The big thought on everyone's mind has been the what final asking price for Nintendo's plunge into the next-gen market will be. Given the sturdy price of \$400 for a loaded Xbox 360, and the accusedly steep price of \$600 for a decked out PS3, Nintendo is in a prime spot to come in way below the competition with an extremely affordable next-gen console. It was previously announced that the Wii would come in at \$250 or below in the US - a real steal for the highly-praised revolutionary console - totally decimating the other price ranges.
But did Nintendo set the bar too low? Could they get the same amount of sales at a slightly higher price? Well if our information is correct, Nintendo may be counting on it.
The new unit comprises over 500 developers representing the entire World of Warcraft development team.
I used to be anti-union, it kills productivity, investment and turns product mediocre. Their games suck anyways though so what was lost? Might as well get their people paid until they are dissolved.
Unions are necessary regardless of how you feel. You know how fked the working class would be without them. As if we're not already.
No they aren’t, regardless of how you feel. Unions make zero sense for skill based labor. They are for people who press a button every 10 seconds on an assembly line. “working class” is a made up term. I don’t care about corporations or developers, I just want good games lol. Killing your incentives to appease the lowest common denominator doesn’t lead to great games imo
I wasn’t trying to be offensive if I came off that way. The Union is an old mentality and I can see their usefulness but also the danger. We’re in the age of AI and robots and skill based labor. Unions can be dangerous these days. You could replace your entire workforce in one move. Checkmate. Look to the kiosk replacing workers in the 20 dollar minimum wage era.
Well run businesses don’t need unions. If you need a Union that business won’t survive anyway. Unless it’s propped up by the government with corporate welfare (which is the real issue). If you’re not going to spend some on your workers (Amazon, Google) then your welfare is cut off. No tax breaks. All you put together don’t match their wealth and resources, the union is a traditional memory at this point and counterproductive with this new enemy we face. They need a flying elbow from the top ropes. And by “working class is a made up term” I just mean we’re not a class system and even CEO Bobby Kotick puts in a days work lol. Or did.. It’s just a vague term that doesn’t mean anything no offense lol. People say “middle class” but that can change quick right? Up or down. That’s not a “class system”.
The Simpsons: Hit and Run, The Legend of Dragoon, and Chrono Trigger would benefit substantially from a modern remake.
The Xenosaga trilogy, the Wild Arms games, Xenogears, Parasite Eve, Dino Crisis, Suikoden. The Warriors game I know nothing about but it looks interesting. Anybody can do a list of games they want to see get modernized I would lose my shit if Namco brought the Xenosaga trilogy to modern consoles.
Modders have cooked up something pretty special – a Wii console which is small enough to fit on your keys. A wee Wii.
I'd get last generations hardware with a new controller for $200, but for $300 I might aswell just put that towards a PS3.
lol nintendo is F@cked ..who`s gonna buy a ps3 then a Wii..i like it ..just like i said 2 weeks after E3 i`m loosing interest in this over hype wii thing ..
50 dollars actually makes a difference in my mind. I was all set to buy one at release, regardless of games. But 300 makes me take a step back; I'll wait to see the games.
if this price is accurate or close, then no, you can't use the arguement of "i can get a 360 and a Wii for the price of a PS3." haha anyway, $300 isn't that bad. i'll still buy the Wii anyway.
because i just can't.
