Ohhhhh yeah. I remember that. The PS3 almost had no units available at launch. Weird that the Wii had plenty and then went through a massive drought the next six months.

It better not be canceled. This is the game I've looked forward to for the past 8 years! But I admit things aren't looking good. Somebody needs to get somebody's sh*t together so I can play Ico with a giant dragon dog.

I think Sony is in the strongest position going into the next generation, as the leader of the hardcore. I don't know if the Wii U is the leader of the casuals anymore. I don't know what they are. The leader of Nintendo franchises I guess. I still think Xbox is in good shape. The 50 million (!) people who pay for Xbox Live seem to be pretty invested in it. They'll probably stick with it if they don't realize it's free on other consoles or if they can't convince their f...

It's beautiful. Gamers can't agree on what console is the best, but at least we all agree that Kotaku sucks.

I believe Star Fox 64 was $70 when I bought it at launch. Which is what, $100 in today's dollars? Good times...

Right? Where did he hear the Wii U uses DVD 9? I never even heard that as a rumor. It was always 25gb blu-ray based discs. Strange mistake...

Edit: Also, reading more into the article, the disc drive does not generate that much heat. It's the gpu, cpu, and ram you have to worry about.

Edit 2: About the article itself, I don't know exactly why consoles don't use cartridges now that their storage space has caught up with discs. I'm assuming it&...

C'mon The Last Guardian, just come out! I'd prefer to buy it on PS3 tbh.

Weird discrepancy... Maybe Kaz was including money spent on R&D and the other guy was just talking about price to manufacture?

I actually think that was his point. Those "consoles" you mentioned are really just computers that you hook up to your TV. The Ouya and Steam Box won't have a proprietary operating system like the Big 3 do. Valve said you can even install Windows on their's. As it becomes more common to hook PCs up to TVs I could see consoles becoming more niche. I'm not happy about that, btw, but it makes sense.

Due to the massive amount of people who disagreed with me I humbly beseech you to read this whole comment before inevitably clicking disagree again.

I'd like to assume no one saw Rocky and couldn't understand my brilliant analogy :), but I think what happened was that people didn't like that I used the word "beating". I guess that term was a little strong but I had this whole boxing metaphor going on. Let me clarify "beating". The PS2 sold (che...

It was bound to happen, but the Xbox shouldn't have even gotten close. It shouldn't have even been a competitor.

It's like in Rocky I, if the PlayStation is Apollo Creed, they were undefeatable. They had a perfect record and destroyed all their competitors in every match. And now here comes this upstart, Xbox. Yeah, in the last round PlayStation inevitably won the fight, but they sure took a beating.

Wow, Forbes wrote this? That's awesome. Kotaku needs to be called out for that bullsh*t.

I never understood the negativity on N4G towards Kotaku until that headline. I get it now.

"ps3 over taking xbox really wasn't a surprise it was only matter of time"

I totally agree. But why did it take them so long? And why did the 360 need over taking at all? The PS2 was the best selling console ever and, unlike the Wii, those PS2 sales were from the hardcore not casuals. Now Sony has sold half as many systems which means half their customers switched to Xbox. Half! That's a big loss and Sony can only blame themselves. They were unprepared for t...

Looking at all these agrees, it looks like us gamers actually aren't that fond of real guns. Maybe the next time someone wants to blame video games for a shooting they should talk to us.

That's quite the conspiracy theory :)

I hate that BS. "The Internet: Man's greatest invention, able to share all human knowledge with anyone throughout the world. Now let's lock that shit down."
