nintendo again kicking ass
wii is the only nintendo console i like :)
go wii!
Playstation Family is doing the same ok
Nintendo dominating,
Microsoft's xbox barely clinging on,
priceless.....lol
It's always good to note sony's decadency. They have made nothing for games ever. Just cloning, coping...
I fear a world without creatives console makers. We already lost SEGA, we can't lose Nintendo. But sony's failure, and Sony Entertainment closure would make the world prettier.
The Consumer has once again shown sony that they think the PS3 is an overpowered PS2 with pad games by purchasing more last Gen Consoles then Next.
That would be like the GameCube outselling the Wii.
Suck on that PS3!!!
not even nes or snes?!!!! they were classics.Quote:

nintendo usually comes in dead last
maybe if they stoped trying to prolong mario by having about 20 games just involving sports alone and get better 3rd party support maybe they would do better...
Sony should start making successful franchises.. oh wait, I forgot the only thing Sony can do is put the money.Quote:

NOW YOU'RE PLAYING WITH POWER
Come on, ish420ism, sony is all about marketing. NOTHING you see in any playstation was created by sony. Except for placing the console stand, and not lying. But this had absolutelly no increase in gaming experience.
Buttons in the sholder, humbling, optical discs, 3d gaming, pistols, dancing carpets, steering wheels, everything was copied. OK, sometimes enhanced, but everything copied. "Win a counsel race" doesn't prove anything. In the business stand point, they really were winner, but at the price of we being the losers.
we being the losers ?Quote:

it was already done before with the early light guns with duck hunter, then the guncon from namco
only innovative thing ive really seen is the eye toy, it was a flop though due to not enough backing and game support, however using your body as a controller was innovative
what are you gonna say next
they blu-ray and cell processor was also copied too :rolleyes:
Joe88, I didn't even mencioned the motion control, witch is the last fotocopied "innovation" of sony.
Eyetoy was not the first camera too, but Dreameye, only launched in Japan. Blu-ray is just another optical-disc, first used in videogames in PC-engine. And what is Cell? A processor with graphic built in? That's creative!
I'm talking about everything. ALL this "so many great games and exclusives that no one else had" colud have been launched for any other mainstream in the marked, except if it was developed by sony itself. Then you see no one couldn't have been launched for Xbox, Gamecube or even Dreamcast.
In the other hand, sony's hype about ps2 made most of people think it was really the best machine in the market, when it was no better in power than Dreamcast. With 70% of market share, some of the great games lanched in the three major systems were all limited by ps2's power, limiting what could have been done in Gamecube and Xbox, much more powerful engines. That's the kind of thing we lost.
the dreameye is only a webcam
there where no games for it
just a webcam and nothing more
the cell is a 8-core CPU, the most computers can have on a single chip is only 4, its never been done before, and give each element of the game a core to use to create a new gaming experience like never before
also with optimization, you can make any PS2 game look like an xbox even though the hardware is away above it spec wise
a perfect example would be burnout revenge
you couldnt even tell the difference between the xbox and PS2 ver gfx wise, they looked exactely the same
another one is RE4 and the GCN then PS2, its hard to tell the difference in the gfx
and even games like gran turismo look like xbox games gfx wise
and whats the talk with dreamcast ?
its dead, move on already
Last official game released was in March 8th 2007. It's not dead, n00bQuote:

A drop in sales but Nintendo still doing well.
also if you pick up the latest issue of game pro (I would upload mag scans but my scanner doesnt work atm due to no vista drivers ...) they went into this whole discussion about the capabilities of the systems , PS2 and xbox and learn the true story
