They say $10 million because they expect more. This way at the end of the year when the numbers are out they can boast "We did *much* better than our expectations!", which sounds a lot better than "We met our expectation", even if the second set of expectations was higher than the first.
Phew, that was a mouthful.
By the way, I became one of those $10+ million just over a week ago. ;)
Thank god! I was hoping for more RPGs in the PS3 lineup. I can't wait!
So...even though I own a PS3...I should spend at least $300 on a separate Blu-ray player just so I can use a universal remote?
No thanks!
It was a light-hearted joke.
I wasn't a tribute just as much as it wasn't a real shot at Nintendo or Mario.
People trying to make this much more than it is...
The one comment in the review that I don't understand is their complaint that it's only a three-hour game, which is "short for $10". If games on most systems are $60, which is six times the amount of money...so six times the length would be an 18 hour game. No one would complain about an 18 hour game for full price.
Anyway, that's nitpicking! Not sure if I'll buy this or not, I'm still pretty engrossed in GTA4 at the moment.
...I was all excited to snipe walls and rocks. This really might take all the fun out of that.
Well I bought a PS3 with a copy of GTA4 alongside it.
Take that Microsoft!
[I keed, I keed...but it's true]
It looks really good.
Not as good as R&C, but that doesn't matter.
With these cartoony platforming games, it's style over graphics.
Mario Galaxy wasn't even in high def and everyone still loved the graphics.
The art style of these pictures looks nifty, and hopefully Rare can get back to their true form. With the (half) exception of the remake of Conker on the Xbox, I haven't been super-impressed with a Rare game since the N64 days...
...
It looks really good!
I'm glad I bought a PS3 last week.
Anyone selling a 30"+ HDTV for under $600?
And to P4KY B above: should the crumbled buildings have been rainbow colored?
I am PISSED.
I just bought a PS3 yesterday.
The only game I purchased was GTA4.
Now the game is stuck on the loading screen and I can't play anything.
So far my first trip into Sonyland is leaving much to desire.
Edit: Well now it loaded once I signed out of PSN. But I wanted to try the multiplayer... Ah well, maybe next time. :(
Haha, Ocarina of Time as the fifth best Zelda game...what a joke.
And yet...all versions will probably be awful.
Also, green and brown...yuck.
I'm going to spoil one line of this awful, whiny rant for the rest of you to see. This way no one will waste their time skimming this trash. Here's one of his idea's to make the game better:
"Let WoW players buy levels for gold."
So...moronic...I don't even have to explain why.
That being said, WoW *does* suck. Just not for any of this guy's 10 lame reasons.
Here are a few:
1. Cookie-cutter mold game.
2. Extremely ...
1. It's your own fault for keeping your expired credit card on your system.
2. Wow, nice gamerscore, you must have a big ****.
2008 still has great things in store for Wii owners:
-MarioKart and WiiFit will be instant million-sellers in the US
-Okami and Baroque coming out this quarter for the more hardcore owners
-WiiWare will introduce dozens of brand new games with little cost
-Virtual Console still has a huge supply of great games to unveil from the past
-Nintendo is keeping at least one major release for the holidays a secret
"Q: Will the Wii version of Rock Band include the Rock Band Store, and downloadable tracks?
A: No.
Q: Will the Wii "bonus songs" be Wii-exclusive, or five songs included on the disc from the Rock Band DLC store?
A: No.
Q: Will the Wii version have missing or crippled features similar to the PS2 experience?
A: Yes."
Fixed. I'm not buying it.
I don't believe this is about the Wii's internet capabilities. The Wii can connect to the internet and download files...that's really all they need.
I would guess that the larger problem is lack of a hard drive. I have no defense for Nintendo on that one.
...no?
Wiiware is all original games.
If you want a gamecube title you can buy it in a store or off ebay and put the disc into the Wii.

Take it to the Open Zone, idiots.
N4G is so full of morons these days.
I'm so glad that I barely post here anymore.
If you're not already arguing about which game is exclusive on the 360 or PS3 you take a break to dis the Wii.
How long will it take before you juvenile fools realize that good games are good games. It doesn't matter what system they're on and a new Mario game is no different than a new Halo game or a new FF game. As long as people ...
Oops, you're right! What was I thinking?
