a safe investment, aside from t...
Actually I think Nintendo streamlined everything here when it comes to console gaming. His point isn't about "being first". The point is that Nintendo historically isn't behind with the times. You would do well to get 'your' facts straight.
Sony tried to charge me $150 for a refurb, and '360 Pro's' fixed "my" Playstation 3 for $100.
need I say more?
I sure hope Sony gets their house in order. I'll still play Sony systems. They'll have to do more than have a few exclusives to earn any more of my dollars.
Vita fans got screwed too. Nintendo will have its 3ds XL out next year.
I never cared for Pokemon, but I'm sure it'll be great.
There's so many other topics I'd rather be talking about.
GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL!!
After the RROD fiasco, how can you not wait for this thing?
I've pretty much already made up my mind that I'm getting one, but like any new device, the first shipments always have problems, even Apple.
I'm really psyched to see what they come up with.
Just wait for more Nintendo games to come out. We'll see if they just gerrymandered a copy of the iPad. I have a sense that Apple will do what it can to mitigate Nintendo's success. Sure they will both do just fine on their own. But I find that they each appeal to their own crowd.
For those who want to pretend that "Move" wasn't a response to the Wii remote, I would point to the fact that Sony didn't release Move until well after Wii came out. Hones...
Yeah sure, the launch is always going to be good. Nintendo claims they have something up their sleeve when summer rolls around and sales begin to taper off. I'm not entirely convinced that a large portion of 1st party software is being held back to drum up more enthusiasm for the system. Although I have noticed that advertising has been dismal in support for WiiU, they may be waiting to come out in full force. Again, I can't emphasize 3rd party support enough. Launch games must show s...
Game Over
Come on folks! PLAYSTATION 4 "INQUIRES"?
Isn't it "query"? or at least "inquiries"?
GOD and I haven't read any of it yet!!
What's funny is that you wouldn't really be here if you weren't all "fanboys". Just own it.
Has Sony done a good job of convincing consumers why they can't go on in the gaming world without a Vita? Probably not.
There's reason to be concerned in this business. The gaming industry as a whole is in trouble no matter where you look. "Downloads", "casuals", "Apple", "smart phones", there are many reasons. They ...
I meant that I felt like Ocarina of Time was still lacking in some ways. It was extremely similar to A Link to the Past. Navi kind of ruined it in a lot of ways. I could keep harping about the little things I didn't like about it, but it was only because I had impossible expectations. Then Skyward Sword just had everything you'd expect and more. I really had no complaints with it. I actually haven't finished it yet because I don't want it to end. I really think this is the cro...
they do please, that's what drives them crazy...
