" think if you turned down your tone a little and didnt come across as being arrogant, you may be taken a little more seriously and recieve a lot less guff in the process."
lol yea i know, but thanks anyways. i try, but sometimes it is difficult....because i am arrogant. lol
also odifiend seems to have good common sense and logic. there really is nothing to argue about.

well ill give you warioware and fire emblem. i actually thought about that, but they are both names that have already been used before. as for mouse...you are confusing the definitions of proof and evidence. you can have lots of evidence to prove a point and you will not PROVE your point. there is evidence that this will be a failure...there isnt proof though...and you can not prove it unless you can tell the future. im not trying to prove anything. if the fact that the last 3rd pillar was nintendos biggest failure isnt enough for you that is fine, but i think its enough for me to be a little skeptical. you also have to learn that there are different types of people. some people see the cup half empty and some see if half full. its just the way people are. i actually usually see the cup half full most of the time, but for some reason its almost always half empty will nintendo. lol and what else am i supposed to base my opinion on....HAHHAHHA facts???

hahahhaha they can barely support 2 consoles. most of the good games that come out on gba are old games. and a great deal of the gc games are old establised franchises. i cant remember the last time nintendo put something original out. wasnt 2003 supposed to be the year of the new franchises? and 2002 was supposed to be the year of the establised franchises right?
they dont have enough resources to do anything new....either that or they lack vision or they are lazy. either way there hasnt really been any new nintendo games that stick out in my mind. this shows me they are barely getting by when it comes to ideas for games. on top of that, they had to lower expectations AGAIN today. lastly, and worse of all, the last 3rd pillar they had was a failure....well its the closest thing to a 3rd pillar that i have ever known....VIRTUAL BOY. sure there is a lot more to be announced, but i dont think there is too much to be excited about if you care for nintendos well being.

thats not what nintendo said. the psp is estimated to cost between $199 - $249...if it does cost that much, that is going to be what kills it. however, ea announced they have as many as 1 games already in developement for the thing. ea may not be everyones favorite deveolper here, but a lot of casual gamers do think that. i just dont think nintendo should be screwing around with expiraments when their greatest foe is going to try and get a piece of the handheld market. maybe it will all work for to nintendos advantage, and i hope it does, but i think it sounds like a mistake. think if sony released a "3rd pillar" and didnt make a ps3....lol it would nintendos and m$'s greatest joy. it just doesnt seem practical to try and support 3 "consoles".

im not basing my opinion on the fact that the ds has 2 screens. its because they are going to try and support 2 handhelds at the same time, while sony (nintendos most formidable competitor) is releasing its new handheld. its not a great recipe for success if you ask me.

yea thats for sure. i dont think they have ever done anything creative when i think about it. however, becaues of their lack of vision, they are very good at some of the games they do make. and they always seem to put out madden very quickly on new systems.

well as usual, what i post is just my opinion, but i dont believe nintendo can fully support both. i hope they can, but i dont think they will be able to support both enough to make them both extremely popular. just think if nintendo put its full support into the gamecube...it would be way more popular wouldnt it??? i thikn it would be. game support means a lot, but now the game support will be split between these two handhelds.

that is exactly why i do not like this move by nintendo. who would care if all they had to compete with was the n-gage...but the psp is going to go to have a easier time when nintendo has to spread its resources over 2 handhelds. by the time the psp comes out, the gba will be outdated, and the ds will be some new ewird thing that will never catch on. unless the ds has the full backing from nintendo, it will not succeed.

the only region the cube leads the xbox in is japan. the xbox leads in europe 3.7 to about 3 million. the cube is closing the gap between it and xbox in north america, but it still has a ways to go.

That has nothing to do with it. Casual gamers don't look at a game on the shelf like BG&E and think "boy that game's too long" they think "I've never heard of that game so I'm not buying it." Millions of people buy Final Fantasy games every year and those games are huge so I don't think it's the complexity or game length that is turning people off. Other RPGs don't usually sell as well as Final Fantasy even if they're made by Square Enix. The reason for that likely being that Final Fantasy is a very well known "brand" and Disgaea isn't.
Notice I didn't say Madden specifically is the reason other games bomb I said "endless sequel series" which includes series like Madden. If you don't think that there's too much reliance on sequels in today's industry you're being rather ignorant. As for why someone would be offended of a cookie cutter sequel series selling better than a new game it's because sales dictate what is made and what isn't in the game industry. Thus Madden selling well encourages the creation of more cookie-cutter sequels. BG&E not selling not only kills the potential for any future BG&E games but also discourages the creation of other new games.
the bit about people not looking at games like BG&E is a good point. however, i believe that part of the reason people dont hear about games like that is because they dont take video games that seriously. when you buy a car, you look into the product, but with things like video games, movies, and music....they dont cost that much and people often buy these things spontaneously. i think its more so with video games because they are not covered as much by the mass media as the other two. video games will one day be on every news channel on a daily basis, but that day hasnt come yet. so now adays people have to LOOK for info on games by themselves, and the average person doesnt care enough to do that. average gamers say.."i want a snowboarding game" and their mom just goes out and gets them one (every time i am at cosco i see about 5 moms asking for advice on which game to get their kid). its an immature industry, but it is growing. back to football though....its just not a very practical sport to play on a daily basis. i play it about once a month at my church. and we usually barely get enough people to play. its a rough sport and a lot of people are scared to play it. madden is a good way to get your football fix imo, and to ME that is worth buying it every year....but like i said, i almost never pay full price for it.

people who hate on madden and sports games are usually little nintendo fangirls that are too weak to play sports in real life, so they dont appriciate the video games. so he just made the same assumption about you. dont take it personal.....unless you fit that description.

yea football is hands down the best sport. it has everything. there are a lot more things they could do with madden. i could name them off, but i cant think of any right now. i can understand why people wouldnt like madden. if you dont love football, i wouldnt expect you to. if you love videogames and football....you HAVE to love madden.
