Damn. with Ninty pulling out and MS changing positions, Sony is the only one...

working the middle....with hardcore devotion and games!(now get your minds out the gutter!) it seems sony is going to be the one to carry us from this gen, into the next successfully.

Opinion? Discuss........

Nintendo and Sony will probably lead the way.

Looks like I won't be buying WiiU anymore, so I agree.

Um... How is Ninty pulling out?

And MS isn't changing positions...

Nintendo can't be the ones pulling out when they're the ones furthest ahead.

did you even think before you made that topic title???????? "Ninty pulling out" "MS changing positions"?????? LOLz

Sony is indeed the only one that's in the "middle" and has been very consistant in 3 vital criterias:

1. strong 3rd party support
2. strong exclusives
3. catering to the hardcore market

Despite promoting the Move, Sony is still in the same (consistant) position for 17 years in promoting for the hardcore market. Move is an option and FAR LESS concentrated on. Unlike Nintendo and MS where they're pushing their Motion Sensing to the masses.

see the main focus has gone from pushing out core games in favor of pushing out games for kinect. Gamers that dont have/want kinect are left with slim pickins so to speak. instead of putting the primar focus on the add on like MS is doing, their primary focus is still on the hardcore market, while still bringing out games and supporting the move.slvrraven9

Nintendo is trying to be Hardcore

MS is turning causal

And Sony is staying the same

[QUOTE="slvrraven9"][QUOTE="MajorPain10"] As of right now you are wrong, as Nintendo is the only one concerned in carrying us into the next generation. The Wii U may not have a "next-gen" graphical prowess but will definitely introduce us to a next-gen experience.MajorPain10

Well, in the wii's case....this last year and a half is going to be pretty bare of support aside from shovelware. understandable why because they wanna focus on the next gen...but for current wii owners, well, better start catching up on games you hadnt played yet.

[QUOTE="M1KES"][QUOTE="UCF_Knight"] ...huh? Microsoft is doing the same thing with Kinect as Sony is doing with Move. Developing the same games as usual, and implementing those controls for whoever feels like using them. It's not like Microsoft has replaced Gears, Halo, and Forza with mini game collections. All those games are still coming this year, just as they would have if Kinect never existed. I have no idea where you're going with this.KC_Hokie

I totally agree.

Sony just has more games that are high quality games for the hardcore that aren't killer apps like COD, Gears and Halo. I mean, Uncharted is a popular series, but it is nowhere NEAR Halo or Gears in terms of appeal to the casual core gamer (the people who buy consoles for COD and Halo and Madden). It just seems like the games that are on Sony systems aren't developed to be cash cows, they are developed to be good games. Maybe it is because most of their big games are single player focused. Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper, Crash Bandicoot, Killzone (this one is the only one that might be pushing into the same category as COD and Halo), God of War, Uncharted, Infamous, Yakuza, Team Ico games, etc... The list goes on.

As a PC only gamer (for now) I can say that Sony is the most traditional game company and console manufacturer. In the past it was all about the games, and now with M$ and Nintendo, they seem to be focusing on hardware. This may change with the WiiU, but we don't know for sure.

... LOL. I love this thread right now. No disagreements or agreements here, just hilarity for the title and OP. :lol:

Wait... what is "hardcore" about Sony's offerings? Lol. And what is Nintendo "pulling out" of? They are trying to push the console market forwards and keep it from stagnating.foxhound_fox

next gen will be wierd....espeically MS and Ninty

lol microsoft will never lead and saying sony is the only 1 leading i dont think so ,

what has sony brought to the table other then multiple formats to store games huh dont say analog-n64 had it first

motion-wii /nes had them first

ya get your head out of the gutter

as far as sony goes only time well tell but wii u will be succesful,

cause its the only one on the market for some time far then enough time , to be honest i think sony and ms are letting nintnedo go ,

they really see no reason to fight them

and i think thats how it should be , cause after all nintendos main industry is the games industry ,,

sony and ms have other markets to fall back on

but since you brought it up i tihnk next gen will be bad for microsoft

due to the following factors

1 third console curse

2 -- reliablity has to be questioned

3 price , we all know how much darn expensive ps3 was which is why sony is pulling a wiiu card out of its sleeve-only slightly more powerful then a ps3 not all crazy at all , putting them in a good 350 range , -same for nintendo could be less but ya

microsoft we dont know what they want

if they go for power again , well have fun, cause we all know exactly what happens to the most powerful unit on shelves---struggles at launch

more expensive for developers and consumers

and by the end of the gen ms will be lucky to make profit , , cause guess what japan already doesnt like 360 that much

the usa wont either if it costs 600-700 dollars

im sorry remember ps3

and what really bothers me is microsoft dont get more first party titles they will be in even more trouble

the reason 360 succeeded was because at the start they had good amount of first party titles

but that has changed

-they went from having

[QUOTE="slvrraven9"][QUOTE="UCF_Knight"]Wait, what is Microsoft doing?UCF_Knight

Kameo 2 and Perfect Dark Core were scrapped so Rare could work on kinect sports. Which would you rather have?

lol microsoft will never lead and saying sony is the only 1 leading i dont think so, in the games department at this point sony is offering MUCH more than MS and ninty are.

what has sony brought to the table other then multiple formats to store games huh dont say analog-n64 had it first WHAT? what does that have to do with my op? if you dont understand just say so and i would gladly break it down.....like its been done already this thread.

motion-wii /nes had them first again, WHAT?

ya get your head out of the gutter didnt get the sexual inuendos eh?

as far as sony goes only time well tell but wii u will be succesful, WHAT?

cause its the only one on the market for some time far then enough time , to be honest i think sony and ms are letting nintnedo go , ok......im done. i officially dont understand where your logic of thinking comes from in reference to my OP and thats after ive gone back and reread it a few times...

they really see no reason to fight them

Sesame street. That is all.

[QUOTE="slvrraven9"][QUOTE="UCF_Knight"]Wait, what is Microsoft doing?Sgt_Crow

Still, it'd be nice if they focused on making more games that would cater to the hardcore players. Instead they'd prefer to make a game about Sesame Street.

Really? Go watch the Microsoft E3 press conference :lol:

Nintendo is facing a huge Hardcore Fan Backlash with their little Announcement they made earlier (only for NOA), Sony has had a critical Backlash too with Internet Secerity, and Microsoft can't seem to understand who is their fanbase anymore.

Gaming in America. Yeah!......

I disagree, I think all three have decided to focus on both markets, with Sony having always aimed for both, MS now skewing more towards casual and Nintendo now skewing more towards hardcore.

But Nintendo are the ones with the best vision thus far for me.
