Jesus christ guys, you take everything so personally?

The fact is all these journalists own Apple shares, and it is in their own interests to destroy Sony and Nintendo.

And btw, backwards compatibility is an important feature. Sony SHOULD be offering a discount on downloads for prior purchasers of the software.

Is nobody else playing this great little example of Nintendo awesome on N4G?

Its bloody great, i highly recommend it.

Edit - Here's one I created. Not too difficult but plenty of platform jumping involved.

Glasses free 3D tvs will release next year, and Nintendo will be vindicated with their decision.

Of course if people really don't want 3D TV's all the time in their homes, perhaps this really is the 2nd death of modern 3D Films and Television yet again.

Personally i don't believe for a second that 3D is dead yet, and neither should Nintendo with 1.3 million 3DS Consoles sold this week.

The Wii has sold 91 million currently.

And @RoMee, please explain why a console for women has sold 600k copies of Super Street Fighter 4?

3DS had alot of pre-orders too, and many didn't pick them up.

Its a remarkably positive article considering that Sony's losses on TV's have absolutely zero chance of being recovered on a currently unprofitable new hand held(according to Sony they're taking losses on Vita).

Is Naughty Dog owned by Sony?

Perhaps Wii U will get a port next year.

Its a bit of a pity that its so similar to recent zombie films/games, and it would've been great to see something truly original from ND, but it looks great.

It should almost certainly be better written than Walking Dead.

Nintendo were NEVER charging casuals $250, they were charging core gamers $250.
SSF4, Pilotwings, Dead or Alive, etc.

The point is that Nintendo are now apparently making a loss on the 3DS, so now your argument that they were overcharging seems kind of superfluous.

He was a supervisor for a few years, and id imagine he had barely any time for himself to make new games (ala Pikmin), so this isn't exactly surprising.

But that fucking headline is, CHANGE IT IMMEDIATELY.

Yea, so i suppose we can all forget about the 7 months MS spent doing nothing while waiting for the release of GOW3.
Every console company leaves droughts, and its happening more frequently now simply because everyone wants to catch the Christmas Rush period.

Honestly, Nintendo are the only company fully capable of singlehandedly supporting their consoles, not that they should have to.

Thanks, but it was in the byline already.

Would be nice to see others post NPD numbers, VGChartz, Media Create, GFK, etc in the comments fields too, but it never happens.

Definition of madness = selling an unprofitable console for years, and then making another unprofitable console at a time when mobile phones are killing that market

The 3DS was a smart pricing decision (well now it is), and i firmly believe that you will see both MS and Sony copying Nintendo's strategy soon too, they simply cannot afford not to.

But please continue, you'll be buying a machine with barely any market share, and barely any games for it....

I don't see the problem of 1080p capability with old technology, thats still profitable for the company making it.

The fact is you can't have it one way (cheaper launch price and cheaper 1 or 2 years after release), yet complain about cheap components. And regardless, Nintendo have basically never completely screwed up with internal components, and they've never had a 50% failure rate. Calm down.

Its STILL better than anything else now, and its ST...

Cliffy B also says 8 out of 10 Reviewers for GOW3 are haters.

He also says his 3 favorite horror films include Paranormal Activity.

You can't trust third parties, its that simple.

They announced it a year or so early because they wanted third parties to put a full year into development.

Judging by Launch Date and length of time from launch, its beat the PS2.

Judging by all time, of course the PS2 has been on the market for an extra 4 years or so.
