Sure nintendo sold an impressive amount of consoles but it didnt put much money in their pockets. Nintendo is in the red for the past couple years losing millions of dollars. Im not talking a few million im saying hundreds. So no nintendo isnt the king of this generation.

Microsoft is known for releasing products shortly after announcing them. If a new console is announced next year then it will be out by Xmas.
Personally im on the fence whether they will launch in 2012 or not. Microsoft already has a lot on the table for 2012. Windows 8 among other things.
You do realize that the xbox was launched during a time when Playstation reigned supreme. Playstation was unstoppable and everyone loved the brand.
Fast forward to today. The xbox brand is a household name with equal or more fans then the playstation. Where did these new xbox fans come from?
If you had to name one console brand that has made huge strides in commercial success this generation it is xbox without question. The fact that articles like this ev...

What i do miss about consoles is the social aspect of gaming. Sure you can play with friends on PC but it isnt as streamlined as consoles.
It may sound odd for a PC gamer to say but i look forward to microsofts re-launch of xbox live for windows. If the service means i can play xbox games with my console friends while still maintaining the graphical power of my PC hardware then im all for it. I would be more then happy to pay for the service.
Im not sure how anyone could play on PS3/360 after playing on a decent PC. Even exclusives i find hard to play with all the jaggies and muddy textures.
Im presently playing Skyrim on PC with my 360 gamepad hooked up to a 55 inch LED TV. I couldnt imagine playing any other way.
Most girl gamers seem to love male attention. They like to have "girl" in there clan name or some other reference to let all the guys know they are female. They obviously do this because they want special attention and be treated differently.
Maybe they do this because they crave male attention in real life. Lets face it these girls dont look like the one in the pic of the article.
I find that infinity ward versions of the game relies more on run and gun arcade-like gameplay mechanics. Treyarch slows the game down a bit and removes many cheap tactics.
I prefer treyarch lately.
I have this game for my PC and love it. No matter what game comes out PC players cry over the game for the same usual reasons. There is no satisfying us it seems. I dont have a fraction of the problems that many PC gamers seem to have with PC games.
This may be a little off topic but has anyone noticed how COD has evolved into a more run and gun style game since MW1 ? It feels like super human soldiers running at 'panther" like speeds shooting each other.
I agree potedude. Violence is violence. It dont matter what sex is beating who. Its still equally wrong.
In TV sitcoms you always see some guy getting smacked by a female and everyone thinks its funny but if a man did it to a female its terrible. Sure a man is "usually" stronger but that dont have nothing to do with it.
What is good for one gender should be fine for the other. Equality for all!!
I was hoping for gamepad support like black ops had for PC multiplayer. From what im hearing there is none. Most new games have built in support since many PC gamers use gamepads instead of a mouse + keyboard now.
MW3 seems like a step backward in many areas when it comes to the PC version.
An extra copy on store shelves then. Hopefully it will be a hardened edition so i can pick one up after work tomorrow.
Cant wait!! Im loving this game on PC with my 360 controller!! Im kicking ass on my 55 inch LED on ultra settings at 1920X1080 resolutions.
Dont believe the keyboard + mouse lovers. You will do great with your gamepad. If you have some extra money grab a PC.
Soon it will be pure digital game downloads that are tied to a persons profile. Gamestop and others will be put out of business. Movie rental stores are closing everywhere because of digital movie content becoming the norm. The game industry will soon follow.

The actual install size on pc is 11.4 GB. I checked again after it was fully installed.
Im downloading the Origin PC version now. Its 11.4 GB. I expected the PC version to be a little bigger. Oh well. Cant wait!!!!
Im a console gamer that converted to PC months ago. I see many articles trying to point out the benefits of PC gaming but i find that very few traditional PC gamers actually wants to embrace new gamers. Its sorta contradicting.
Take for example....if a newly converted PC gamer asks about gamepad support for an upcoming game, he will not get a real answer but he will get the K/M superiority speech which will discourage the console gamer from gaming on PC.

I usually dont get excited over trailers but this looks amazing. Almost brings a tear to my eye....no i'll be honest it actually did. :)
The people that complain over COD are an extremely small percentage compared to the people that love it. No need to take offence to articles like this. Not many feel this way in the real world. Sales will show this.
Personally i will be buying battlefield 3 and MW3 day one. I will enjoy both games as well as the other great titles coming out.
I havent really paid much attention to news on the PS vita but from what im hearing you need an expensive sony memory card to save games?? What happened to cloud storage? Microsoft will have cloud storage for PC/xbox/phone. You will be able to play across platforms with the same save file.
I cant see this being a good thing for Vita if its true.
