"Perhaps they just envy Nintendo's bottom line?"
if this were the case, they would be building a handheld, not a console, since the handheld market is where Nin makes all of its cake.

I 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.
Just a thought from someone who has learned this first hand

You have to understand that he is simply making a prediction, and a prediction can be based on fact or simply a gut feeling.
I myself wonder how Nin is going to play this out, and just how the public will react to it. Personally, I dont see it taking off, as a good portion of the people who own GBA's will probably be satisfied with what they have.

" I you have a decent PC pick up Call of Duty and UT2003. Both are excellent titles."
why must you push PC games on people who did not ask for them?
I would recommend Timesplitters, true crime, MOH frontline, Dead to Rights.

You seem to be attacking nolimit based on his name and not nessasarily on his opinion.
I think the point he is trying to make is, by Nin having 2 seperate handhelds on the market it will no doubt limit the amount of possible sales of both, especially for people entering the handheld market for the first time.
If you want your first ever handheld next year, NIN will have 2 if they keep to word, I cannot see both of them selling like mad, one surely hurt the other, add in the PSP and they have 3 to choose from.
So I can see where he is coming from, but with the PSP coming out, I can also see why NIN sees the need for a new product as well.

"That is actually a reality with Madden, the updates are so minimal, it feels like the same game. Why pay $50 for one new gameplay element, when you can get 100 for the same price? Eh? "
Because I can afford too, and that is how I choose to spend my money. Just because you do not like a game, does not make its purchace by someone who does unjustified. Calling a large number of the people who do buy it idiots is also way off base. Unless you personally have met these people you are basing their intelligence simply on your own biases and ignorance.
If I, or anyone else chooses to buy Madden every year for a few improvements, and updated rosters, it is in no way at all, any business of yours.

Why do you see the need to call people who like sports games casual gamers and morons?
I love sports games, they are by far my favorite genre of games. I am not a casual gamer, I own all 3 systems and have been gaming since the Atari 2600 days, I have a masters degree in finance, I am in my 30's and I buy Madden every year because I like it, because I want to, because I can afford too. It has nothing to do with hype, nothing to do with intelligence, and nothing to do with casual gaming.
As for your age Mario, no one who is of a mature age would make a comment as ignorant as yours.

" Madden is just a pathetic cash in on a popular sport, released at the right time of the year with the right advertising to attract casual idiots who have no idea which game to buy. They look at it, think "hey, it's football! I like football! That means i will like this game! I'm smart!", and they walk out of the store with their copy of Madden feeling really special. Then next year they do it again, then again, and again. Sure, it may be a good game, but that's what it is, one good game, not five. Owning one Madden game is fune, but I pity the fools who keep buying it over and over again when there are much better things that they could spend their money on. Oh well. "
THis is way out of line and totally uncalled for.
Just because you have no interest in something doesnt make it a waste of time. You are clearly showing your age with this comment and I for one would ban you if I had the power too.
If people want to buy Madden every year, it is their choice. If you think I walk into Wal-mart and buy Madden simply because I see "football" on the shelf, then you are sorely mistaken.

" but the newest version of madden might prevent a 15 year old kid with no job from experiencing a completely new game instead of a rehash of last year's model."
its the kids money to spend as he/she wishes.
"nd the reason i should care about this is because if enough people miss out in a game like beyond good & evil, it's not going to see a sequal. and, more importantly, developers like ubi soft will look at that and decide not to make new, interesting games. "
I can afford BG&E. I looked at it, read the reviews and decided the game is of no interest to me. I bought NHL 2004 instead. Had to have the Heatley cover.

"I'd wager that a good 70% of the people who play sports games match the "too weak to play sports in real life" description in that they don't play on any sort of real organized team."
I would think that 70% is outrageously high. I am thinking more like 20%.

"It's because of endless sequel series like Madden that original games like Eternal Darkness, ICO, and Beyond Good & Evil bomb. "
Is it? Or maybe its because a large portion of the public doesnt take video games very seriously and has no interest in playing a game that takes 50 hours to complete.
I hate it when people blame games like Madden when titles like BG&E dont sell. Screw the serious gamer, or those who think they are and thus think they know better than anyone else. Madden sells well every year because enough people like to play it, it really is that simple. If enough people wanted to play a 50 hour adventure game then they too, would sell as well, but obviously they dont.
For me personally, I have no problem dropping a measly $50 a year on a game I like, for nothing more than roster changes and a few extra tweaks in gameplay. To me, it is worth it for the amount I time I will spend playing it. With this years Madden, I even get a signifigantly better gameplay experience.
Again this all boils down to personal preferance, and I for the life of me cant understand why so many here are offended by a game that sells well.

