Am I the only one who thinks the controller looks cool?! That's sad.

Well, I can't wait till it comes out. My brother is for sure going to want it... ....and then his PS2 becomes mine. Yippee

I agree with you that the controller looks cool because of its futuristic appearence, but thats not my main concern. My concern with the control is whether or not its suitable and easy to use while playing games.

As far as the outside looks of the console, Nintendo's Revolution owns them all, but that will not factor into my decision of getting a PS3 although the price is $465(Better start saving up now). Playstation makes the more mature and better games hands down. Although Nintendo Claims this time around they will aim towards a variety of consumers, Im still in disbelief they will follow through on their words.

I just saw that Final Fantasy VII Remake Tech Demo. Why would squaresoft do something like that to me. Just making it a Tech Demo but not making it into a game.

Even though each one of these consoles have amped up the graphics, I still have to say the most important aspect to the playability of a game is the gameplay. I can still enjoy Final Fantasy VI on my SNES Emulator.

Last thing: I think this could be it for Nintendo no matter how legendary the system is. If this really does happen I will be really sad because console makers are slowly getting weaved out as we go, Just like SEGA and ATARI. Just my oppinion.

I think when Kry sees this he's going to do the same thing I would.

Nintendo is nowhere NEAR destruction. One system cant take them out.

Think about it this way, if Final Fantasy The Spirits Within couldnt take down Square, ONE system wont take down a legacy of good ones from Nintendo. I mean common, even the Virtual Boy didnt hurt that much.


The positive thing about the controller, if you get angry at a game, you can throw it and it will come back.

I think the system itself AND the controller are both ugly. And lets make it clear folks, this design is in no way OFFICIAL. It even says on the pics that the design could change at any time without notice. Hell, remember the initial pics of the PSP and DS? Totally different now.
