I can see concerns with sales of Wii HD for the first few years, tbh. Unlike last generation, this tablet controller alone is believed to cost about $150 bucks. This could put the system cost min $300- $400, which starts to rule out alot of casual gamers budget.
Idk maybe Wii HD can attract some hardcore gamers in the gap until 720/ps4 comes out, but I just dont see myself playing any fps game with that controller. Zelda yes; online shooters, not convinced yet.
And you can disprove that how?
The article did state the next stage in phishing scams is to get you to think you can buy ms points/games for dirt cheap by entering in your acount info. Mentions nothing of a system hack, so Im more inclined to believe thats the case here.
I suppose you believed $ony when they said p$3 would be backward compatible and you could have full access to programming the system thru Linux. Oh, wait they removed all those features. Zing!!!
"Money beckons them louder than anything else."
I would hope so, it is a business (100% of them have this in common oddly enough). In other related news, money beckons me louder than anything else, to show up for work tomorrow.
After reading your wiki link, I learned that Sidar you were wrong on both counts here (based on the reference you provided). It is neither old nor cheap.
"The preliminary launch was on April 17, 2008"
"A commercial Microsoft Surface unit is $12,500 (unit only)"
Did I miss aomething here?
Its pretty ironic all the things that get labeled as "copied" and the fine line between re-innovation. After all, didnt Ninty "copy" other game systems on the market back in the 80's such as Atari? Would you say Ninty "copied" Sony by changing from cartriges to disc formats?
Whats really needed is servers mergers. So many servers are getting barren now it sure would help to do end game raiding. Curse you Star Wars!
So then your original comment was completely useless if you dont even own one. Thanks for wasting time asking this!
Ive never heard an article say the engineers said it wasnt ready. Link?
More likely they had a faulty supplier, because you realize sony and ms dont really make these things. There are parts from dozens of suppliers.
But other than the correction there, I agree more quality control should have been done to detect this. Goes back to rushing the product, can be bad.
Wait Im confused. You the first one to comment here. So are you commenting on your own comment?
Its going to be on the only console you dont own. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
"Sony won't allow M$ a years lead like last time"
$ony my not have a choice if they arent ready to release thier new tech. Rushing your product to market when it isnt ready, can be a very bad thing.
My not ever see a hypothetical holographic tv is our lifetimes. Even in the Star Wars films, the holograms were grainy, mono-colored, and only displayed 1 person.
"My bet is Sony is going to let Microsoft reveal first, because they do not want to show their cards unless they have to"
Wait, why would MS want to show thier cards first? So Im not following that logic.
To me, Id drive any and every Volkswagon over a Ferrari because I wouldnt be able to afford the gas or insurance. O snap did i ruin your lame conparison?
"Very few games now offer split-screen play"
There are actually are fair number of games with split screen: Killzone 3, MoW 3, Uncharted, every Halo made, all the Gears of Wars, etc.
Not sure why he'd leave this feature out.
An apple console? Um why would I want to play Angry Birds in HD on my tv, which isnt a touch screen tv? Plus at some point, Apple will want total control of my tv device. Which means they wont allow me to use my own tv to watch cable unless I subscripe to thier Apple Cable tv (speculative, but realistic prediction).
True, but you can rent games from Redbox or that other online rental, Gamefly. I personally wouldnt ever rent a AAA game like this one because the odds are overwhelming youll love this game if your into this genre or have played past versions of twisted metal.
Actually that gears of war dev reminds just of him. Says things off the cuff, brutually honest, quirky, evil genius type.
Japanese devs sure have some wierd fanatasies.
