funny add...thank god the ps3 controller didnt end up like that!

Pot, meet Mr. Kettle. at least i dont hype a piss poor system

give it a rest people...its just a video game console...get a life!! geeze, ive never seen people so defensive over a game system there are more important things to worry about you know...

The only way that would be possible is if the megacorps decide to drop out of it. Nintendo was the strongest of the old game companies, but even they have a hard time dealing with the weight of Sony and Microsoft. ...its just a dream we know it wont happen though... yep nintendo is having a hard time competing with sony and microsoft.

yep, i also agree it would be great if sega and atari came back onto the market.

great post i totally agree with you on this.. Nintendo is slipping they really cant compete with sony and microsoft... face it Nintendo isnt the big fish in the pond anymore and it shows ...if they want to get back their thunder..they should have released a system that could actually compete with the higher end systems ...instead we got the wii (shudders) Okay, either I missed the point of that post or you did. I thought he was saying Nintendo has to stick to their new niche (avoiding the high end grpahics/processing power batle) if they want to remain a profitable and viable company, as they can't afford to go that route. You seem to be reading it to say Nintendo released a terrible system and should have tried to make a more powerful one. The way I'm reading it, it's like saying a company should just make lap tops, witout chasing the high end gaming rig computer market. That doesn't mean they release shitty computers, just a different kind of computer. yes, Nintendo did release a lack luster system it could have been much better .. this is my opinion on the wii..end of story i mean come on can you actually say that the wii is better than the 360 or ps3? lets be honest. and no i didnt miss anything

Right, because they aren't selling enough Wii's to warrant yet another console. yep. they arent selling enough wiis..where i work people are always buying 360s and ps3 s..and we always have the wii sitting on the shelf.. Yep, you're right; they aren't selling enough Wiis. All the confirmed reports of massive shortages and huge sales, as well as Sony's concurrent massive layoffs and firing the head of the PS3 division, certainly says a lot less than how things are going at your one tiny exception to the rule. Where do you work by the way? Chavingtons? Target electronics dept asst manager chicago my brother works at best buy and he says the same thing...the 360 and ps3 are dominating sales now..(then again im not surprised)

lots of good stuff coming soon..cant wait to see factor 5's next star wars game

you have to love the marketing departments..what were they smoking when they came up with this concept? totally pointless.

i had mine since launch day 2005 and i just shipped mine to microsoft today for repairs..so i got a lot of gameplay out of mine . so im keeping my fingers crossed ah well, at least i have my ps3 ..

i just got mine for my 360 today. love it the graphics and gameplay are incredible... its for all systems...even the wii (shudders) although why anybody would want a wii...is another story

Right, because they aren't selling enough Wii's to warrant yet another console. yep. they arent selling enough wiis..where i work people are always buying 360s and ps3 s..and we always have the wii sitting on the shelf.. a customer told me this last night and he has a point " ..if you had a choice of purchasing a xbox 360 or a ps3 with their awesome games and graphics etc then you look at the wii.. with its so so graphics and strange controller(thats what customers call it).. what would you choose? " its like choosing between a ford mustang and the ford pinto.. theres no contest ! you pony up the controller is unique ill give it that but these motion controllers arent that new of an idea.. personally for nex gen systems have the xbox 360 and the ps3 and they are incredible my brother has a wii. and after playing it for a few hours i was saying this is it? it was a letdown i know ill get slammed here but i think nintendo dropped the ball with this one... they could have done so much better.. the wii sold well when it was released because, it was cheaper , and it was an alternative for people who couldnt afford a ps3 or a 360 or couldnt find one in time for christmas...i remember we had 10 wiis left over on christmas eve alone and 2 returned after christmas with the customers asking to be notified when we get more 360s and ps3s in stock it makes you think.. is Nintendo losing its thunder in the home console wars? ...i think so.. i have friends that are hard core nintendo fans and they all laugh at the wii and all say the same thing..its a kiddle system it cant compete with sony and microsoft.. my five year old nephew even said the wii is childish guess what he wants ? a ps3 (smart choice) i asked him why? he said the systems have more power and better games.. pure and simple.. he got his yesterday for his birthday and he loves it...so if a child can see the faults with the wii..why cant the adults gamers? ill admit id like to see the new metroid for the wii and a star wars game with lightsaber action, but thats about it but in fairness the gba sp and the ds (which i love) are still selling really well..so nintendo is doing something right..at least in the handheld market. as for Nintendo making abother console..id like to see something better than the wii..something to truly compete with sony and microsoft not just offering a funky controller thats the real gimmick of the wii even the nintendo fanboys have to admit this.. as for me.. when i play Nintendo...ill stick to my nes, snes, n64 and gamecube...i enjoy these systems a thousand times better than the wii and i know im not alone... if your going to argue..do it smart and not just say ps3+ 360s suck etc..

Good:) now hopefully things will start running smoothly for the ps3

Yeah folks have been talking about that since they announced the price. No way is that not too much to ask for the HD...Then again, you don't really need it, so it's not like it will be forced on anyone and $179.99 won't break the people that would be spending the $$$ on Live to put content on the HD. I've seen folks pay $1,000+ for an Atari cart... Some would call that insane. I'd imagine a person could get much more use out of a 120 gig HD then a copy of Lochjaw. What kills me is this is a win/win for MS. First you have to buy the extra space, then you have to buy the files...from them, to put on it!! LOL *cha-ching* It'll be good for folks that don't own a 360 yet tho.....or crazy folks with too much money. i agree, its insane to spend that much money for just a hard drive ..although the 360 elite is a good idea for somebody that never had a 360.. personally, i dont need a bigger hard drive ..and im not a fan of online gaming so a larger hard drive is a waste for me ..my premium version 360 is more than enough..
