No offense, but I think you're way wrong about Nintendo, nova. PS3 is the one who has been having trouble. From what I heard, most of the PS3's games so far have done real badly, the graphics aren't great, and get this...some of them seem to catch on fire if played for a certain time. :blink: Wii on the other hand has been doing rather well. Agreeing with Keni's statement, I could not find one Wii, but plenty of PS3's. Besides, Nintendo has done rather well with its games. (Most of the Mario games still go strong) I don't know where you got the idea that Nintendo would be going down the tube. Let's not forget if it wasn't for Nintendo, the states probably would have never seen video games, ever. (They said the VG trend was dying down until Super Mario Brothers was realeased for the Nintendo in America) Forgive me if I sounded a bit harsh, I am a Nintendo fan, and I just find it hard to believe Nintendo is done for, considering the games that are on the way like Super Smash Brothers Brawl...that will bring in a big herd of gamers. I'm not saying PS3 is doomed, but it isn't doing too hot. Plus, I heard Squre-Enix wanted to try bring some of their games to the Wii because they liked it so much, so maybe a future Final Fantasy title or Kingdom Hearts title will be for it.
Okay, okay, so Nintendo didn't have online play nor did it have the best graphics, but it was a lot more fun than most games. Games aren't just judged by graphics you know.
Again, if sound a bit harsh I apologize, but you've just experenced the wrath of an angry Nintendo fan. XD
First none taken.
To me nintendo wii looks like smell like and sounds like a media hype success to me. Look at the silly conrolers they put out before. Like that pad thing you ran on and danced on. Those things sold like mad millions sold. In the end you seen them at yardsales or in the trash months later. This time they have taken the concept of it to a new level. The entire system is based on the idea of getting a work out playing a game. Personally when i sit down to play a game i want to basically relax and enjoy the game. When i want to get a work out i go out for a nice 20 to 40 mile bike ride.
If wii is still going strong in a year to 18 months time then ill say ok i was wrong. But in till that time period is up ill stick to my guns on this. Ive watched to many nintendo product get media hype sales they are fun for a while then poof gone. Right now its something new and diffrent nintendo tossed it on to the market with little notice got peoples intrest up etc.
Now they need to keep makign it more intresting and they have time and time again had a hard time doing that.
Personally i stopped with consol gamign after trhe ps2 and went to online gaming. The finale fantasy games turned to trash after ff7. And they had no really epic rpgs after it ither. Wild arms was awesome breath of fire again great dozens apon dozens of others with great stories. Then ps2 hits and its sports sports and more sport toss in some racing here and there some lame fighting game or 3 toss in a few play the role of a murderer games and call it a day.
Regardless of how much we would like these are the twilight years of gameing only consols. Looks at microsofts latest offering the 360 does it also have the ability to browse the web? As does ps3 ?
How much longer pure gaming consols have is any ones guess realy. It will be a shame when consols are a thing of the past. Simply put mhz for mhz mg of ram for meg of ram consols will always out perform computers game for game. Simply put the consol has no os over head beyond loadign the cd wich has a os of sorts on it as well.
The only games i play on computer are online and when i still bothered i had like 200 across 3 consols. 90% rpg 8% action adventure last 1% was a fighting game or 2.
