uh you can do "uncanny" analogies like these limitlessly and compare any current system to any past one and it means nothing

Nintendo 64 ports had to be crippled or downright avoided because of the lilipucian storage space and the high cost of producing cartridges massively, many planned N64 projects never saw the light of day

most third party ports are going to develop tools and engines to craft their games for both next-gen platforms conveniently, and Sony's studios and original efforts simply stomp on Microsoft's, as will the Japanese gaming industry's offerings

nearly all these games are guaranteed to come and it's just begun, beyond what happens as far as game industry drama goes this is a system that is guaranteed to have an extremely diversified and solid line-up that plentifully justifies the initial investment, living up to its brandname legacy

you know I'm a triple system owner and don't care at all about Sony-- but this mass short-sightedness that I read on these boards warrants such answers that sometimes may look like partisan arguments but aren't

Exactly. PS3 compared to PS2 is looking more and more like N64 compared to SNES(waits for amnintendo to come in and tell me I am a nintendo hater again).
I said don't bitch about Gamecube sales, it was doomed for another reason.

uh, wtf is up with holding back from paying just a little more for a system because of petty principles and grudges

"YEAH BABY I JUST SAVED A HUNDRED DOLLARS BECAUSE I WAITED A YEAR FOR THE PRICE DROP AND KEPT MY INTERNET PRIDE INTACT! WHAT A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE! YIPPIE!"

if you're a big gamer you were gonna waste your bucks on a shit overhyped game or two anyway

This post is so stupid...

No it's not.  And I'll say the same thing I did in the stupid Wii thread:

The Playstation 3 has only been out for four months.  FOUR.  FUCKING.  MONTHS.

Jesus fuck, give it a chance.

The system already has a decent line-up, more features, and far better backwards-compatibility than the Xbox 360 had at this time last year.

lol Europe

I always got the feeling that Europe and Australia were way off the radar of anyone who develops NTSC games.

the Wii's amazingly poor infrared motion sensing won't ever "improve", though

and what's scheduled for it to be released is just disheartening, the system is basically viewed as a trash can

By this time last year 360 had Graw and Oblivion. I don't think PS3 has any games that big hit it except VF5. I think that with a comparison of game quality, 360 still beats out ps3 if we're using the 4-5 months out debate.

More features? What are they?

by who? If it was I doubt it would be such a massive hit. Hell they must be doing something right. I dunno what since I have been bored to tears waiting for paper mario and haven't touched it in months.

If Wii Play sales are massive in the next NPD even after all the horrible reviews and hate it got then the thing is going to be damn unstopable with casual gamers even at the sheer confusion from gamers here and elsewhere.

it's selling because it's under an artificial shortage due to Nintendo's problems with bundling Wii Sports with every system, thus creating unexpected hype, rarity and demand for the system, but normal distribution is resuming this April

and because it's a media darling which are fascinated by its "Ipod" compactness and sleekness

it didn't sell because it was a platform that hosted many great games by any means

come on dude, look at some upcoming Wii release list, and you'll find one generic licensed game and PS2/PSP port after another, that's UNBELIEVABLE

if Super Paper Mario and Fire Emblem weren't to be released on it mine would probably not even be turned on all year long

STFU asswipe, Im sick of fucking Sfags claiming that Wii shortages are planned and engineered by Nintendo. Maybe theres a shortage of Wiis because a lot of people are buying them? While there arent many games worth playing on the Wii right now its still great fun multiplayer, and who cares if casual gamers love the Wii? Fucking elitist prick. More people are playing games which is a good thing

How is there a Wii shortage when it sells MORE than 360, PS3, DS, PSP..etc?

Did you guys see PS3's feb sales just releases? Everything but GCN and Xbox(NOT 360) out sold it. Jesus Christ.

I still can't believe wii will be  #1 in USA as well. I really thought 360 would. The fact Wii Play sold nearly 400k when the reviews were HORRIBLE and most hardcore gamers either ignored it or bashed it shows just how this system is ruled by the casuals.

Who knows if Wii will be number one. Don't count your chickens before they hatch. Remeber: Halo and GTAIV on the same system will be a huge factor and probably make 360 more popular than Wii, if not even. Also, I think that Wii hype will begin to die down in the influx of VIRTUALLY NO GAMES AT ALL coming out for it.

I think that many wii owners will begin to see the thing as a gimmick, and that it's the same as traditional games. It's just different, and when I say different, I mean having to learn how to control games for 2 hours different, and replace normal controls with stupid gimmicks like drawing hearts to do super tricks different. Not a good different.

I dunno lots thought ds would be seen as a gimmick. Do not forget DS had a HORRRRIBLE first year. Mario 64 was the only real launch game and the only games till like August of 2005 were shit like Pokemon Dash and Yoshi Touch & Go. It had gimmick written all over it till the fall of 2005 hit.

Are you saying this in response to Wii having no games or PS3 having no games? Or maybe both, I guess.
