@EnglishTurtle for me its the opposite, i have big hands, i cant hold.. let alone play, a psp for longer then 30 mins b4 my hands start to cramp up, (hurts bad, and i really wanna play persona 3 portable)
I have been living here in Japan for about 2 years now. I don't know what ya'll are reading but the XBOX 360 if far from dead, Not so popular, but still here. I just bought the Resident Evil 5 Version last week in fact. Lovin it!
You don't need a mic to enjoy online. Have you ever played with a bunch of twelve year olds online on Halo? With all the prepubescent voices naming cuss words that don't makes sense with each other? A microphone will be coming for the wii upon the release of the new Animal Crossing, but I don't know how many people would bother to get one, and who for that matter.
Games do not need mics, and shouldn't rely on online to entertain the player.
This is a discussion using opinions, not facts. There are no facts you can use to show that a console can be more enjoyable than another. That's up to the person.
Hmm? Then would you give an example? Facts don't hinder enjoyment, but they can changed expectations, which might make you think you're not enjoying it.
Aye it all boils down to opinion among other things. Honest truth you can't even judge which console is "better" based on the sales either. Its going to sound stupid but hear me out. What I mean is Sales don't always equal the "better" system, it only shows better marketing of the company, and how many people bought into the hype. No matter what people will always play the games they prefer, in which there are no wrong decisions
The sadder truth is that no matter how good a company is at making games, they can still fall. That is why the Dreamcast was shut out, and Sega stopped making systems. If sales were determined solely on how great the games were, than the Wii would still be on top followed by PS3, than 360.
It's a good thing Nintendo is winning the War with sales, because if they stopped, I'd probably stop playing games as every shooter on the Playstation consoles would be more boring than the next. My opinion
I'll admit I'm not too impressed with the Wii, but to be fair I've not really had a chance to play one. And the one time I did the console was malfunctioning due to the person not taking care of it. As for PS3 or 360, I don't have a 360 and I'm happy with my Ps3 at the moment. but yeah like I said everyone has their own personal opinion, and preference and I respect that :)
My first console of this generation was the Wii a year and a half ago. And six months ago my brother got us the PS3. I don't own a 360, but I have the chance to play it quite often at a friends house. Some good games, but not much that aren't on the PS3.
I've enjoyed my Wii much more than the PS3 this whole time up until I got MGS4, and the two most recent COD games. I haven't gotten a new Wii game in months and only have some VC games to play. I've been playing PS3 a lot more recently.
Yes, everybody has opinions. And mine pretty much has changed until I'm bored with COD. Metal Gear Solid 4 is amazingly good. The Wii doesn't have many games coming for it besides a new House of the Dead, and a new Punch-Out. We might also pick up the new Dead Rising port for the Wii just because we were never able to get the game. I don't really know what's coming for the PS3 either.
I was like that when I got the Wii on release and eventually bought a 360 a day after Halo 3's release. It's not that the Wii is a bad console it's just blatantly obvious that the Wii is aimed at younger kids. I'm assuming your a teenager if not older and it was only a matter of time til' you began craving games aimed more at a mature audience. Lol, but even with my now hacked Wii and the the ability to download and burn any Wii game I want, I still prefer my un-hacked Xbox 360 overall.
The Wii is aimed at families. A point proven by Nintendo themselves. They know that if they get kids into Mario, they'll continue to buy Mario for years to come. It's a marketing technique, I just wish they spend more time making first party titles and not crappy Wiiware titles every week. They're getting new gamers, but losing the old ones. And the worst part is, I have the idea that they know this, and don't care because of how much they'll make in the future.
Oh, and the Wii having mostly kiddy games is bullshite. There's a difference between a game for young kids, and game that has colors like red blue and yellow somewhere in it.
I think we all know that their well aware of the fact that their scaring all their core fans away. They've always been for the core, all the way up the Gamecube at least. I to, wish they supplied more for their core fans while also appealing to a new audience. But so far, what their doing has proven to be very successful. I just hope their next home console while up to par with Microsoft's and Sony's consoles, gaming and hardware wise. But for now their just for the kiddies...and old folks. -_-
There's still time to atone for the Wii's sins if that's what you're worried about. We have two more Mario games on the way as well as an awesome looking Metroid that will take the series in a new direction like in the Prime games. But as far as the "core" games, I really don't mind another Mario or metroid. But goddamnit, where is our Starfox where we point where to shoot? Where's our next Kirby game? Where's an awesome new Kid Icarus that utilizes motion control for bow and swords?
nobody buys that crap in japan. They sold less of those systems in japan than nintendo sold game boy micros in the US. And so far I have never seen a person with a gameboy micro in real life. So that means 360 is really selling terribly in japan.
I read it somewhere(cant remember what website) buts its becuase the PS3 has a lot of RPG's and other stuff. They think the 360 has to much violent gun games that have no reason for fighting. Hardly any of them have a reason fot it.
the japanese prefer rpgs, and games with story, while americans like games where mindless shit blowing up, which is basically what the 360 is all about (your 360 will blow up in the process too)
lol actually the xbox has some of the best selling rpgs outside of japan, the ps3 has more jrpgs which is what they like, but the ps3 has mindless blowing shit up games 2.......I mean the playstation practically owned GTA anyway think before you give your opinion
games like Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Halo, Fallout 3, KOTOR and many other WESTERN RPGs have WAY more story that JRPGS like Final Fantasy where the main character looks like a fag all the time
they don't hate the 360, it's just that the ps2, ps3, and psp have the games they play. like the anime games u can't get in america. also the ps3 was made by sony, which was made in japan. the 360 was made in the US so they would rather pay to their friends and family who work at sony.
Japanese only want Japanese stuff, that's prob why. Like, the Xbox is doing great in the states, but over in Japan, it's not so good. Same with PS3, doing good in Japan, not so good in the USA
Well FFXI has already been released on the Xbox 360. But as for the 2 games that Sqaure Enix announced, they are Infinite Undiscovery and The Last Ramnent. As of now, there are no FF games that are comming to the Xbox 360. But I believe that SE will release a FF game on the Xbox 360 some time in the future.
bit late on the comments to yell at racing but yes nintendo did have its failures, naming neogeo virtual boy a lot of people werent crazy about gamecube and game boy micro or play it loud gameboy
I myself am no longer concerned with the console wars. I used to be a nintendog. Then I also joined the playstation cult. I didn't trust Xbox cuz it was Microsoft, but now, since I got a 360 for my birfday, I'm not gonna take sides. Playstation lies to us with hawtness graphics that are really just cut scenes, but most square-enix RPGs will be on PS3, so lets all just mourn the losses of the ill-fated Sega Consoles
Hhaah,hope you enjoy paying $600 on a system, idiot. ^_^ (Then of course once it breaks, you'd have to pay it again, and don't tell me it wont. Every early Playstation console so far has had problems. I don't expect any different from thsi.)
howcome i never recall nintendo having some big failure when they release a system... because they research the easiest way to get out of a hard situation... Nintendo cares about gamers, not some over rated sh*t that will cost us an arm and a leg... thank you Nintendo... simplicity at the finest...
