Except they don't. Unless the Wii U is priced at $200, it's going to crash and burn. Does anyone know what the actual console itself looks like?
Versus XIII will never happen.

I think it's more to do with the feel of Die Hard. The brutality that an action hero can face. I think Uncharted gets close to that feeling, but it's third person.
Yeah, but there's investment in the story that you have to take into consideration. People spend dozens of hours with a game, meaning they have a bigger stake in what's going on in the story.

A glowing endorsement.
Your rational statement has no place within these comments, good sir!
One of the funniest reviews I've read in a while.
Love this.
As it turns out, having the same control scheme as a PSP doesn't equal success.
Right.
Yeah, I realized that too. Here's a kicker:
They also have the Power Rangers license.

I honestly think that people DO call out the other companies disproportionally more than Microsoft. Fans tend to forget that Microsoft has done this with Halo when they get on their high horses to criticize other companies. And the way Microsoft has gone about it is unlike other companies.
With Ubisoft or Activision, you expect that there's going to be an Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty each year; they've already st...
