If anything PC gamers should be happy, because games that are programmed well for the console will likely be programmed well for the PC. Similar architecture across the PC, PS4, and Xbox Fusion regardless of their relative strengths will hopefully be sign for a properous next generation.
I presume the author is trying to work off the title of the DK Nintendo Land game by using the standard meaning of 'crash course.' The article talks of Satoru Iwata trying to inform the investors of the current gaming environment. So, in essence -- 'a short and intense training course in something.'
Those are dangerous words. Before you know it they will devote all their resources to remastering all the entries in FFXIII (even FFvXIII just so they can delay the release for another couple years).
Don't you mean checkmate theists?

PC games are the only games that I can really rely on anymore. After seeing several generations of consoles I am beginning to realize that games are inevitably tied to the hardware they were released on.
Though I love many of the games that Nintendo and Sony put out, I wish they were PC for the simple reason that I can still play games I bought over 15 years ago on the PC.
I love the PC not for the graphics (although I do like them)...
I thought the same thing when I heard the split screen swap. I hope companies make use of that idea. Playing Halo 2 was always nightmare on the original Xbox, because everyone had their own preferred position relative to the TV. For some reason we never could get the order of sign in right. There was always much arguing in the pre-game. Good times...
Looking at the articles you posted it seems Sony is actually relying more on their gaming assets. The Bloomberg article mentions this in the article.
"Chief Executive Officer Kazuo Hirai is cutting 10,000 jobs and selling assets as he focuses on mobile devices, games and digital imaging to turn around Sony..."
It helps when you have gaming blood (Kazuo Hirai) at the top. Now if we are talking about Sony in general I really don't know the forec...
All of these are such good games. My money is in my hand already.
I really hate that trademark symbol. It's always ruins the the aesthetics of logos. It also, doesn't help that I am mathematically inclined and view the logo as xbox raised to the infinity power raised to the TM power. =P
Hopefully it well garner interest in translating games to movies the correct way -- by working with the original creators closely.
To be fair the Amazonian in Dragon's Crown overemphasizes everything but the breasts. I actually have hard time just glancing at the image.
ahhhh!!!! ---> many* not my, but many
Don't click update after leaving the keyboard unattended for over an hour without reading the comment carefully.
Rest in peace Gunpei Yokoi. You gave us the Game Boy and Metroid along with my other classics. =(
I just don't understand why you have to make the system "always online". Unless the application or game you use has to be online to function then there is no reason to demand an internet connection.
It's understandable that cell phones need a connection to call over a cell network, but it doesn't make any sense to deny the owner access to his or her phone when they happen to lose connection.
If Microsoft pull always online I hope they m...
Wow. The value of this game really shot up fast. The obstructive collector in me glares more and more at my desire to play still plastic sealed gem sitting on my shelf.
If anything it's not so much that he can click fast, but rather that he has nothing really to do in that time, so he clicks neurotically as he waits for the game to progress a little.
I remember watching a lot of videos for the original Starcraft that showcased some amazing micromanagement. It's was really impressive to see how some of the pros had the timings of the animations down so well that they knew the exact moment to cancel an action. Likewise, precision mou...
Really....Gameboy Micro?
That was just a small Gameboy Advance that was released just before the Nintendo DS arrived. If anything I thought that was just released more for novelty rather than a major handheld upgrade. Regardless, I am mad I didn't buy one at the time. Still looking for one.
Definitely. Even if they were able to condense all the information into the E3 conference, that would most likely dilute the impact. Ironically, dispersing the information over a several events helps build the hype as it makes the system sound like it is constantly improving when in reality they probably had all this set up back in February.
This approach of spreading the announcements helps Sony highlight many developers who are helping the PS4 happen. We saw a few big na...
/facepalm
they're* - This is why you don't edit a comment so much that your original their/there/they're has morphed into one of its homophones.
This is why I love comments.
