Speaking of betrayal...

Which company has made the most redesigns to their consoles and then sold them at a higher price?

Nintendo!

Every single handheld has had multiple iterations.  The lastest is the DS Lite.

Then there's the GameCube. You can now purchase a small white GameCube for $250! Nintendo renamed it to "Wii".

Where are all of the Sheep complaining about these redesigns?

First of all the Wii is not a redesign GC, secondly tell that to the cows and not pick on the sheep. That's really low

I agree. But there seems to be some hypocrisy in this thread. Not only does Nintendo redesign their products often, but they discontinue the earlier designs. The Sheep happily go buy the latest model. The Wii is the epitome of a pure cash-in for Nintendo. The Sheep are elated that Nintendo makes a large profit on each Wii. But when some other company makes a new design, they mock it.Berserker_2

Why bring up Nintendo? Its the Cows that are dissing on the Elite for the most part. gromit007

The DS Lite doesn't cost anymore than the original, so what exactly are you talking about? Even the GBA SP I think stayed at the same price as the original model.REVOLUTIONfreak

In my opinion, worst version of a handheld ever was the micro.....what a useless handheld, no better than the SP....lilrush

The Elite is bad, bad news for cows, that's why.

Think about it.  If Microsoft felt at all threatened by the PS3, they'd be implementing a price drop.  Instead, they feel so confident that they're effectively initiating a price increase.  They know that Sony isn't really serious about shipping the $500 PS3, so the Elite doesn't really have competition at its price point.

In short, the Xbox 360 Elite says louder than words that Microsoft thinks that PS3 is doomed, so they don't have to take it seriously.

They bundle games with the console...like awhile they had project gotham, and the have doom 3 now or something...? Iuno it's always changing, I usually never like what they bundle, Id rather a price drop and I buy the games I want.

Then those sheep are being hypocritical.  That's no reason for making a blanket statement like"Sheep are hypocritical", even in summary.  Got to keep those qualifiers in.  "Sheep have no room to talk about the Elite" would be a good one.

I haven't looked in the other thread but honestly there isn't really any Elite-bashing to speak of in here.

Nintendo!

 

Every single handheld has had multiple iterations.  The lastest is the DS Lite.

Then there's the GameCube. You can now purchase a small white GameCube for $250! Nintendo renamed it to "Wii".

 

Where are all of the Sheep complaining about these redesigns?

Berserker_2

PS1-redesigned

PS2-redesigned

PSP-Soon to be redesigned

Well, naturally companies redesign succsessful products because there, well succsessful.

I don't know what there is to complain about.

And by your logic the PS3 is a redesigned PS2 and the same with the 360/Xbox

Wii has: Wi-Fi gaming, Internet access, Weather,News, MP3 Playback, Video playback and editing, Photo editing, Messaging, Text Messaging, Bluetooth Wireless Motion Sensitive Controllers, 2 times the power of the GameCube, 480p ED, Exclusive franchise such as: Resident Evil UC, Mario titles, Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, DRAGON QUEST

GameCube had: Umm, Nintendo franchises,.... Wireless Wavebird controller.

The Wii is very different from the GC. If you weren't a fanboy and owned both the consoles you'd understand this.

If you're not used to companies repackaging older updated products with better features than well,... don't you understand the terms "last-gen" and "next-gen"?

Agreed, I was just saying that I think that more Elites will go to new customers than to upgraders. But the ones that do go to upgraders quite frequently will cause the old system to enter the market as used, expanding the userbase. Nintendo's been using this trick for years, because it gets results. Microsoft is making a good move with the Elite.

[QUOTE="gromit007"]Why bring up Nintendo? Its the Cows that are dissing on the Elite for the most part. ArisShadows

The simple truth about the Wii is that it was born from a slimmer GameCube. The Xbox 360 was coming years earlier than expected and Nintendo panicked. They were in the middle of a GameCube iteration and decided to pass it off as a new console. How do I know this? The CPU is an over-clocked Gekko. It is the very same CPU. No console is history shared the same CPU as it's predecessor. The size of the Wii is another indication. If it used all new parts, they would be much larger, but instead they took the existing GameCube design, and shrunk it.Berserker_2

That doesn't make any sense.  Nintendo would never have designed a slimline GameCube product, because GameCube was not a market success.  Wii is built from a similar technology base as the one GameCube used, but it's an entirely new product from a design standpoint, which is what matters to consumers in the end anyway.  People don't want hardware, they want the features and capabilities that said hardware provides.

And the TurboGrafx 16 used the same CPU as the NES.  So there :P
