It was very interesting.
If you want to see who won, read the end....or is it really the end...?
Bill Gates was great! If I wasn't so confused about if he was really that clueless, and I thought he was really trying to be funny (he said some fairly insightful things every now and then, though), I would have given him bubbles!
Now, quite a bit of the negative press the PS3 gets, Sony deserves. The PS3 might not deserve it all, but Sony does. However, one article comes to mind I saw about the PS3, that it's on track to sell less than the Gamecube at this point!
Now, did the PS3 deserve that? Sure, sales to this point is a simple fact. However, why didn't the 360 deserve that as well? It did, evidently, because sales are almost identical when launches are alligned, and the 360 didn't have to deal ...
Did you really think before you speak?
You're saying that with everything but NA, the PS3 can't keep up with the 360. That's NOT good when the sales thus far are about the same when the launches are alligned!
Heck, saying they're selling at the same rate is bad for the PS3, because, let's face it, except for Halo 3, the 360 hasn't been selling that many consoles, as is evident by its end-of-life-cycle-like attach rate.
Interestingly enough, you pr...
It may be a setup for a sequal on the Wii. Let Nintendo loyalists, who may not have had a PS2, get in on it, and then blow us away with a sequal.
I'm not disappointed with no new content so long as they can work with the controls from the ground up and build it around the Wii, because so many ports have had bad controls, when they would have been ok otherwise.
It would still be nice to see some new stuff, though...
Could you even call what the 360 did a victory?
Because it doesn't sell in Japan, and without knowing what's going on in Europe (but I know the Wii is doing well there, too, even though the 360 isn't doing as poorly there as in Japan), I think Nintendo still won last month with the Wii.
I fully expect the 360 to have a good October as well, and November and December will look good, but so will the PS3 and Wii, just because it's the holiday shopping season.
...
I don't think that's actually what they want.
The scary thing, to me, is that this seems like the prelude to an annoucement that they will be joining the fight next gen with a console of their own.
Sadly, if that happens, it will do well because so many people just have to have their yearly updates of sports games, and throw in a Sims, and you have a real contender.
Let's only hope that they want to be lazy and ruin their franchises more than they ...
It's ok in some games. Billboards on the side of the road, ads in a baseball park, or some comercial on a TV as I walk by are ok, and actually help the game seem more real, but some (not all, again, we're talking making these games more real, and it does take some time, and, therefore money, to put it in the game in a way it looks right) of that money should be passed on to us in savings.
Heck, it could actually make gaves very cheap. Imagine if Burger King wants to make sure...
The Wii has needed some top notch people working on its games.
This, Monster hunter 3, and a few others seem to be indicating a change in how games going to the Wii are handled, giving them to the best people, not some people who are just learning.
Of course, this leads to increased expectations of what a game should be, too.
While my personal taste in games leads me away from Halo, it's good to see that not everyone on here with a 360 (at least I assume you have it since you're enjoying Halo 3) or PS3 thinks graphics are everything.
I've seen Halo 3, and, while I don't think the graphics stand up to some other games, and ignoring that some of the colors didn't seem to fit the situation (lots of bright happy colors), the game itself looked great, anyway.
Looking as realistic as possib...
Link should easily win this. Cloud was in a single game, and, as good as it was, FF7 was no where near as good as most games in the Zelda series.
Heck, if you judge on strength, Link can snipe pretty well with that bow, probably injuring Cloud before he could get to him. Also, we know Link has the triforce, and he finishes his quests alone, more or less, while Cloud had to have a group.
"sony said that the ps3 is future proof, not that the parts inside are."
Maybe that's what MS meant when they said the failure rate of the 360 was normal, too, that the 360 had a normal failure rate, but the pats inside didn't.
No one is reading the article, though it seems. 65 nm is obsolete according to the article, and I believe it's true.
If I am correct, a smaller chip means less heat (and an even lower failure rate, probably, thoug...
Neither Sony nor Toshiba would have made the deal if they wouldn't benefit.
Sony didn't want to have to pay money to convert the factory to make the new chips, so it was in their best interest to sell it. Toshiba evidently needed the factory, and it was worth millions of dollars to get it.
No deal is agreed upon if either side doesn't benefit. Sony and Toshiba both made out like bandits, I'm sure.
Maybe everyone else should read: "What everybody seemed to miss about this news was that these “advanced” Cell processors were in fact the obsolete chip."
It's as bad as the MS fanbys denying the RRoD was a problem. I don't care WHY it's obsolete, the simple fact that it is says something, just as the exact failure rate of the 360 didn't matter, the simple fact was that is was unacceptable.
Sony said the PS3 is future proof. Sony sold PS3's with a 65...
Wouldn't Wii 2.0 be Gamecube 4.0?
Heck, that would mean in 3 gans, Nintendo will cover what Sony will in 4, when, next gen, they have Playstation 4.0.
Anyway, to be hoonest, I won't be playing RE5, because just as the Wii can't handle it, neither can my thumbs handle playing many types of games a last gen way.
EA is a developer and publisher, not just a publisher.
It is a developer, too.
Nintendo only needed to survive Halo. It seems they have, and now have a clear path to own the holidays.
MS fired a cannon, but, now, Nintendo is going to fire a rocket named Mario.
It will be interesting to see how Mario, which is much bigger than Halo, will affect sales all over the world when compared to what Halo has done in America.
360 is $30 more than the Wii.
When we're talking over $250, $30 isn't much of a difference.
He also forgot to add how well the Wii would be doing if it was HD, though, right?
I can't help but to think Sega is overestimating Mario and Sonic. Million seller? Maybe on the cusp if marketed right.
Mario Galaxy, though, is it a million seller? It could easily sell 10 million!
Maybe next year, Sega.
Not only is the triforce the power of the gods, but, evidently, courage is the strongest part. Link wins against Zelda and Gannondorf, the other two that have the triforce parts.
In TP, we also learn that swinging a blade means nothing if there is not courage behind it.
Finally, Link can't die! In all of the Zelda series, there have been at least three different Links (Ocarina of Time and all before may or may not be the same Link, Wind Waker was a new Link, an...
