2007 may have been one of the best years of gaming for some, but for me I wasn't too impressed. Mostly because of the number of delays that took place for anticipated games that are now arriving in either this current year or early 2009.

It's understandable that the costs of development has risen exponentially this gen, which likely results in delays, cancellations or porting. Even so, there are expectations to be kept for us consumers/gamers and this past year was not without it's mistakes.

The big 3 aren't excused from this either, there were faults to be found from Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony. So as we get into this new year, I created this thread just to see if there were any do's/don't you could think of that devs/manufacturers should take notice of that could make this year either better or as good as 2007.

Sony: keep doing what you're doing...It finally appears to be working.

Microsoft: Get your hardware straightened out. I've seen too many friend's 360s die an early death due to your carelessness.

...and fix whatever happened to live, or don't expect people to keep paying.

Nintendo: Get Fire Emblem for the DS out there, and I'll finally buy one. :P

developers/publishers in general: make your games longer, and don't show off your games so early if you're just going to end up delaying them.

MS:

Make online free. Reduce price of the console, because for the mediocre graphics and games, it is way overpriced.

Sony:

Make games.

Nintendo:

Sneak into my house at night and beef up my Wii with cutting edge graphics technology.

Thanks!

To Sony: Start doing what made you people great in the first place. Drop some cash on those developers for some exclusivity deals. To Nintendo: Start being an example to third party developers and promote better third party games. Quality control much? To Microsoft: Fix your dang systems. To Devs: You people freaking rock. heart for bringing back Alone in the Dark, Silent Hill, Tales of, etc!

I see commercials all the time for the Wii. Those asian guys with the teeny car that go around and say Wii want to play.

Sony: Drop the price of the ps3 and secure more exclusives.

Microsoft: for the love of god please fix the RROD epidemic

Nintendo: Start securing better relationships with third party developers.

Make it so they can take the wii seriously despite it's graphical shortcomings.
