Amen! I agree 100%
It has more to do with Apple being considered "High-end" bc of their pricing. People buy apple products for the same reasons people buy expensive cars they can't afford, or huge houses that get lost to forclosure: people buying expensive things to maintain an "image" and go with the fad and what's popular at the time.
People this era are more concerned with material things and LOOKING like they have money instead of things with substance and actually HAVING...
Great article! Many valid points.
It is my personal belief that we will see something that builds upon the Vita and WiiU: A Portable Gaming Console that's beefed up to specs consistent with home consoles that u can just plug in to ur tv (think psp hdmi out) to get the large tv gaming AND just unplug it and play on the same "console" on the go.
I know there's some people that would possibly hate that, but I personally would LOVE for that to h...
I hope so, bc im not on the bandwagon of this thinner n lighter philosophy of electronics these days. Don't get get me wrong, the brick cellphones of the 80s/90s were ugly as hell but I don't want some tiny, drop it once and its over gadgets either.
I can't speak for everyone, but myself personally I like bulk. I hated the new psp's bc they felt so cheap and fragile. I prefer my original psp bc it has the weight to it. I hate the new age of smaller electronics. Im a meat n potatoes man n I prefer my electronics to feel tough and sturdy.
Ummmm isn't that what everyone here did bc the guy said something about Vita????
"... The problem with the fanboys on this website is that they are so extremely defensive about everything. Anything that seems like a threat, they have to group up and shoot down"
"I stood up for nintendo when everyone was bashing them"...
Isn't that the very definition of what u so-called hate so much? Lmao
Everyone here has valid points whether u like it or not. Problem is, everytime someone gives their opinion to something that's not the popular opinion they're automatically labeled a "fanboy"
Like he said; WiiU will be outdated within 2yrs after it comes out bc of the new ps4/xbox720... So it doesn't matter.
I love how people wanna argue about the Zelda tech demo, that's all it was as if stated urself.
Besides, do ur research: EVERY multiplatform game shown for the WiiU @ E3 was PS3/Xbox360 gameplay! And that's been CONFIRMED. And also pretty sad... Use ur competitors platform to build excitement for ur own console? What a joke.
I am impatiently waiting on a new Knights Of The Old Republic game myself. The 1st two games were the only reason I owned the 1st xbox.
IDK ... with all the kinect support/shovelware & lack of 1st party hardcore titles (M$ depends largely on multiplat hardcore titles) ... maybe M$ is making a push to takeover Nintendos spot as the casual king?
And they say dedicated portable gaming is dead ... lmao. All the haters should probably start eating their words now ... I didn't know dying business models sell out of stock. Sure doesn't look dead to me!
That's cool n all, but I don't buy racing games, sports, fighting and shooters to compete with a leaderboard. I buy/play them to play with other people. My wife n kids don't/can't play with me bc they don't play video games so I need online MP to play WITH other people.
BUT thx for the heads up buddy. :-)
Wow bro that's alot ... congrats! I don't have the time or the patience to pull that off.
Like I Said, this dude is a fraud. Believe it or not, there's ALOT of trophy hackers out there. This guy for some reason gets the most publicity. It just blows my mind.
MY plats are as follows:
Fallout 3, Fallout NV, Portal 2, Killzone 3, Mass Effect 2, and Demons Souls ...
I will soon be adding Skyrim and maybe in another year: Dark Souls (lol)
And the people who disagree w/ my 1st comment I assume are hackers too?
Well speaking for myself, this game went from a must buy to a not at all. Get with the times! Im not buying a vita to have an offline psp experience ... this was originally named NGP (Next Generation Portable) for a reason and there's nothing next gen about that. No Online = No Purchase for me.
Who makes a racing game and doesn't include online? What a dumb decision.
Come on people ... this dude is a fraud! Go on psn and look at his trophies. Check out dates and times on them: Some of them were received too close together, he also has trophies unlocked that have to be unlocked after certain other ones and he has them before. He's hacked some of them. Do the math, even if he got his ps3 on the very 1st day trophies were enabled and remote played with 4 other people it still would be impossible to get all of the trophies he has. I have no problem giving...
And here comes the usual suspects of the nintendo fanboy club. Check any nintendo article n all of ur names r there ... ur opinions matter not bc fanboys r blinded by brand and butthurt by any opinion that doesn't concur with ur own views and beliefs.
So the wii has a good online community/store that's comparable/competes with psn and xbox live? No, I don't think it does.
But yet, no response about the 3ds poor design?
And all 100 titles i...
Are u serious? Of course it was, there's no competition right now. Wait till Feb.
BUT ... its pretty funny u say that bc 3DS couldn't even outsell an outdated handheld in the PSP in japan and u think it'll do better than Vita??? Especially considering all the soldout preorders already!
Most secure future of any new system? Wow bro ur delusional. Their future is just as secure as its past, u know with that great release line up and awesome pricepoi...
Dude get your facts straight before you post things ... idk about R3 but Killzone 3 has DEFINITELY sold more than a million copies. Look it up before u open up your mouth.
Angry Birds? Really?
This author is a tool ... of course Angry Birds "sold" millions of copies: IT WAS FREE!
If Uncharted or Mario had a $0.00 price tag, they would "sell" Billions.
Im so tired of these dumb, out of touch articles from nitwits who think they know what a gamer is. Just give it up already.
The Vita doubled the original PSP sales, and that came out before the smartphone craze. So on just that fact alo...
