Microsoft showed off just how much depth Kinect has, Sony introduced PlayStation Vita, and Nintendo revealed Wii U. While each of the three companies all had something unique to show and will help their perspective brands in the coming months and years, neither one of them had that sold showing that really made one stand out over the other."
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
Hanzla from eXputer inquires: "If Xbox can care about preserving its games and legacy, what exactly is wrong with Nintendo, trying to kill game preservation single-handedly?"
Ahh yes the good old game preservation of saving all your games to a removable hhd on the Xbox 360, taking it round your mates house, setting up multiple tvs to
Be met with “save data corrupted, please re download”
Or how about removing 360 games
From the store
, download them now or else, and, better hope to god that save data doesn’t corrupt, or it’s lost for ever
Nice one ☝️
This is just a scammy PR move to distract from the fact they are going digital only and trying to push streaming and subscriptions only.
No gaming company has pushed harder to remove ownership than Microsoft.
Without discs there is no preservation, preservation can't be done by the rights holders it can only be done by the consumers, anything else is a lie.
Nobody wants this. Sales or the lack of it in the case of XBOX is very telling. I wonder how the adorably all digital series X will fare. Adorably dismal perhaps?
Only time will tell, but for from someone like me suspecting that Xbox is trying to gracefully exit the console market, that "forward compatibility" team is trying to get Xbox games playing on Windows PCs. I mean, it's nice that they're not planning on exiting with a "enjoy your games while the hardware still works" message, so that's nice. They still have a brand to protect via Microsoft so probably feel obligated to have a better exit strategy.
Danish from eXputer: "Nintendo has historically gone against player-made content and emulation of its games. This has done much to harm the company's image."
They need to stop announcing these mods and fan remakes until they're finished. Finish it, upload it, and then if Nintendo dmca's it tough shit. Once it's online, people can share it around, even if the original download gets taken down.
This is all coming from the mouth of short-sighted fandom and grifting madness.
No.... it wont. There is a clear defined reason why they don't. This is nothing new. Make your own shi7 from your own original ideas especially if you are trying to capitalize of it it. Duh.
Yeah, hire people that have zero respect or understanding for an established process. Wow. Yep. Totally makes sense.
E3 was really boring to me
Couldn't agree more SUCKED hard.
microsoft was uber bad and laughable
sony showed most before E3, PSV i like and OLED screen i love, party system but no ps3 party system...uh WTF
nintendo showed games from last year, the whole zedla was a joke no game, and they join the HD gen with a Sud HD controller????
yeah thats right its sub hd 6.5 inches, port machine, nintendo should have made a tablet
FAIL THEM ALL
Jeez you guys are winers. When you look in the audience you'll notice it's not gamers who are there, but rather business men in suits and ties. This is a multi billion business for them, and to expect them to focus on games and what not is ludicrous. They could care less about that. That's what the press conferences are there for, for the business men.
The show floor is for people like us, getting the chance to play the demos and games.
This e3 wasn't the best, I'll admit, but it wasn't THAT bad. 2012 is looking to be a sharp gaming year, nuff said.
They need to change this site to "N4C"... News for Crybabies... because that is what most of you are... Whaaaaah I didn't get this... I didn't see that...
All three companies showed off some great stuff, yet most of you complain about anything... Try going back to the 80's when I grew up on gaming... Did we whine about E3?.. No, because was no E3... and news about games came from magazines...
Most of you snot-nosed kids are just spoiled babies and you should be lucky to even have 3 game consoles and a boatload of cool games at your disposal... Grow up and stop crying...
If the WiiU isnt coming for a year and a half, I think MS and Sony got a big break (especially MS). Unless the Wii becomes a $99 console (which it may), I dont see skyrocketing sales of a Nintendo console on the horizon for some time. This also allows MS and/or Sony to announce a console sucsessor at next years E3 and still have it ready by the holiday season 12'.
In the short term, the only real battle is going to be the handheld wars.