"Now, why don't we add more different levels to games like Madden?"
You cant add more levels and still be a simulation. If you add levels you become more of a fantasy game, and less of a true sports sim.
" People complain about yearly releases of normal sports games, but I never heard people say that the new Tony Hawk's or Need for Speed was too much like the last one... Must be because these games have changing levels..."
I am not sure if that is the reason, although it surely may play a part in it.
Other than Tony Hawk, the other games arent really released yearly, and dont sell anywhere near the numbers of Madden. This could be a reason you hear less complaining about them.
Also a point to note is, who are the people who do the complaining in regards to yearly releases of sports title? I find most of the complainers dont even play the games. So I really dont understand what they are complaining about.

" people who hate on madden and sports games are usually little nintendo fangirls that are too weak to play sports in real life,"
I wouldnt go that far.
"Biased? Yeah. Everybody's biased. Ignorant? I think not. In Madden 2001, you play a game of virtual football. In Madden 2004, you play a game of virtual football. It doesn't change much. It's still football. More or less, I am correct."
c'mon now, this is painting a picture with a awful broad brush. That like me saying Zelda, is just an adventure game like the last Zelda, change Hyrule for water and you pretty much have the same game. More or less I am correct as well, yet, I know the responce this kind of comment would generate.
"Much different? I reckon it's still football. I'm sure I still run plays against a defense to get a ball into an end zone. And when they have the ball, it's time for me to defend. I've done all this before."
This tells me you dont like football, period. Not just the virtual game, but the real game, and if this is indeed true, how can you expect to enjoy a great simulation of the real thing without any aprreciation of the real game. Football is about getting the ball into the endzone, and defending your endzone without the ball, yes, its a very simple premise.
"Yup. If I don't like playing virtual football, then I MUST NOT LIKE PLAYING FOOTBALL IN REAL LIFE, huh? What faulty logic. Funny you didn't talk about the Owner mode, because it sucks. And the Playmaker stuff doesn't really affect a damn thing. It's more of an audible call anyway. Yeah sure you can tell your blockers to go somewhere but it's still useless."
How is this faulty logic. Read my previous statements as to why I think you dont like the real game, it appears very obvious in your tone. As for the owner mode, I personally like it, again this is a matter of taste.
The playmaker stuff is where you are furthest off base. Yes, it is a form of an audible to a degree, but it is also so much more. It gives you as the QB a chance to read the defence and react to it like never before in a virtual game of football. As someone who played QB in highschool, and was a backup in University (yes, I wasnt good enough to start) I really have to say, I am stunned at the amount of control you have as a QB in this years version. Also the ability to break routes withs your recievers is a big plus.
"Point out where I said anything about Nintendo. Way to jump to conclusions. 2 for 2 on faulty logic, sir.
I admit I did jump to conclusions about the Nintendo part, but your posting history tells me it is a safe assumption, and one I would no doubt stick too. As for you not liking the real game, I would still bet that that is indeed the case. You also have yet to say whether or not this is true?
As for the game itself, the sheer number of people who would disagree with you on this subject tells me they must be on to something.

" The problem with Madden is despite the (lack of) changes in edition yearly edition, you are still playing the same game of football. I don't care if they instituted a new Owner/Franchise/Spectator/Hot Dog Vendor Mode... all they are are shades of the same boring ass game of digital football that was made in Madden 2000. Thee really isn't much left for the series to do."
How can someone who is suppose to be a writer say something so biased and ignorant?
The 2004 game is much differant from the 2003 version, the playmaker feature being the biggest, most signifigant advancement. You are obviously someone who isnt a fan of the real game and misses the subtleties of the Madden series, simple writing off the games as the same thing every year. For someone who is a writer, this kind of reply is unacceptable and clearly shows your biases towards anything non nintendo. Just because you dont appreciate something, doesnt make it bad.
