But I love video games and women. Put the two together and it's heaven.
No kidding Nintendo outsold PS3, there as many PS3s. The real question I have is how Nintendo did in sales compared to Microsoft.
Yeah, you might have a shaky connection like I did. This effected my laptop as well as my Wii. I fixed the issue now and the Wii has no problem.
Still irritating how I have to wait for a minute or so to connect to the shop channel. I thought I was already connected 24/7.
I wasn't really even going to buy a next gen system, but Nintendo lured me right in. After I got it at midnight, I took it home with my friend who also bought one and we stayed up till 4am trying out all the wii sports games.
My very skeptical girlfriend, who doesn't like video games past NES, gave it a try and loved it. The coolest aspect was that I could not win all the time, and I even tried to. She then proceeded to try Excite Truck and Rayman and ended up loving them bo...
Of course Nintendo is going to advise consumers to buy their system. I mean, I would too if I wanted to sell my 4 million units that I am shipping by years end.
Don't get me wrong, I am definitely picking one up.
Why do you put people down like that, especially unprovoked.
I do know it won't be free! They should charge 1-2 for NES, and maybe 2-3 for SNES. The less they charge, the more people would buy and be happy.
I could see 5-10 MAYBE for some N64 games, but not NES or SNES. They have to be smarter than this... I hope.
Your argument about applying Nintendo's strategy to other industries is specious. Yes you can say that if the auto industry didn't advance technology then where would we be today? But at the same time, what if the auto industry just advanced a certain technology, let's say horsepower. We can remember the 70's when all car companies cared about was more power. Sound familiar? More power only gets you so far, you need to be more well rounded in all industries. Cars evolved technology with...
I'm not so sure it was Nintendo's greed that led the N64 to remain cartridge based. They were bound to make less money from manufacturing a cartridge compared to CDs. I think it was more of a lack of research and development and the CD games being a newer technology (load time problems). I fully understand that Nintendo has had a greedy past (SNES), but I think since then Nintendo has been struggling to remain in the race, therefore negating any attempts at being greedy.
I agreed with how the article pointed out that Sony hasn't really come up with anything new and exciting to bring to the industry. All of their features are rip offs of other companies. I will admit that they take those ideas and make them stronger and sometimes better, but never really anything new. Evidentally there is nothing wrong with this strategy, or else the PS2 wouldn't have dominated. But then again, I believe that if either Nintendo or Microsoft had the third part support that ...
I think scrooge was referring to the american way of iced tea. Take tea flavored syrup, mix with water, and presto... American iced tea. No heat, and even no ice! ;)
Oh and I forgot... NO TEA!
Hopefully if they start quitting in droves, these employees will start their own indie game companies. That way they can enforce treating employees better themselves.
This is the typical form of Japanese racism. Everything we make is superior... garbage. All parts for all machines are made in the same countries. Furthermore, a company is only as good as it's employees, and no company only employs from one nation.. for a reason.
why would some crappy store in who knows where, have any idea of the price? This story has no credibility.
A friend told me that he asked some guy at ComputerSuperStore and he said that the PS3 was going to be free!
You have to know that some people do not have a conscious (psychopaths), smellslikepie. What do you do with them? Imprisonment for the rest of their life? Also, are you willing to try and re-educate a violent sex offender and place them back on the street? Over 80% will re-offend. Have fun with that on your conscious when they harm more children. I agree that killing is not the answer for all but the most heinous of crimes, but come on, re-education so they feel sorry for what they have...
it would have been a little more accurate to say only slightly ahead of XBox 360 and GBA.
