how can you say that

nintendo has made some of the best games ever

N64 - Zelda oot
Gameboy - pokemon
GC - metriod prime
Snes - super mario world

the list goes on and on.

and you cant say people who buy the ps3 are gamers because there not who ever buys a ps3 has too much money (lucky S.O.B's) or needs a life with real people.

Woah, he is right.

Games buy PS3 or a Xbox

People who play games buy Wii.

i also found the remark that the sixaxis failed very funny, yes it is a gimmick, but it still exists, and will remain a part of the control scheme in many games [uncharted, and ratchet for example]

i take comfort in the fact that the gimmick controller i bought gets much more use than the gimmick console.

[im really hating the Wii right now, motly because i feel nintendo conned me into buying it, so far all they have proved is that gamecube games with less buttons and motion control sell really well, unfortunately i like to have fun and experience new games that last longer than ten minutes]

I love how people can't take it. I just love it. They get really angry (see above: "hate") and start kicking and screaming and saying such ludicrous things as "Nintendo's market isn't gamers" :rofl:

And to be honest, I just can't get enough. I'm looking forward to Nintendo continuing to thrash PS3 every month and these people getting really wound up about it.

Look guys.... I have been in the gaming industry for over 16 years. I have a Wii.. and the 360 and 2 of every system in the past. I love my Wii, but the system is not targeted to the "hard core" gamer.. its just that simple. Their marketing strategy.. Guys with girlfriends who want them to play.. and young kids.. in general the "casual" gamer. Nintendo even admitted that. Sure they will come out with some mature titles, but that has never been their game. It's the cute system. And that works for them. Some of us older farts want a little more UMPFF in our games and that is where Sony and Microsoft has found its hold. We are the PC crowd that wanted to play something that we are used to on our TV's. There is nothing wrong with that. Why cant We just love our games and systems? I know we tend to play favorites because the cost of the next gen systems are a "bit" (Understatement) on the high side and may make them financially impossible to own every one. But don't be a hater because you cant afford every system. Capitalism is fun 'eh kiddiies??? Lets just love our games and be happy for your friends out there that have different systems. Stop the hate and lets play some games!!! (even if they aren't HARD CORE!!!!)

blind trUly!

my opinions are not based on market share or total sales, i have a Wii and a PS3 and for me, the Wii provides nothing, the only game i actually want is resi4 which is a gamecube title. NIntendo continues to prove that reselling old software and hardware in new clothes is a great way to make loads of money...so what? i want to play great games, its that simple.

as to ps3 owners being rich and lonely, not true. i saved up for both consoles working one day a week in between my uni course, by managing my resources i can save enough for what ever i want, if someone has the means they have the right to do what they please.

maybe if there wasnt so much concentration on which company is better, then maybe we would get better products rather than consant pr crap

Being a PC gamer, I'd have to say that the only thing that annoys me about the next-gen consoles is people being *****s about it. No names mentioned, though.

look, I bet if you lock a person in a room with nothing but a wii and a game for an hour, and then unlock the door after an hour has gone by, they wouldn't come out of the room.

And most people seem to hate PC gaming these days. PC gaming truly gives you the most amount of control for any console. See: Keyboard.
