Yeah, right!
You think M$ and Sony will pass on those savings to the consumer?
Games cost 3 times as much on LIVE as they do in shops these days.
For me, the Wii U is too little too late. They are making a current gen console when Sony and Microsoft are making next gen ones.
The Wii had a handful of good games, all of which were first party, all of which would have worked just as good on the gamecube.
The poor old gen graphics hurt my eyes on my HDTV and the lack of an online service compounded my general unease with the system.
I feel that Nintendo are making all the same mistak...
I don't like the idea of not being able to trade my games in.
When this happens, I'll go from buying 20 games a year to 3.
I would at least like the option to turn achievements off with the 720. Or haide gamerscore.
I know many love Achievements and think they add value, but to me they kinda force me to play a game I don't want to play.
Its either: Play how we tell you, or have a low gamerscore.
2013
Shenmue 2
KOTOR
Max Payne
Stranger's Wrath
Rockstar Pass = 0/10
Why? Because it is contecnt cut for the retail disc.
Microsoft made have done well this gen, but at what cost?
RROD
Kinect
I brought my 360 in 2005 because I assumed it would be like the original xbox. A hard core machine. That lasted for about 4 years.
Now I'm stuck with a Wii HD.
Its just a multiformat machine. Where are the hard core exclusives?
All of M$' time and money is going on Kinect and chasing the casual audience. They got ...
I don't mind if they do a 4 BUT...
They should leave it a few years first. Make a diffent IP, then come back to it in a few years and make it fresh again on a next gen system.
Future proof my ass!
No Shenmue 3 I see.
After Sony kick their hass for a few months in NA watch them cut...
No more over priced under powered consoles?
Wow, Microsoft are making a TON of money while Sony and Nintendo just left it sitting there on the table...
I'm so ready for the 720!
Why are they waiting? The can keep selling 360's wgile they sell the 720. Chumops can buy almost 7 year ood hardware while we buy the new box for the hardcore games.
If this guy worked as hard as he talks, he'd have created 3 new AAA IP's by now. Instead he's made 4 samey Fable games.
These new Mobile chips just make me even more eager to see what next gen consoles can bring to the table.
If my xbox had blu-ray and I could play Heavy Rain and Uncharted on my 360, I wouldn't need my PS3 anymore. If my PS3 had LIVE and XBLA and a 360 pad I wouldn't need my PS3 anymore.
Therefore I need both.
I prefer matte.
I have the glossy 360 S and the dust drives me crazy. I much prefer the matte black finish of the PS3.
The Matte black finish on the 120GB 360's was more of an aweful gray though... yuck!
I feel like boycotting the 360!
M$ should spend all that money they waste on some EXCLUSIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!
