if anyone has a key they arent gonna use, ill take it :P
i download pretty much every pc game that i can before i buy them. im just not gonna spend 50$ on something that i dont know if im gonna like. i play it for a few hours and if i like it i buy it.
i think its pretty fair, if they make something i like i pay them for it, if they make something that i dont like i dont buy it.
how can i vote with my dollar if i dont know what im voting for? if i like a game and would like developers to keep making games like it, i pay for...
they'll have to stay on the market for 4 more years without any declines to get to 100 million hardware sales. considering theyre already behind in their sales so far this year (compares to last year) i doubt they'll see even one year without hardware declines.
hm... you seem to be using some pretty old statistics...
microsofts IE browser hasnt been the most used for 3-4 years, and since then its fallen to the third most used, firefox is the most used browser followed by googles chrome, microsofts IE has dropped to less than a 1/4th of the market share.
every year in the last six years (since firefox launched) microsoft has lost about 10% marketshare
msn is the third most IM used and it only has something li...
im pretty sure ps3 can play .wtv
hm... i thought codecs for .wmv were distributed for free by microsoft, meaning they cant charge for using them
if someone else was willing to spare a key i would take one too :P
it sold about twice as much in NA than in EU, im gonna assume that the other publisher was willing to give more money than sony was
yes i think they did.
the price drops in the uk are retailer related, retailers are dropping the price, not nintendo. when retailers drop a price its because its usually because they think they can make more money because of an increase in sales or its taking up too much shelf space for the money that it brings in. nintendo is still suggesting £230, & €250
oops sorry about that, didnt mean to comment :(
where was this confirmed at?
price drop less than a year after release?
didnt nintendo just get done with a speech at a stockholders meeting saying that their goals for launches are to hold launch price for their platforms for at least two and a half years so people dont wait to buy?
other countries spend tax dollars on health care we spend it on blowing shit up and hiring judges for the lawsuits that come from blowing shit up
theyre suit says they suspect sony didnt protect their data well enough, their basis is that sony lost 77 million sets of data.
they have an unproven basis so theyre gonna need to prove that the data was actually taken, which i doubt is gonna happen
almost half a year on the market and its still under 3 million units sold, to put that into perspective, nintendo expected 4 million units sold within the first month on the market
zelda didnt have much of an impact on hardware sales, they only rose by about 15k units worldwide and it only sold a little over 100k units itself in its first week.
cthulhu... so life like ... :)
how do you promote pirating? you make people who pay for the game deal with advertisements
yea lol, first comment is spot on.
could see this coming from a mile away, nintendo has been leveraging mario and hardware capability for years to create demand for subgenres that they dont have much competition in.
multiplayer has lots of competition and competition has never been nintendos strong suit. theyre probably bolstering their online functionality to appease 3rd parties more than 1st parties
console ports keep pc gaming alive. console sales are the majority of sales for pretty much all games, without the revenue that developers get from console sales they would never be able to use all the resources that a pc can provide
sure, without console ports, there would still be games being developed for pcs, but most of those are made by a few people and dont use even half of the available resources that some pcs can provide.
