slinkydevil Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 So it appears it is all a bit pointless, eh? Yes pointless at this stage considering the consoles age IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millman Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Why is there such a negative campaign being raged by certain posters on here regarding certain consoles? Do these people actually want the consoles or the companies making them to fail? What would be left if Sony and Microsoft do give up on consoles? Will the games industry be led by the Wii style games (I really hope not I like my games a bit more complex then most of its titles)? Would the PC games industry survive without XBOX \ PS ports (there aren't many cross platform Wii PC games)? I am interested in your responses.

Slim Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Why is there such a negative campaign being raged by certain posters on here regarding certain consoles? I can't speak for others, but personally I'm exercising my right as a free spirited consumer. All the current Gen are flawed in my book. Do these people actually want the consoles or the companies making them to fail? Yes, if they're going to continue to rip people off. What would be left if Sony and Microsoft do give up on consoles? Will the games industry be led by the Wii style games (I really hope not I like my games a bit more complex then most of its titles)? In the nature of free markets, if there was a demand someone else would fill it. Would the PC games industry survive without XBOX \ PS ports (there aren't many cross platform Wii PC games)? Sure. I've rarely played a cross platform game on my pc, most of em have been shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the mo beats experience Posted May 17, 2007 Author Share Posted May 17, 2007 The only thing thats wrong is that there's no new software out on it till next month. Microsoft at that kind of loss despite having been out nearly 2 years. Nintendo making profit, woohoo, the wii only costs a fiver and is last gen, its not in the same catagory as 360 and PS2. I think the wii quite happily out performs the ps2. Just about, but it should do anyway it came out, what, 6 years later? There's plenty of new wii releases, are you blind? I was talking bout the PS£, thought that was obvious. There's loads of kids stuff out for the wii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noone is ripped off if the person is happy and think its worth it to pay the amount. What you mean is yes you want to see them fail cus YOU personally think its not worth it.

What you mean is yes you want to see them fail cus YOU personally think its not worth it. Sure, don't see the difference. I dont want to pay that much. I'd like it to fail, as it looks like it has, so that the message is quite clear what level consoles should be priced. A price drop this summers reported, so it looks like they're getting the message. As for wii games being for kids, behave? Zelda is 12+ rated, Excite truck, Tiger woods, Red Steel are all adult games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 360 is doing alright at the moment but launch sold less than the ps3. Its been out a year and a half now and its doing fine, I expect the ps3 will do exactly the same. the price drop has been planned since day one. so I dont see your point excite truck and tiger woods are adult games? classic.

Slim Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I see a big difference and its been out 10 minutes so how you can claim it has failed I have no idea. It's failed so far. The wii's not been out much longer, and is selling more than six times the ps3 worldwide. That's a failure in my book. Sure it may pick up, I hope it does, and drive the price down. the price drop has been planned since day one. so I dont see your point Show me evidence of that please? excite truck and tiger woods are adult games? classic. In what way are they kids games? Explain yourself instead of 'loling' like a tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K.os Theory Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 this is such a great thread...reminds me of the school-yard zx spectrum vs commodore 64, or nes vs mega-drive, or ps1 vs n64, or ps2 vs xbox... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes been trying for years, and has just about perfected it arf arf ur asking me in what way are wii games for kids? maybe in the same way every single nintendo console since year dot has been for kids. that has always been the way. Thats how they do so well in the market place. They have their niche sector of kids , families , and blokes that should be on registers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you're a bit dim, but you need to actually qualify what you say or it just looks like you're talking biggoted shite. Tiger woods isn't a kids game, it's aimed squarely at adults. It's also on the ps3 as well as the wii. Does that make the ps3 a kids console too spanna? The wii is very deliberately not targetted to kids, look at the wii marketing: http://wii.com/ see any kids? I shouldn't be surprised that you're a bit dim, you played double the cost of a 360 for something that plays the same games... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
