Most of the Wii's out there are owned by 360 and PS3 owners? Really? Wow. You are telling me that over 50% of Wii owners also own a 360 and/or a PS3? With Nintendo currently around 11 million in console sales worldwide, Microsoft at around 11 million as well, and Sony coming in at about 5 million, you are saying that over 5.5 million of those Nintendo consoles are distributed to Sony and Microsoft fanboys? That's difficult to believe on just your word, so I'm going to have to disagree.

The author is clearly biased against Sony and somewhat against Microsoft but the point he makes isn't far from the truth. Gaming consoles do not need to be multimedia systems, yet.
Currently, the majority of consumers are not interested in shelling out hundreds of dollars for such a technological salad. Most consumers, right now, are more interested in purchasing a gaming console which focuses on playing games. Most consumers already have a DVD player, HD-DVD/Blu-Ray player, co...
What the hell is with the title? It's a good thing to fix problems, isn't it? Whoever wrote that title needs to be slapped.
Nice reply, made me laugh out loud and scare my co-workers...
I agree with you 100% and would also like to add that I think Take 2 is trying to re-order and filter-through their company because of their previous/on-going legal problems.
Just a question on your name... Is that "Beavis for play" or "Beavis foreplay"?
I'm in awe at your ignorance and emotionally unstable ranting...
The pomposity bleeding out of your bigoted words only conveys your blatant disregard for an intelligent thought. Your severe and overwhelmingly emotional outburst has truly made you look intensely narrow-minded and utterly irrational.
Nevertheless, I must ask, do you own any Sony products? How about Microsoft? Tell me, how is Nintendo ripping people off more than these two companies. Please explain....
Most grandparents and relatives don't have that option to go outside and run around as it would likely give them a heart attack. Don't forget about all the people (mainly in cities) who don't have a yard to use or "play in". As for going to the gym, too many gamers and couch potatos don't go to the gym. Oh, wow, imagine that! Many gamers and couch potato's don't go to the gym? Who would have thought? What a great way to help keep people a bit more active by releasing a product to he...
I do not believe that WiiFit will be the "end of gaming" as you have questioned. In principle, it brings "gaming" back to the original challenge. Sports are the original "games" of culture. "Sports" has much to do with fitness and Nintendo is finally merging the original concept of games with the concept of video games, which historically is centered more on, dare I say, "mental fitness" then physical fitness (mental fitness as in reaction tim...
Trying to convince people who know the Conan story and art style that this video game is imitating the God of War "style" is a dead end. This video game is a tribute to the work of Robert E. Howard and Frank Frezetta. Frank's artistic style for Conan has always included such contexts as violence, sex, and primal desires.
THQ is in it for the money and that's all. Of course they will try to capitalize on the current mainstream art style but this is no excuse for labeli...
It's always good to hear a bit of culture come out of someone's words, especially on a site which harbors myriad immaturities. So I appreciate your words, yocdub.
Frank Frezetta and the Conan franchise are remarkable and unique works of art. If any one copied anything, it would be Jaffe ripping off Conan. The Conan story has been around since 1932 and was created by Robert E. Howard. Frank Frezetta was one of Robert's artists and was very popular. Frank's work definately helped...
Even compression of 15 gigs onto a dual layer DVD or onto 2 DVD's requires that the data compresses by about 1/3 (that's 33%)! That is an insane amount of compression.
An exploration genre of video games is slowly making a legitimate appearance. I'll get this game just to relax and explore.
This game will definately be a hit with tokers and trippers but also gamers who love the adventure genre of games. I'll gladly sit back for a few hours with red-eye and enjoy this game. Maybe the underwater nature of this game will counter the effects of cotton mouth, not.
Gamers are gamers, period. Some take the past time to be a hobby and some take it to be like a religion. Either way, you're still a gamer. The term "hardcore" gamer is vague, rediculous, and implies nothing more than the gamer is a zealot, stubborn, and ignorant to industry progress and advancement.
In my opinion, labeling someone as a "hardcore" gamer has a negative connotation. It tells me that the gamer is pompus, brash, and lacks an open mind. So I say t...
You are correct, sandip787. The interpretation of Voodoo and the African culture by the caucasian community was extremely negative and biased in racial stereotypes. Unfortunately, some in our society continue to fear what they don't understand and thus the deceit and misinterpretations continue as well...
I agree that there is a difference but I also would like to add a few words.
Racial ignorance or people who are racially ignorant is not an excuse for making racist statements. We are all responsible for our own actions, thoughts, and words. In any racial slur, whether it has a malicious intent or not, there exists the potential to harm or offend another. It's our own personal duty as human beings to minimize that potential or negate it completely before opening our mouths or c...
I wonder if Resident Evil 5 is going to offend anyone from the African American community? I'm caucasian and watching the trailer for RE 5 made me feel a bit uneasy. Depicting a white guy in a Darfur type town shooting African zombies has the potential to upset a few people even though the whole idea of zombies came from Africa itself. Well, I'll just wait and see.
The context of drug use and violence in Haze does not present a positive or constructive outlook to the gamer. Miyamoto would rather present a positive and fun environment to the gamer than a negative one. So it's no surprise that Miyamoto didn't care for it. But relax he's not Jack Thompson.
I think it's amuzing how many of the above comments from some are aggressively defensive in response to Miyamoto's opinion. For instance, Shaner_Bock asks, "Seriously, why does he car...
I don't think Miyamoto has a problem with ingesting natural substances. It's the unnatural substances that he has a problem with, such as steroids, cocaine, crack, etc. And then to go off on a killing spree while on these drugs, that's not something he wants to teach people. I don't blame him.
Nothing. But the price and functionality are not desires of the current consumer majority.
