One, i didnt say games like asteroids were kiddy

Two, yes, now that i think about it, Nintendo games r made for EVERYONE and i take back what i said

Three, the reason i said that Nintendo made "kiddy" games were because games like Paper Mario or Star Fox Adventures looks like a game that would usually whoo younger audiences more than adults in my opinion.

Four, the fact that i stated Nintendo made kiddy games was my opinion. it doesnt make me right nor wrong, just what i think
*

1) I know you didnt, I was making an analogy.

2) Good.

3) Star Fox adventures is hardly for a younger audience. Granted, theyre not for 30 year olds necessarily, but that hardly makes them "kiddy".

4) If I think the world is flat, Im wrong. It may be my opinion, but Im wrong. This, you are wrong about. I could say GTA is kiddy, but Id be wrong.

I think the nitendo looks like crap. But they do sell a lot in Japan and China so I could see why it needs to be on the "space saving" side of the market. I like the XBOX 360 look.

I think the exact opposite is true. The revolution looks really nice and it will fit really well with my other equipment. Meanwhle, the 360 is white and looks like a pc, which won't look good next to my other equipment.

Well the other companies are in other kind of business. They have more to loose than Nintendo does. If they do not meet expectations, there stocks could go to hell. Plus it would put a bad vibe on say Sony’s and Microsoft’s other products. Nintendo is only into the gaming industry, that’s there specialty. For Sony and Microsoft its a new field. Sony has been in it for a while, and as for Microsoft – its uncharted seas.

Those pictures won't be it. If they are, I'm not using that controller, I'm just going to buy a wavebird instead.

Franchises that are normally Playstation exclusive are going to the Revolution and 360.

Rejoice, all gamers.

you know, the revolution's controler is going to kill me.

at least in games. since i very much enjoy, when racing, in addition to turning the joystick, to turn the whole controler...

and then when doing other games i'll twist it about wherever just out of habit.

heh, i used to do that when I was younger. When I got the N64, I wasn't used to 3d, so I would twist and turn the controller. It was funny, cause in mario kart, I'd lean left and right too. but I grew out of it.

why would it kill you (unless it does have the gyroscope)?


In other news...

http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/08/02/news_6129862.html

QUOTE
Buried in an analyst's memo, written shortly after last week's Electronic Arts earnings call, was a hidden gem. According to the widely read team at Wedbush Morgan Securities, Sony may delay the release of the PlayStation 3 until 2007--if exactly the right conditions prevail.

Currently, the console is slated to appear in Japan before the end of that company's fiscal year--March 31, 2006--and in North America before the end of 2006.

Given the right set of circumstances, however, that release window (at least in North America) could intentionally lag until after the 2006 holiday buying season.

In a research memo sent to investors, Wedbush senior analyst Michael Pachter set up the following scene for a delayed PS3 launch. It starts with the current-generation Xbox being priced down to $99 post-Xbox 360 launch, but no lower. Concurrent with that situation--an Xbox 360 at an unspecified price and the Xbox at $99--Sony would drop the price of the PlayStation 2 to $99.

There are two components to that pricing strategy: the first is that a $99 PS2 would offer a significant distraction as the 360 launches. As Pachter states: "We believe that the company will attempt to disrupt the Xbox 360 launch with a price cut, and as a result may succeed in diverting attention away from the higher-priced next-generation console."

In addition to the "diversion rationale" is the supporting fact that "the redesigned PS2 carries a manufacturing cost of less than $99," according to Pachter. New consoles are noteworthy for the fact that at the beginning of their manufacturing cycle, the units are sold at a loss. Given that the PS2, according to Pachter, would cost less to make than to sell, it behooves Sony to extend demand for that product for as long as possible. And if Microsoft takes the Xbox price no lower than $99 (still a loss for Microsoft, according to Pachter), Sony will find itself in a win-win situation.

Another cornerstone in Pachter's theory is Sony not wanting to disappoint consumers and retailers by having too few units in the channel over the high-demand weeks of this coming December. Pachter says, "we believe that Sony suffered the ignominy of being unable to satisfy holiday ['04] demand in order to increase its gross profits over the short term."

If the PS3 launches in late '06 and suffers the same fate, Sony would be embarrassed for a second straight year. Without any PS3's in the channel, there's no chance of a shortage of stock. A backward theory perhaps, but a theory based in fact nonetheless.

The key point in Pachter's argument weighs heavily on what sort of showing the 360 has at launch. If the 360 tallies significant sales early, Sony would need to fire on all cylinders and get the PS3 into the channel ASAP. However: "Should Microsoft fail to garner sufficient software support to gain an insurmountable lead, we think that there is a possibility that the PS3 launch will slip into early 2007."

Following the distribution of the memo last week, GameSpot spoke with Pachter who emphasized that he "posited the thought as option value for Sony." Continuing, he said, "I think the 360 will do quite well."

But if the 360 does an about-face at launch and tanks, the above Plan B could be an option the cash-strapped Sony might just consider.


I bet Sony is doing this so they can copy the Revolution's controller. In this case, I'm rooting for a good Xbox 360 launch. Then again, a $99 PS2 price means a lower used PS2 price. I guess I'll pick one up for Soul Calibur 3 and the Gundam games if it's cheap.

i'm assuming that there will be gyros that will be used to control... like driving games and such, you turn the whole controler...

so i'll be trying to chop off some guy's head and then i tilt the controler and fall off the edge.

Nintendo Revolution I'm a big Nintendo fan, I just really don't like PS && Xbox, except they have hotter games. Xbox360 would definitely be my next choice though, but if I can't afford them then I'm going to eBay NES....*drools* happy.gif
