I think Sony should clarify on whether PS VR will be forwards compatible with Playstation 5 or not.

Well, Nintendo's net assets are in the ballpark of 1,2 trillion yens which is about 10 billion US dollars. Sony's assets are about 132 billion US dollars, so there's much more leeway.

IIRC, Sony lost about 5 billion dollars due to selling PS3 at a lower than manufacturing price but then made money back by selling software.

I thought he gets coverage because he would be a competent analyst in other matters but turns out he's an absolute embarassment. There's a site that ranks analysts where Pachter is rated as 0.2 stars out of 5 stars. If you follow Pachter's advice, you'll lose money:

When it comes to video games, he's even more of a disaster. Pachter ...

Most people would clearly want NX to be really powerful console but the problem is that unlike MS and Sony, Nintendo can't afford to sell their consoles at loss as that would drive the company into bankruptcy. (MS and Sony recouperate their losses with strong software sales, but Nintendo lacks the financial leeway to do so)

That means that either the NX will be moderately powered and moderately priced or really powerful ("next gen") and really expensive.

Tomy Racing Turbo. Although it had a display, it was an analog game so I don't know if it counts though.

The first digital game might have been Game & Watch Zelda:

It's from the dialogue at the beginning of the game.

Will: "Explosion make time go bad. If time is an egg, then that egg is fucking broken. The time egg is fucked!"

There was a Forbes article back in 2014 that said that the financially sensible thing to do for Microsoft would be to get out of gaming: http://www.forbes.com/sites...

All of the big three (Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft) are barely making a profit in the console business. Each of them have had periods of months or even years of making losses...

Logic 101: If someone asks you to stop spreading a rumor, it means that the rumor must be true.

I'd imagine that the lack of creative freedom such as being forced to make a "family friendly" game (Fable Heroes) and an on-rails Kinect game (Fable: The Journey), leads to some of the talent leaving the studio. And once the talent leaves, things start going into a vicious cycle.

That's from an unfinished build of the game. In the final version of the game (the retail version) the graphics of that portion were upgraded:

In the year 3000 there will be more Pokemons than actual real animals.

3615d ago 0 agree0 disagreeView comment

Well, that's not 100% correct. You get all the starter Pokemons (Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Charmander) in Yellow during one playthrough just like in the TV series but it lacks Pokemons just as Red and Blue.

But I think having Pikachu as the first Pokemon following you around, the Rocket Team as adversaries, somewhat improved graphics (notably better colors when played on GBC) among other things count as good improvements.

I've only played Yellow but as far as I know, it's the "definitive" version of the first generation.

I was hoping for a quiz but it was just a slideshow with the names on it. I'm pretty sure I could remember 100+

Martin Deschambault drew the concept art. He's not working for Naughty Dog.

Jonathan Cooper is an animator.

The concept art in question was drawn by Martin Deschambault. Deschambault has never worked for Naughty Dog.

"As far as I know the guy responsible for that artwork switched from Ubisoft to Naughty Dog."

No he didn't. None of the concept artists for Black Flag work for Naughty Dog.

EDIT: the concept art was drawn by Martin Deschambault.
