I think that says all we need to know about this fellow.
Well, that and claiming the GBA market is 6-12 year olds.

I've also grown cold towards TechTV since it began merging with G4. G4 is about as anti Nintendo as I've ever seen, and they constantly kiss between the arse-cheeks of Sony and Microsoft. Makes me sick.

What is this guy smoking? EA totally caters to the mature audience. What age group do you think Madden and all their other sports games sell to? EA is playing it really smart. Their top games are either sports titles or 'T' rated games. The 'T' rating is the best rating to have because it appeals to adults and is appropriate for kids. As much as I hate it EA will remain a huge success unless casual gamers lose interest in the gaming "fad".
I do agree with him in that I don't think Microsoft will maintain their momentum. Once they're no longer able to throw around millions of dollars for marketing and buying other developers and actually are expected by the higher-ups to make a profit they're going to have to cut down on the Xbox's luxuries and the fanbase isn't going to support that. They've made the mistake of training their fans to expect greatly superior hardware, and Xbox Live, and for important games to be "bought" and realistically they can't keep giving all that to the fans and make a profit at the same time.

Greatly superior to what? The only way people can think that is if you listened to MS and their huge hype before the launch.
MS will have a problem if Sony decides to get up off their bloated asses and buy some developers/exclusives themselves. I also think Microsoft overlooks Nintendo in their crazed pursuit of Sony. If Nintendo is incredibly aggressive next gen. like they should be, they should easily gain a much bigger market share, and in turn get those 3rd party games that have been missing this gen.
Lastly, since when was Gamespots 'interest' a secret?

The hype is mostly what I meant. From the listed specs the Xbox is the "most powerful" of the three consoles. Rumour has it MS isn't planning on going with the raw power focused design this time because it's not profitable. However that means that specs sheet isn't going to look as impressive (which for some reason is a big deal to a lot of fans) and the hardware itself may not be significantly more powerful thus not giving the Xbox 2 the advantage of having the best looking games.

Havibg all three systems and a kick ass display set up, I will say this. Games on the x-box generally look and sound much better than games on the gamecube, and much much better than my PS2.
The x-box titles seem to be more vibrant in colors and overall appearance. The sound is no contest, in game DD 5.1 sounds great.
Load times on the box and cube are similar with the cube having the slight edge, the PS2 load times can be horrendous.
The one thing I hate are the flipper disks on Gamecube games such as Tiger Woods 2004. Getting up to change a damn disk all the time is a pain in the arse. Bigger media would have been a real plus.
I like all 3 controllers, each has good and bad points.

Wow- that was completely irrelevant. We're talking about a Gamespot article, not how each console compare.

EA is appealing to a group much more diverse than just "mature" gamers with sports games- sports are universally enjoyed by a gigantic amount of people stretching across many ages, backrounds, gender, etc- targeting such a broad group with just one game will produce incredible results, and that's why Madden continues to do so well.

ROFL!!! Completely irrelevant lol! PLEASE... The issue at hand had temporarily switched from the Gamespot discussion to whether XB is indeed superior hardware... (as it often happens the name of thread doesn't always stay glued to that discussion).

oh wot, off topic shenanigans in this thread.I think this clown (the interviewee) is just an anti EA goon, note him saying 'one copy of Madden is enough' and i tend to agree

That is BS. The 2 previous posts both brought up the X-box's power as did the article. I was simply pointing out, that through my personal experiences, that indeed the x-box performs as the most powerful console.
So I say again mouse, you do not run these forums, so please get over yourself.

Anti-Nintendo? Sure... but he was just as Anti-Sony. He was perfectly happy to accept the DS as having an edge over the PSP, where he got really hostile was when the interviewee started badmouthing Microsoft's strategy.

That was what i was trying to get at
The Analyst being interviewed trully believes Nintendo has a chance the next generation, and i agree with him, but this guy from Gamespot seemed to throw that idea asside basically saying Nintendo just cares about the kiddies, Nintendo beat Microsoft? Imposible!

The new E3 awards shows Conker's Live and Reloaded as best overall graphics over DOOM3, Resident Evil4, HalfLife2, etc. I saw CLR and the graphics were not that great it was okay but even timepslitters 3 had about the same graphic prowess.
Also they had PSP over DS by large margin. PSP had 12 votes and DS 6 and AlienWare got 2 votes for best hardware/pheripherial. And quoting that most of their editors thought that the PSP is the evoloution of handheld gaming. Umm how is a evoloution if it is really just the same old same old except with better graphics and larger screen?
And Halo got game of show. Ok yeah great game and all but the game has no originality at all. Everything this game has has been ripped off of other games. The only new additions include Live Support, dual guns, new vehicles, new guns, more maps. Online play for FSP isnt new, dual guns is certainly not new (goldeneye, perfect dark, etc) vehicles are original though, and guns well perfect dark still wallops halo in this aspect, and maps perfect dark still wins here too. So how does this sequal deserve best of show?
IGN = Anti Gaming (LOL)

I think part of the reason why some people might favor the PSP despite DS excellent showing at E3 is that less was shown, so people still have hyped expectations that it may or may not achieve. Ofcourse the same can go for the DS because once the ideas really start flowing for the dual screens and touch screen they can surpass any expectations, it's just that consumers expectations are more tangible on the surface for PSP because it's familiar while the DS consumer expectations are less tangible because it's entirely new and innovative. I guess it will just end upto how well the designers utilize the PSP but more importantly the innovative DS hardware.
