I suggest you take the best advice I've heard so far and just cancel your Gamespot account. Hit them where it really hurts. Cancel your accounts.

That is all.

But paralipsis, all you have to do is look at the history of the Gremlin to see where this video game market is headed. It's so black and white.

I think Walking Contradiction is going to use the failure of the Edsel to make more references to video games - watch him/her go!

@8- QUOTE: "The systems are meant for different consumers. These big business types knew that when they put a Bluray player in the PS3 a made it $600. Same for Nintendo. $250 for old technology."

A better analogy than the car one that you gave would be the Gameboy versus the GameGear and other hi-tech hand helds that came out around that time. The Gameboy was old technology and the more expensive "hardcore" units sold more......


oh wait, that's not what happened.

@1 - QUOTE: "Well of course. You don't compare sells between a Honda Civic and a Dodge Viper. They are in different categories. The same goes for the PS3 and Wii."

Actually, you analogy makes no sense - since when people buy a car - that is end of their purchase - the company makes money off the car. In the case with consoles you need the game makers to make games for your system. More games will be made for the system with more units out in the market.

So in this case - sales do matter.

@ Shagi--

I figured you could afford a DS with all the money Sony's viral marketing department is paying you. How much do you make per post again?

@ #6

But NSMB gameplay is about level design. Hell, even adding deathmatch maps to a FPS gives it something new. Madden 07 is the SAME GAME with an updated roster, slight graphical tweeks and some tacked on extras.

Or, you know, you could by rechargable batteries? Just a thought.

Re: #13

I withdraw my statement.

Hey guys, this is a BLOG. Not a NEWS SITE. Do you really expect someone to do something as simple as read an article. For shame. By definition a blog means sloppy work that no one bothers to check or edit.
