aahahahhahahah in yer dreams!

Maybe they want Nintendo to remian in the game market for the sole reason of stealing their ideas!

Without Wii, the Dual Shock 3 wouldn't have had anything to add!

I read it like this:

"When you go to the store to buy a Wii use all that money you save to also buy a Playstation 3!"

"No, buy an Xbox 360 to compliment your Wii. It's cheaper than a PS3."

Essentially Sony and MS are positioning THEMSELVES as the second console with the Wii being the assumed purchase. They may not even realize that but that's what they're saying.

P666 > Uh, it's no longer a "Dual Shock"!

Wether people like it or not, publicity even from competitors is fair and always welcome.

OH SNAPS, I got SERVD

LoL $ony and ms are already beging for mercy!

They're right, I'm buying a Wiivolution and a PS3 both...though I'm likely getting Nintendo's next gen before I do Sony's...
360 isn't even in the running at this point for me, it has nothing I want.

WiiDS combo sounds just right.

Yeah, it's not like either one of them said, "Forget us, just buy a Wii."

Even though that's what they should have said.

Has Nintendo erected a true lightening rod in the center of the industry?
Are they truly rising above the traditional "console wars?"
Will Sony and Microsoft ever. JUST. GO. AWAY.

Stay tuned!

I know, its weird how its playing out. Its as if in playing hookey from the "big game," they are letting two big, bad schoolyard bullies to really get to know one another, knowing what will inevitably then ensue. Problem solved?

At first, nintendo was scaring me with their "Blue Ocean" nonsense speak. I'm actually unfortunately familiar with corporate jargon, and hearing that kind of corporate theory come from Nintendo was quite disheartening and put a solid knot in my stomache. But their master plan is starting to show itself, and it really is epic. Provided things play out as they're appearing to be, the NES will no longer be remembered as their big, bold accomplishment, which is fscking INSANE to think about!

/methinks this is perhaps something they've been hammering out for a long time, while Yamauchi was still in the big chair. I mean, surely this isn't all a plan by Satoru Iwata...



Right?

Now, why doesn't Microsoft let Nintendo sell Rare games on the VC?

" I haven't had a chance to check out the Wii myself, but Nintendo has a great history of innovation and has always done great things for gaming and long may they do so....so we can "innovate" as well"

thats how i read that last statement anyway.

"Now, why doesn't Microsoft let Nintendo sell Rare games on the VC?"

although i'd love to play some of those classic rare games, the only way i see microsoft doing that while rare is under their belt is by having some kinda MS ads in the game. Like you d/l perfect dark and after the Rare logo you see something like "perfect dark 0 only on xbox" or something. that would be super lame and i wouldnt want nintendo to make an agreemant which would advertise its competitor.

What's with all this love crap, bring on Blast Processing.

Sorry, my Megadrive exploded, no more blast processing for you.

I was buying a PS3 at launch... until the "$600 LOL" crap... Now I don't know what I'm doing besides getting Wii.

What was the system seller for the PS3? I can understand Halo 3 on the 360, but what on the PS3 is a clear must-have?

Well there isn't really one. I was just assuming that Square would be handing everything to them.

The winning combo is Nintendo+PC and every gamer knows it.

is it just me or are they assuming that Nintendo already won?

I've been thinking this for quite some time now. Wii is so cheap and innovative, it's almost a must-have second console. But if enough people pick it up as a second (in addition to the ones who pick it up exclusively) Nintendo could eclipse both of the big guys. It's going to be a very interesting "console war" that's for sure.

Kojima wants to make movies, not games. That's why. Just watch the MGS4 trailer. He wants to be Akira Kurosawa.

There was this article where Kojima wanted to run away from MGS4 to develop for the Wii but of course he cant at the moment. From what Ive read it appears he really never wanted to make so many Metal Gear Solid games, thats probably why Snake is killing himself in this one.

No sh!t?

That's a good sign if I've ever seen one.

Kojima: "I'd like to run away from MGS 4 creation and create something for the Wii but unfortunately, I don't have anything that I can announce at the moment. I have lots of ideas for Wii but I have a heavy schedule with MGS 4 and Metal Gear Online."

Excuses.

I'm tempted to get a 360 for Alan Wake and Bioshock

I don't know what I'm going to do right now. I'm not interested in XBox360 since I've never been a Halo fan, and at $600 the PS3 is no longer a high priority for me. I love the Metal Gear Solid series, but the PS3 is going to have to show me more than that to make me want to buy it.

For those of you wondering about the system sellers are going to be for the PS3, they're going to be what they have been for EVERY Sony system since the beginning:

- A Metal Gear Solid game
- A Final Fantasy Game
- A Gran Turismo game
- A Ridge Racer game
- A Madden game
- A God of War game (eventually)
- A Burnout game (eventually)

I'm sure there are a couple of other titles we could throw in there too, like "Grand Theft Auto IV: The Same With Better Graphics and More Vehicles/Weapons". Can't wait for that one.

People are gravitating towards the Wii because it's the only console that is truly different this generation. The 360 and PS3 offer incremental improvements on the same formula, so there aren't any surprises any more. And since the gaming public has already seen what HDTV gaming looks like on the 360, what the PS3 is doing is even more underwhelming.

Well, I wonder how the lack of force feedback affects some of those games.

It's funny. Sony has done something that Ian will hate a lot. They're throwing out the baby with the bathwater and excluding established features like rumble feedback to include a new unproven "sparkling innovationy" feature like tilt sensors.

Only Final Fantasy, GT and God of War are exclusive among those. The rest will appear on other consoles and maybe even the PC. A non-exclusive is hardly a system seller.
