Yeah, I read that on GAF. Its a joke.

They tried to make it sound like Sony and MS were struggling since they had press conferences in smaller places than last year.

The same Washington Post that said Microsoft is purposely making consoles break, and the same Washington Post that said Sony would go out of business by the end of 2006?

That Washington Post?

*sigh* I said it since the Wii sales took off. If it continues to grow god help us. But I've heard from a few casuals who are wii owners that they have been getting bored. They doesnt mean sales will plummet but they will probably slow down and make probably like 30 million more than the cube.

The casuals have always been the most populated demographic. You do remember the article fromNPD stating that ony approximately 2% of the gaming community is 'hardcore', right?

This goes beyond "casuals". Casuals play GTA and Halo and Madden.

This is about non-gamers, which is worse than casuals.

When you dig into all that was announced, there was a good deal put out twords casuals AND hardcores, just 2 things were disapointing. One: 50 minues literally of just sales talk, and two: a major blind spot now on if super smash will even have online :(

Some non-gamers become casuals.

Some casuals become hardcore.

Whats wrong with that?

G4 said it was MS that was last place because Nintendo gave the most news overall......But they said Sony was the best which I agree with

That seals it.

I'm not coming here anymore, No More IGN, even Joystiq, Gametrailers, etc. HELL, I'm cancelling my subscription to Play, GI, EGM, PSM, and OXM.

Washington Post has proved they are the only reviewers that matter.

NINTENDO WON E3 and EVERYONE knows it!

Nothings wrong with the Converts. What's wrong is the word SOME. The rest will just continue to buy The New Toaster Game for Wii, Brain Games for Wii, and those are the ones with the money.

Everyone starts as a noob and has to grow into a pro. You make games that are completely noob unfriendly, you scare off any market growth. That's the basis in simpler terms...
