The key to Nintendo's success thus far is due to it's innovation in the field of console gaming. Complete motion controls and balance boards are not very common in the gaming industry, people are willing to experiment with new innovations. Wii's hardware and software are prime examples. Wiis are flying off the shelves faster then you can say, "The."
The highest selling software that the Wii has currently is anything that was bundled in with the Wii, carries the Wii name...
Jenzo, exactly right. Doing great would be Nintendo, they went from 3rd place (Gamecube) to 1st place. (Wii, DS)
Nintendo is practically swimming in money for using innovative controllers and attracting the casuals.
Microsoft was always 2nd, in this console war and the last console war. Discontinuing the Xbox may have been the right decision as it's library wasn't the strongest out there and it's hardware cost to much to produce.
Sony on the other hand w...
The most intelligent thing for Sony to do right now is hold off on a price cut before the holidays and see how much profit they get out of the holiday season. The problem with that still is that people may still think it's overpriced and not as many people would buy it because of the price.
The most logical thing to get sales and profit is to either:
A. Drop the price slightly, $50 dollars will do, or bundle the PS3 with Blu-ray movies and games to attract sales
I stand corrected, the 360 and PS3 are at lower numbers then I once thought. Thanks Sarcasm.
I still don't believe that Microsoft would count replacement consoles as SOLD consoles, I'm sure that's in someway illegal. They might put them down as shipped but there's no way in hell they could count replacement consoles as SOLD consoles.
I know Microsoft loves to lie and inflate numbers but so does all the other companies. I don't doubt that they'll reach 24 million by t...
Wow, after playing this game at my friends, the best levels in the game are the ones online. Such as this one, if more of these get removed, I see no point of LBP. The entire concept of LBP is to create, share, play. Not create, share, remove.
You guys do realize that it's ILLEGAL to fake your numbers, right? If Microsoft really did fake their numbers, by now, somebody would have found out and sued them hardcore and leave with sacks of cash. If they really did use the replacement consoles as "shipped" numbers, how would that affect "installed" or "sold" numbers? Conspiracy theories these days...
It wasn't 22 million 2 months ago, I don't know where you're getting this info. Microsoft said ...
OK, how come everyone can troll Halo and don't get they're comments deleted by the mod? I see someone has, and I doubt they're trolling Halo.
Honestly guys,
Halo 3 = 300 000 people playing everyday.
Halo 3 = The most played professional competition online game
Halo 3 = Forge mode + Video mdoe
Halo 3 = 4 player co-op
Halo 3 = Huge developer support and fan following
Apparently that's bad? Can I ask you how many games have all of those? ...
You guys just love misinforming everyone don't you? Live hasn't really crashed outside of the USA. Personally, I crashed once for about 45 seconds, that's about it.
PSN is a great service for free, but LIVE has a lot more features. Personal preferences.
I doubt PSN would stay up if 14 million people download something, I doubt LIVE will either on Wednesday.
Sadly guys, this most likely is another Rare joke. Kotaku and Maxconsole are really gullible for believing the LOG in Banjo. After playing Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts, you can obviously not take the LOG seriously.
Yeah, holiday season of 2007 was basically this generation's Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando and Halo 2. Right in the midst of the generation. The Shadow of Colossus and the late stuff will be around 2009-2010.
I'm quite open to the idea of a new Xbox, hopefully with alien technology and nuclear powered CPUs. Now we're talking next generation!
I'd buy one if the price is right, no more than $399. They could make it as cheap as they wanted, as long as it is super reliable. It damn well better be reliable Microsoft.
Seeing how the Crysis developers have cited that this generation will probably hit a graphics wall sometime soon, hopefully this Xbox will break that graphics wal...
Same here lol.
darkpower... It's quite apparent that you are a strong Sony supporter, and defender judging from your past comments. If you have nothing to post about the actual NXE itself than don't post here. Certainly do not attack other members for disagreeing with the things the author of NEGATIVEGAMER has put down. It's funny, how you're here posting about the NXE where negative things have been posted where there's another NXE article listing all the great features.
When Rockstar said storage issues, they meant disc storage, meaning DVD vs. Blu-ray.
Exactly, it's basically Second Life, Sims, and Habbo Hotel HD. Don't tell me Sony came up with the idea long before those came into fruition.
AAA Game of the Century
Same here, I bought the standard version and I requested for a LE code and I got one, Master Chief armor + energy sword FTW!
darkpower... If you go on Major Nelson's blog for the NXE info, you'd know by now that some themes don't have the bottom part of the NXE UI. It's not discrediting, it's a valid question. How could he know ALL his themes were cut in half by the UI? The new themes will or won't have the bottom part, depending.
EDIT:
Woah, no one was mentioning SDF or any conspiracy or anything here. Someone mentioned how he could know how the themes were cut in half if he couldn't change it. ...
How is the NXE a rip-off of other applications? NXE is reminiscent of the Media Center for Windows, and the Avatar idea has been floating around for ages.
I guess Microsoft or "M$" ripped off Netflix off Nintendo and Sony right?
I don't doubt that Microsoft does illegal things, actually, I'm quite aware that they do. They bought out competition before, they lied before, they done it all before.
I'm just saying that if they have been doing it this generation, someone must have caught them, people would want some of Microsoft's money from bribes or suing.
The press would be all over Microsoft once again if they found out the scandal.
