Nintendo fans buy Nintendo consols to play Nintendo games, the new casuals crowd they cater to tend to only play games with Wii in the title : Wii Play ,Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort, Wii fit, etc. or lookalikes with "cute" characters on the box art, Carnival Games, comes to mind.

If you look at the 30 Wii top sellers all are Nintendo or family safe games. And this situation is entirely Nintendo's fault : had they not massively advertised the Wii as a family console, t...

Betamax format has lead the professional audiovisual industry for 20 years have you never heard about Betacam, Betacam SP and Digital Betacam ? So yes it was a commercial success.

one I would nominate as well (like nr 12 or something) would be Demon's Souls trailer it's very athmospheric and at least it's made with ingame footage :

Well they were flipping because when Sony Pictures were taken out of the Netflix for 360, people were fearing the movies from Columbia Pictures (also owned by Sony) would be pulled out as well, which happened but only for some of them.

PS3 has the largest selection because Sony Pictures movies and TV shows are not available on 360... guess why.

They didn't pull the plug on the PS3 the first two years when it was loosing millions and selling miserabily.

They didn't pull the plug either on the PS1 untill 2004, even if the PS2 was already a major success in 2002 with more than 50 million unit sold.

The difference between MS and Sony is that Sony has way more foresight and a business model that helps them make money in the long run.

MS is always in for the quick cash, their moto his "every dol...

Who's up to fork out $12,000 minimum for a gaming table PC ?

It's also exploration and puzzle solving.

It depends, most 'professional' actors think VA just comes down to reading lines making no particular effort to sound genuine (or worst, overdo it). If the person directing them is as enthusiast then the result definitely sounds awful.

In this regard fans could probably do a better job because they'd actually care about the final result and would try their best to make it as true as possible to the original.

I think people are forgetting some relevant points : though 360 will have a better lineup in 2010 MS's gonna have to work really hard to dominate 2010.

Sony is going to get some support from big franchises :

GT5 in february in Japan and later in Europe and the US
God of War III in march
Though Final Fantasy XIII is multiplat and not that good I can see it helping sale some PS3 anyway

Yakuza 4 in Japan plus a plethora of new/old IPs/RPGs/MMOs...

If this is video is not a fake you will notice that at 0:40 he has to try to turn on the device like four times before succeeding apprently he's not able to synchronize both of his hands so that one is moving the camera and the other is motionning to push the button (or maybe it's because Natal has problems deciphering the purpose of the hand movement).

And I personnaly don't think Natal will be appropriate for people prone to motion sickness since it seems like one wrong moveme...

When have VGCharz japanese previews ever been reliable ?

You pruposedly forget a crucial point : THIS IS NOT a GT5 demo even if it is labelled as it. It's GT5 academy a time trial wich is supposed to show you the car handling and it's physics engine not the overall details or graphics of the game (be it the high texture resolution or particles management) moreover when it's only a 200mb download packed with basic textures, basic codes to handle dynamic lightning and a few algorithms like the flags floating in the wind.

Remember how GTH...

was nowhere as widespread as the 360 failureS, the PS2 "failure" was actually only a decalibration of the DVD drive lens caused by an intensive lens shift (typically when you repeatedly skip chapters on a DVD or go back and forth between the main menu and the movie).

The PS2 fix just required you to open the console and tighten a little screw near the lens, and that was it.

I've had my fat PS2 for nine years, once I even left it on pause while playing DQVII...

"There are a lot of misconception:

a) fixing a RROD is not detectable, because you aren't modifying the software"

Well let's see. Say I've got a problem with my Xbox, as anyone would do I call support give them my serial number and every bit of information they need. Unfortunately, they tell me my console is not under warranty anymore and I have to pay 100$ to get it repaired. I say **** off and decide to repair it myself. Then I connect to XBL and guess wh...

So is a case mod unless it's a decal or a faceplate change.... a home fix should only void your waranty not grant you a ban, let-alone when the console is a faulty product from the get go.
