"laughable. Nintendo is retarded, making a system with ps3/360 graphics...I guess they forgot that those are both 5+ year old systems. "
You know whats really funny? this is the first generation that sony has produced a powerful machine. The first time.
The ps1 was less powerful (although more storage), The ps2 was less powerful than both the gamecube and xbox.
So now its all about graphics and power when they FINALLY create a pow...
O and i forgot >
"If Microsoft where to ship a new XBox with Kinect build-in would you consider that a new generation even if the rest of the hardware was the same?"
Ahh no because the 360 still can play kinect without it being built in. Just because they make 360's with it built in does not mean that is next gen. If the original 360's could not play it in any way shape or form then yes.
Kinda like how the gamecube cant...
"That's just stupid, how would you define generations for PCs that can be upgraded on an almost continuous basis?"
Dont you think Pc's are a little different thought because you can upgrade them in any which way using the same board. Can you go to an apple store and upgrade your ipod using the same case>> ?
"And Apple is a bad example, they would have you believe that changing the color is a new generation and warrants upgrading....
Well it's kinda hard to beat the "prince of all sayains"
Good watch, got a good laugh.
"Or its from people who prefer precise, nontedious controls when playing games.... "
Resident evil 4 had awesome controls. Felt like i was really using a shot gun. Made the game a little too easy because it was very precise and quick.
"Whats the point? they still havent peaked with this generation of consoles, still have uncharted 3 and GoW3 to come yet along with Mass Effect 3. "
Chrono Trigger was released for the super nes on it's last legs and is hailed the best snes game ever created. 6 years is normal for a console upgrade if you look back through history.
Everybody must be under the impression that because sony said they wanted to use the same tech for ten years that ...
"Next gen means whatever you want it to mean. For me it's tied to the performance, so whether I consider the next Nintendo console next gen will depend on how far ahead it is of the PS3 and Xbox.
You're free to define it any way you want. "
So when compared to a PC how far behind are all consoles in terms of your GEN...meaning your are obviously determining your GEN by its hardware.
The ps3, 360 and wii are dinosaurs when it...
^ I personally believed the Snes did. But thats only my opinion. Not fact. The ps2 didnt really do that much for me personally.
I would even take the mega drive library over the ps2 library. I had more fun on the gamecube and xbox in that generation.
Actually the ps2 is. But you never here about those games right?
With around 2000 games, they all were AAA were they? Barbies horse adventures looked good, same with DOA beach volleyball.
You do realize the most popular system always has alot of shovelware. Kinda why the gamecube had very little in comparison to the ps2 at the time.
Even the NES had bucket loads. Its how it always has been, 20 crap games to 1 good one.

"the difference with those times is that hardcore games today like uncharted have become really big production games that spend millions and millions to produce...
its just not as cheap as in the NES times... "
How do you know? Did you make Nes games. Either way games that costs millions and millions may not even be as good as mario 3.
A cheap nes game?? That a whole movie was based around ? lol To this day...
AWBrawler stop making sense ! These people dont like to hear common sense.
I mean these 1800 people that got survyed are the only ones in the UK that count for statistics lol
I cant believe some of the comments im reading. It's like the majority of you live in some sort of fantasy land.
HUh so for the 5million plus that bought the game Donkey Kog Country Returns none of them in the uK played it?? lol
So they bought the game and didnt play it?? How stupid is this article. 1800 people intervied??
lol shame on the people making STUPID comments thinking this actually has some merit.
@karl
You must be new to gaming or something. Casuals have always kept the market going. Ever heard of sing star or DDR? games like that make lots of money, more than FPS's dream of.
It's always been like that. Ever since the Nes. 20 crap games to 1 really good one.
^ I have this game. It is OK, seriously nothing special. I actually prefer worms.
Again. Nothing special about this game. Just average. That's why it is only a dollar. It would take 30 or 40 buys to equal one DS game.
I get you like it, that's cool. But give me spirit tracks and pokemon any day.
Agreed. Like i said if this is its biggest competetion im sure nintendo and SONY shouldnt be worried.
I know im not, plus who the hell listens to pachter?
1.Im pretty sure this game is going to DSi ware. I would much rather play Zelda than this $2 dollar game on an i touch or iphone.
I have the capcom arcade and it sucks playing on the touch screen only. Covers half the screen !
And is no where near as accurate with the "virtual arcade stick"
Don't forget those pesky spiders.
Damn Redbacks
aussie aussie aussie
Mortal Kombat?
Great graphics doesn't mean the games have gotten any better.
Tetris is still as addictive as ever and they are just blocks falling.
