I don't know about a game sales crash but some titles were positioned poorly and it failed to meet expectations. A large selection of games came out in the 4th quarter and people only have so much money to spend. I really wish though collectively we boycotted COD one year so that Activision can stop the stagnation. Don't get me wrong COD is a good franchise but it should rest until it can be fresh again. Plenty of us said the same for AC and Ubisoft finally did just that.

It's amazing how far Sony/naughty dog have come. I remember in the Ps1 days saying Sony mainly just has 3rd party. Naughty Dog has turned into one of the best developers out there. I am happy to see great games get the sales they deserve. I can't wait for their next project

I disagree with what you said partly because if ps4 was the best thing ever why do we have a pro version now
Success is measured by profitability ,how financially sound your business is and market share.

Sony PS4 47+ million sold
Sony Ps Vita 14.7+ million sold
Xbox One 25.5 + million sold
Wii U 13.6+ million sold
3DS 61 + million sold

So looking at this alone market share wise Sony isn't running away w...

From what I gathered Scorpio will be the first of MS releasing a console that is like pc in that it plays most older games (xbox360 bc and all xbox one) and will allow for newer higher spec games. So in that regard it isn't a new gen per say. Basically you can keep your library intact even if a new hardware version releases. Which is also similar to what Apple does with iOS.

Before I state this I believe that Nintendo should of cut the price. I think their reasoning isn't pure stubbornness. I think they are recalling all unsold ones in NOA so that they have systems for Warranty and replacement services. Because the Wii U ended production. So if you need another gamepad/ console in a year or two they have it for you. i do recommend if people want a Wii U cheaper try getting a Refurbished one from Nintendo directly. Comes in New condition and is $200.

Tru dat ! Jk yeah true.. i have all the current consoles myself just not the mid gen upgrade ps4 pro.. ms does need to up their ante and start getting more diverse titles in their lineup. should be an exciting year either way .. can't wait for the Switch. I personally don't feel burnt by the Wii U because I got Thousands of hours logged in on mine. The only console I felt burnt on was Saturn... I picked it over ps1 and eventually sold it and got ps1. But boy it was worth it if you h...

What do you mean? I enjoyed my copy on Gamecube. The game is very much like a Zelda title made by frenchmen lol. Of course it sold better on ps2.

No.. because tomb raider was always on PlayStation and ticked off the fans.. and Bayonetta 2 only got made because of Nintendo stepping in and paying the costs of development .BGE fits with the type of games Nintendo owners buy. Exclusives always tick people off if you don't wanna buy the hardware to play it.. but most ppl always use exclusives in their argument of who has the better console.

True and they don't hype it much here. FF games are very cinematic which is popular here. DQ is straight forward turn based RPG. I actually prefer DQ over the newer FF games. But the older FF were on par with DQ.

Ideally a digital game saves publishers on shipping and manufacturing costs. So the game should be cheaper. But what commonly happens is what you said. But I have seen Digital code (cards) sold at retailers so this shouldn't be an issue.

Used games aren't as big of issue from Gamestop because they sell newer (used) games at just 5-8 bucks cheaper than the New sealed game. Used for me is only appealing when the price is low which is usually on older titles. Id rather get a new copy on sale if at all possible.

I agree this act is horrible and even to talk about it is unthinkable. Problem is this issue seldom gets resolved until its too late and the damage is done. Some of the elite heads of companies are the biggest offenders. The Super Bowl is one of the biggest events that underground sex trafficking occurs. Sad world we live in. People for years try to hide this stuff but the best weapon of this type of thing is exposure.

Yes you can. They sell extension cables for them (6ft). But your right about that not being a good thing. The cord should have been regular length.

Not really any difference between toys and tech. It's been said about cars and many other gadgets. Boys and their toys. But after reading the article there is a difference in the market approach. Even though tech is just toys for adults. But adults think differently than children.

We hope lol. But I don't mind using portable battery chargers. It's how I get through work not being able to have my phone charging on a wall outlet. This takes away that concern.

Apple has been doing this for years. Dual shock 4 as well. Nobody protested them. I don't like it though but maybe there is design reasons why. Nintendo customer service tends to be pretty good. Only had to get my Wii repaired ( owned every Nintendo console).
Looking at images of the Switch it looks rather compact. It looks great to hold (will find out soon). The Wii U game pad was bulky. Most of the time I'd rather use a controller instead.

Yeah no Ethernet port is a non issue as long as USB Ethernet adapters are compatible.

This game is really good. Its not as good as the previous one but it's a solid title. Its crazy how cheap games this year are shortly after release. I got titanfall 2 for $32 . Dead Rising 4 for $30, COD Infinite War Legacy Edition $48...etc
