This isn't nintendo's game and two the wii's 3d capabilities were showcased earlier before sony did by that asian dude. Ea even had an easter egg in the original boom blox that allowed for it but took it out at the last minute there is a video fo that on youtube as well.
So technically it would be sony copying nintendo considering the wii showcased its 3d features first. but who cares anyway.
Fragile supposedly sold 45% of its initial shipment. And why does fragile have to push wii fit out. The two aren't substitutes they are complementary. One does not take away from the other. The both serve the same purpose- to entertain.
Some people won't find fragile appealing and some will, it doesn't reflect on the consoles OR ITS USERBASE.
I dislike the main Final fantasy series. I think they are total nonsense. I dislike Final Fantasy 7 and think it is a mediocre...
And that nintendo caters onyl to its casual user base please point to how many causla games nintendo has made besides wii play and wii fit. Wii fit is enjoyed even by hardcore gamers because it still plays like a game. The simplified casual complaint against Heavy Rain, the ps3's hyped title for this year.
It requires no gaming skill to play accordding to the designers. It is entirely relient on QTEs. Wii fit can't be beaten unless you complete the challenge so it is more of a ga...
who do not agree with your view of video games.
2.Games are not a singular business they aren't. Newspapers, televeision and movies are all called media.Games fall into that except they are well interactive media.The interaction separates games from movies, tv and the like.
3.The ps3 and xbox360 aren't in anyway perfect consoles for the hardcore gamer.Xbox-hardware failure, ps3 expensive-if they care so much about hardcore gamers wouldn't they have made a system that...
So onto arguing with you. First off third parties sell more software on the platform than either the 360 or ps3 the only difference being it is spread out over many titles. And okami sold I believe more than 200K and that too it was port got zero ads and sold on a smalleer base. Please tell me based on akami how the ps2 could be hardcore console when it did selll more but on 5 times on the install base.
BIgger companies can risk on the HD consoles NOT small companies.It costs mil...
Nintendo is doing what they are sellin games and hardware with a distinct lack of quality software from third parties.Nintendo is fighting gainst an industry that wants to defy change for the better.
I'll come to kojima in abit but think about this.Gaming is an INCREDIBLY niche media form. Hardcore gaming that is. If the wii wasn't selling 2 million units in a month and didn't attract the masses this way you wouldn't be looking forward to much in the coming years. Nintendo is kee...
also i am not sure if capcom is that reliant on it selling on the wii or the arcades. We would have to know how much they shipped to be able to deicde if it is actually bad that it sold that much alone.
last I checked books are being printed on the same paper and aink as they have been for a few centuries hey but that's me maybe i'm misinformed.
And movies how come some of the best movies of all time are not the latest ones.The new star wars trilogy is an excellent example. Boasted better tech, better visulas, better action and stunts.....but it lacked a soul.The old trilogy had that depsite its definitely older visulas it still surpasses the latest trilogy.
Very fe...
Sony and microsoft don't have that kind of demand.Nintendo has satated they manufacture 2.4 millions wiis a month.The shortages considering their demand is real.Nintendo can't just open a new factory and manufacture more wii's.It costs them a lot of money if that is unnecassary. SOny and microsft haven't had to manufacture as many consoles ever.The ps2 in it sbest moth sold 1.3 million units.Nintendo also has to manufacture ds's which they sold 1.57 million units of.
Look at the ...
but yeah your edited comment isn't too nice.For one the wii being a lower spec machine won't need quite as much space to hold the entire game.Twilight princess with its realistic art style could fit onto a 1.5 gb disc and the game was 60-70 hours long whcih is good length.Thw wii has 8.5 gb i believe on its optical disc which easily allows for a lot of content much more than a game developed for the 360 could.so its nto a fair comaparison.
And in what world is it true that if you...
the biggest complaint about the wii is its graphical capabilities now in this case it is its greatest strength.The release date of 2013-1014 would be realistic if they were developing the game for hd consoles not the wii.It does not take that long to make a game for the wii.The hardware isn't that powerful that you need to spend a lot of mony or time develpoing extremely detailed assets for the game as you would have to on either the ps3 or 360.
And in reply to another comment i ...
1-There is one market the game console market.
I am going to use the same terms you use casual and hardcore to distinguish the markets as u like to see them.
2-The casual consumer does not care about HD capabilities, online capabilities, hardcore games(i'll come back to this one) or the power of the hardware to render skin or real-life physics.
3-The casual consumer only cares about the experience what do they feel when they play a game , they want FUN n...
which offers them simple intuitive controls will advance up the rungs of the gaming world to jump onto consoles with a totally differnt gamepad that is stuck in last gen tech?
There is a concept of overshooting the market. The wii isn't ina niche market as some well dumb people like to say it is in the expanded market. The wii is doing to gaming what sony did to transistors when they first started.Sony and microsoft are in aniche market called the hardcore gmaing market they can'...
you and your supposed "hardcore" friends need to realize that there is only one market, the game console market. There isn't casuals and hardcore.
To do with your analogy if a ferrari or bmw sells less than a civic because of their price and luxury features , it makes them a BETTER car? IT makes the masses (many of whom are employed at jobs that take real skill and determination and face the real challenges of the world unlike videogame challenges) dumb or insignificant...
Pc-n64-ps2+pc-wii+ps3(soon)
I have nothing against the HD consoles except that their business models will not succeed.If they lose money they aren't going to be happy. Since you like to talk business here are a few things.
-The idea that sony will win because of brand name- Sony kept themselves diassociated from the original playstation, they did not want the sony brand associated with the console.
-Sony is here to provide console gamers their fix becaus...
i want to say a lot more and do have more to say but I am holding it in and it hurts a little. LIke price cuts actually being a little detrimental to the value of the consols in the public eye. Microsft and sony will have to abandon everything they have believed in so far if they want to win and even then the chances are fairly slim.
It is never superior tech that wins it s is superior business model that wins. Nintendo followed sony's and microsft's current business model from t...
First off nintendo didn't have a loss on gamecube hardware they launched at the lowest price point last gen too if i remeber. the gamecube was as powerful as the xbox excpet programming was harder and was reoughly twice as powerful as the ps2.So ps2 was holding gaming back just like the wii being the weakest system on the market and winning nonetheless.
Nintendo was the only company operating at a profit last gen sony lost millions despite being market leader and microsft lost ao...
you said it was about time the wii hit the 99 price point.They mean different things.My mistake and the comment above me if it was directed at me I am no fanboy.
Also if people can't find anything interesting in this lineup I do pity you. I have owned and played plenty of games across pcs and consoles and this lineup is topnotch there are more certain games on this list than on the ps3 lineup and being a future multi-console owner i have more wii games to buy on my list than ps3 ...
but why in the world would nintendo have a price drop? Its sales aren't slowing. Its had a slow Q4 not a bad year according to certain groups of people. If the console sells 800,000 units in one month in northamerica or still outsell ps3 and 360 and even psp occasionally with no brand new software in japan, it clearly doesn't need a price drop. Its called value by the way.
Sony and Microsoft's machines aren't valued at the prices given by the mass market and that is the reason fo...
you're bashing them and calling them lazy based on a rumor? Something with no solid evidence. It could be true but it also may not. Why is it a cash in anyway didn't people rejoice when they got a remake of Ninja gaiden on the ps3 with updated visuals and a little extra content. Wouldn't a number of people rejoice if final fantasy 7 remake was announced. does that mean square won't make final fantasy 13 ? No it does not. Assuming this is true it could merely be a filler title so that Zelda fa...
