Uhhh... Five bucks says if the PS3 outsells the Wii on the next NPD
edit: I didn't see the "short versions"
Huh? The PS3 phat 80GB is $299.99:
Videogame stories usually are really bad .... or a failed attempt at an ambitious story that comes across like wankery tripe written by a 13 year old goth.
Show me a 30 minute clip of Sony drunk on its own success at E3 during the PS2 dynasty and I'll agree this is industry standard.

The fact that this article got posted at all by IGN leads me to suspect that they were setting up Kaigler for a specific response (the one provided).
What is Sales Bot doing out of his cage in the sales thread? Who left the door open this time?
It was lack of games, but I don't really fault Nintendo much for that. They may be the most efficient and talented developers ever, but they aren't gods, capable of bending physics to their whim. Japanese third parties are mostly to blame for that, because they formed an anti-Wii cartel and either blacklisted the console from serious development or started half-brained, half-assed spinoff development.
Sounds like they spent a lot of money to make something they should've had 3 years ago.
because of Nintendo World Report I skipped over Phantom Hourglass. 1st time I skipped a zelda game.
Yeah, definitely looked more JRPGish. I don't like how many scenes there were that looked like cutscenes, cutscenes force linearity and that already messed up Fusion and Prime 3.
All Metroid games since in the modern era (Primes and the GBA games) have choke points that occur in a linear order (power-up acquisition and boss fights). The game could retain exploration as usual and simply have the story occur at the choke points.
In Prime 1 and the non-Fusion 2D games the order of progrssion was naturally based on what you could do, Fusion had arbitrary door locks and Prime 3 had mission goals that then allowed you to land on new areas. Both felt much more restrictive than the natural (and sequence-breakable) limits imposed in earlier Metroids. Zero Mission had only one forced linear section and it was terrible, the rest was fairly open and the cutscenes could be triggered in the wrong order by sequence breaking.
