Tough!

Both had somefantastic games and franchises.

I personally think that Sonic & Knuckles, Shining Force 2 and Phantasy Star 4 are amongst the best the 16-bit had to offer.

[QUOTE="rhaigun"]Capcom has said all of their futue games will be multiplat. This is old news.gromit007

Except, of course, for all the Wii exclusives.

Yes, I can't wait for Chun-Li vs. Cooking Mama :roll:

What TERRIBLE scores...

What the hell are they going to give WiiFit ? 10's all round ? :roll:

[QUOTE="Meu2k7"]What of the Disc Reading problems? I just completed legendary with a friend, and I didnt get the achievments because I had the disk error on a cutscene X_x ... I had to do it again ffs!omgimba

You wouldn't be saying that if you owned a 360...

Achievements are completely useless, we're aware, but they are to us what Hi-Score's were to gamers in the 80's. It's nice to know you've accomplished something in the game you're playing.

Although its only just about 5000 in sales, a 300% increse, regardless, is fantastic.

I wonder if Halo 3 will be in the Top 10 games next week...

I like Mario games, and welcome them (with the provision theyre good...).

The thing I DON'T like are the spinoffs: Mario Tennis/Soccer etc, Wario, Luigi, etc etc... Nintendo games are good fun and of great quality, but their diversity leaves alot to be desired.

If you want to b*tch about milkage, just look at Square...

My concern is that Nintendo has used up all its "franchises" within the first year with Zelda, Mario and Metroid all come to the table before 2007 is done, but with some of the casual traps like Wii Fit it could keep it sustained for a while.

I thought that too, but it's a first for Nintendo to bring out all their main franchises in the space of a year, let alone within the year of a console launch!

I wouldn't imply at all that the Wii is just going to stop selling by the way, but like everything else on the market it will plateu - question is when and at what level of sales ?

The Wii manages to sell between 110,000 and 85,00 consoles per month in the U.S., but I think by this time next year sales will stall at around 40,00 to 60,000 per month: still a great amount, and still more than double of what the PS3 sells at this point in time.

As for innovation, with the DS ? Definately, the Touch Screen has gone from a novelty to a viable gameplay element and as a result it not only sells like hotcakes, but has resulted in some great games (I, myself, have one, but I never have the time to play it!).

As for the Wii and innovation... not really. The motion sensing technology is a wondful idea in theory, but I think it shouldve only been implemented as an option to complement standard controls (Yes, I am aware the PS3's controller would be the closet thing to an example for this, but it was executed very badly).
