it's the narrow minded gamers who make me sick with rage, always saying the consoles like the wii and the DS are worthless hardware, well....if gaming is to EVER evolve, there does need to be changes...and nintendo for one are very good at this, and changes which are more than just graphics and storage medium upgrades which seems to be the only consistent trends within the last decade. I personally liked some of the gaming innovations like the analog/Thumb stick, Rumble/Shock hardware, trigger buttons, wireless controllers, the wii mote, a touch screen (originally found on PDAs and other devices, but now well executed on the DS), Light weapons (including the enforcer and the snes scope) hell even the mouse and keyboard are great controllers for games. Oh nearly forgot tilt and microphones....they're all great ideas, just if they're not properly used of course they're gonna suckQuadster
WTF???
Wii = Casual Gamers, even Nintendo knows this... Wii Fit?
Well come on. Someone is making a huge profit off of one thing(Nintendo's casuals)someone else always has to try to get a piece of that action. It's just business. I hope the 360 and PS3 don't go in that direction and abandon the people that got them there.\ Oh and I like the PS controller better. But we all have different opinion. Some people like a controller that is like a T.V. remote.Vyse_Legends
Ya sorry should ofsaid IMO, I also own a PS3 as well, just seem to find the 360 a little more ergonomic.
Well it would seem that they are looking at these things. "Seen it" is an example of this, they are interested in trying to get into the casual gamer market. Everyone is because of the Wii's success. Like I said I hope this never happens, I mean I don't even want motion sensing in my games.
I mean this has been a concern of mine and probably many people for a long time. It was even mentioned in the 1Up yours podcast this week. The idea is that Microsoft must change its strategy so that it can compete with the Wii. This means that software and controllers will be changed so that they are more directed and friendly towards casual gamers. If this doesn't happen on the 360, maybe this will happen on the next Xbox. This is exactly what I don't want to happen and I am one who believes that the Wii is possibly going to severely damage the gaming market for the competitive and hardcore gamers that buy Playstations and Xbox's. I love the Xbox 360 controller and I feel it is the best controller ever designed, yet it is not for those who arn't gamers.Why are these companys directing their attention towards non-gamers and forgeting about those of us who are.How can this outcome be stopped?
