The Gaming Trinity: Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo

Patrick Hicks writes..."there is so much discussion regarding which console is superior that we often forget that while each gaming system has its pros and cons, all are important to the survival of the gaming industry."

That's not my concern. I like Nintendo but I lost respect for them with the Wii stuff. Nintendo is dead to me until they go back to a traditional gaming controller, the fad is over and I'm glad The Wii U is struggling. They might as well just go out of business if that's what they're gonna be about.

I though it was crap last gen but everyone else was buying it, and as a true gamer I hated it and had to live with what it was doing to real gaming, but like all fads, they end. So I'm glad. I think Nintendo is getting what the deserve and I hope Nintendo goes out of business for the crap they pulled.

Actually I would prefer if Nintendo would just go back to traditional gaming and then XBOX went out of business, just leaving Nintendo VS Playstation.

Its funny you consider yourself a "true gamer" yet want people to lose there jobs simply because they make something you don't like. Gamers haven't always been the most embraced group so now that some companies are pulling more people in with "non-traditional controllers" you want them out.

You're not a "true gamer", you're pathetic.

No thanks, I like Mario as much as the next man but I need Gears of War, Halo, Forza, etc in my life

I'd hate to be forced to play so many kids type of games that Nintendo offers

As far as Sony goes, they always start console launches off very slow with very limited content

And they usually over-promise (Killzone 2 trailer was supposed to be real-time/We can create Toy Story graphics on PS3) I wouldn't want to be stuck with them either

SuperBlunt3656d ago

Oh shush you know the ratchet and clank ps3 games hit pixar level graphics and killzone 2 is one of the most impressive looking games ever. I for one genuinely dont see sony as liars whereas microsoft....well you'll see

LarVanian3656d ago

Seeing as how you dislike Sony's slow start to console generations, I take it that you also dislike Microsoft's abysmal and anti-climatic finish to them :).

Revolver_X_3656d ago

Meanwile the X360 rode multiplats the last 3-4 years of its life. Why buy a console if not for the exclusives? Its funny. Outside of the three you named, they have none.

Xdone3656d ago

"And they usually over-promise"

Oh you mean just like M$ over promised about kinect being the core of xbone and then announcing kinectless bundle...

AGaryColemanClone3656d ago (Edited 3656d ago )

Way to make a complete fool of yourself - TWICE.

Microsoft is the one who made the idiotic 'Toy Story' graphics claim:

"One of the basic premises of the Xbox is to put the power in the hands of the artist," Blackley said, which is why Xbox developers "are achieving a level of visual detail you really get in 'Toy Story.'"

Killzone E3 Reveal Trailer vs PS3 Realtime Graphics:

http://www.forumla.de/attac...

The PS3 Killzone 2 realtime graphics matching the 'impossible CGI trailer' has to be single most epic ownage in the history of gaming.

GarrusVakarian3656d ago (Edited 3656d ago )

It's amazing to see how warped your memory of events are. Sony over-promised last gen? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Just look at the exclusive support it got and sustained during the last half of it's cycle.

The ones over-promising were MS, just like they do every gen. They act like they are all for the gamers and all about the games, promising Kinect will be used for hardcore gamers and that they wont be forgotten in favour of families.... and then they drop support later in the cycle. Have you really just forgotten how barren the 360 was in terms of exclusive since 2010?

And lmao, GaryColeman just proved you 100% wrong.

The Wii-U gamepad works fine as a regular controller, wanting any of the big 3 to leave because they don't suit your taste is silly, more competition is always better.

wonderfulmonkeyman3656d ago

A true gamer doesn't go around bashing shit for bad reasons.
It's fine to have dislikes, but when you put it out there in the words that you just have, it just proves you're not a real gamer.

soljah3656d ago

no matter what console you guys like best. there is one thing that is not debatable. out of the 3 sony has had the clearest most forcused message.
from day 1 when mark cerny introduced the ps4 two goals were stated,
ps4 was created by and for developers #for the developers
the ps4 is foremost a games console #for the players
and sony has stuck to this goal. where both ms and nintendo keep sending mixed messages and changing and back peddling on their consoles goals

Wow. Not even a console wars article and people are already trolling.

None of the companies named is inherently crucial to gaming. If one falls, someone else will fill the void.

That said, two of them are more beneficial than the other by far.

wonderfulmonkeyman3656d ago (Edited 3656d ago )

The amount of console war soldier propaganda posts in this topic is absolutely disgusting.

Screw every last one of you fanboy jerk-offs who are using this article as an excuse to bash the consoles you hate and those who play them.
Nothing is more pathetic or immature than messing with people who own consoles you don't like by directly bashing the consoles in order to get a rise out of their fans.

GROW UP!

I'm going back to actually playing games now. Maybe a few hours of it will wash the feeling of disgust over this childish community out of my thoughts.

weekev153656d ago

I made a similar comment on an MS E3 thread. This place is pathetic at times. Very well said.

elhebbo163656d ago

Amen. This is only fuel for the retard flames. I cant fathom how much fanboys just like ripping each others balls off just to protect the name of there device. sad is what it is.

Musashi vs Cthulhu review - Games Asylum

Games Asylum: "There’s a demand on the digital services for inexpensive games; something cheap and cheerful to brighten a dull afternoon that could potentially be bought with leftover credit. With both limited budget and resources in mind, it pays for the developers of these smaller titles (Musashi vs Cthulhu costs just over £4, incidentally) to keep things simple and focused. There’s joy to be had in simplicity if it’s done well, and it’s up to developers to capitalise on this. Nobody expects a colossal, cinematic, RPG for under a fiver. Something simple that’s refined and fun to play? An entirely reasonable expectation to have. Problem is, low budget games can feel…low budget."
