I was not trying to say something as ridiculous as Kia beating Toyota or anything like that. I was simply saying that it isn't an unheard of event for a newcomer to come out strong and dominate the industry. My logic was only to that: If executed properly, with the right conditions, a newcomer can overcome its competition. However, I do appreciate someone being able to disagree in a civil manner. Bubbles to you, sir.
I'm not trying to crap on your story, because it is written by a journalist. However, this type of article is getting a ridiculous amount of exposure. For every one of these opinion pieces, there are more talking about how they are experiencing sour grapes. My comment is not so much about the quality of your article, but the subject is getting tiresome.
I'll be nice and comment as well. I don't hate the Wii, I bought one last Christmas, I just feel that the direction Nintendo is goin is not one that will make gmaers happy. I made the joke about WiiMath, because, I find it funny and, like last year, when they bring Miyamoto or whoever for the big reveal, it will not be what most people are hoping for. Last E3 was a disappointment, with Reggie talking about how great the Wii is and then Miyamoto comes out and brings WiiFit. That was a letdown....
i never said I believed MS's claims about a shortage. I don't have a 360. I do however have an interest in news about any of the platforms as what affects one also affects the others. My point was not to disagree with what you said, just the manner in which you said it. This site would be much better if people would just calm down.
How many of these articles are going to get approved? It's really starting to get sad. It's also funny that the same number of people that were all over HD-DVD are now saying DD is the future. Even the Studios have said that it is not even close to being a viable mainstream solution. And please stop bringing up CDs and MP3s, you're only embarassing yourself. DD for movies and DD for music are two different things. Music: people got tired of buying CDs with one or two good songs; also, even wi...
You're in the wrong zone dude.
Even talking about the software only, the only reason the 360's software was "better" is that there was no next gen competition. Compare this to the PS3, which is a pain in the ass to code for compared to the 360, suffered from a lack of knowledge of the hardware on the part of the developers combined with developers getting a better grasp of the 360 hardware. I'm not saying the 360 launch year lineup was bad, it's just people have blinders sometimes because there was nothing to com...
That's funny, because MS says there are three sides to the coin. Hardware + Software + community.
Nice try, but common knowledge is not as common as you think. Second, that the 360 had a better year than the PS3 is debatable. There are many different factors that make the determination who did better last year subject primarily to opinion rather than fact. There are the issues of competition (or lack thereof), price, software sales, hardware sales (worldwide), hardware sales (per region), Hardware reliability, attach rates, HD movie format war, the "Wii effect", the "Halo e...
That was funny. "They do extensive market research. They know full well consumers would be pissed and less likely to buy their next console." Obvoiusly you haven't notice their "Upgrade or Die!" business model with their software side of business, which they continued with the XBox. They offer token support while pushing their new OS harder than Winnie the Pooh into a hunnytree.
Also, their is no reason Ms shouldn't have expected to beat Sony this generation...
It's going to be the biggest non-game of the year: WiiMath
EDIT: @ Danja, I'd be happy with a real game. None of this endless ocean, brain age, wiifit BS. A real game. I haven't played with my wii in so long. Only my wife plays with it any more. And yes I realize how funny that sounds.
This is going to be one hell of a flame war in the comments here.
Yeah that doesn't sound remotely fanboyish. If you're so unhappy with it, sell it.
MGS4 and Home are supposed to be out by the time E3 happens. I'd be willing to bet on GOW3 for Christmas or early January. Or it could be something that no one has seen yet.
Please keep your ramblings to yourself. Even 360 fans have got to be embarassed by your ridiculous rants. Name one JRPG that is actually good and not a FF knockoff. You can't. There is a reason that almost every single JRPG mimics Final Fantasy. WRPGs are about equal with more exclusives in the 360's favor. But aside from Fable and Mass Effect, almost every other WRPG is multiplatform, or also on PC. And you don't have to update you computer every year to play games, if that were the case, pe...
I don't know if anyone has said it yet, But it's funny when developers say stupid things. Not that BioWare is stupid, they seem to have forgotten just who the f*** they dealing with. EA will force them to port Mass Effect 2 to everything from the DS the 360 and PS3 and everything in between. That's what EA does.
Yeah, how do you keep from being embarassed saying that a year and a half old game is the pinnacle of your console of choice's ability? I would not be saying that too often, if it were me. And most people agree that Bioshock and COD4 look better.
Edit: Also, Uncharted looked better. Disagree away fanboys.
Yes you would notice if a game was running at 60 fps and dipped to 40 fps. It would still be a smooth video, but you would be able to notice a slow down. To say otherwise is like saying you could watch a car traveling at 60 mph and have it slow to 40 mph and not be able to notice.
Nice try libby.
These articles are starting to get annoying. Not because they're saying that the PS3 is coming in to its own, because I agree with that, but because everybody and their brother last year was shouting about how the PS3 was doomed, Doomed fu<king DOOMED! and now they are all acting like they knew this was inevitable. Well, not so much this guy, but in general, the writers all jumped from the PS3 not making it to 2008 and now they can't stop saying how the PS3 will dominate this year.
