Nintendo, really don't know what to say! If your gonna rip off a controller design, at least put the buttons in the right damn place. But on the other hand they finally have a controller. I'd feel better about the system if it came with the pro pad instead of the tablet. And what about launch titles! Where are they and what are they! Does anybody know!
@baconater87 SOMEWHAT TRUE, but early development of core designs suggested that MS helped them, remember they did do their online support which for the time Dreamcast online was great. I'm a Sega fan so I see the comparison and copy as well but you can't fault MS for going with a great design. Only hardcore gamers realize the true potential that the Dreamcast had. So I applaud you my friend for recognizing a great system that died before its time!
This is dumb! The last time I checked, real hardcore gamers don't give a crap about all these BS features that most people already have. I buy consoles to play games, PERIOD! I own computers,blu-ray/dvd, satelite TV and my wife works for Apple. So I get every damn Apple product thats available. Competing with all these forms of entertainment is not necessary . GREAT GAMES SELL SYSTEMS! If your not a real hardcore gamer,then you shouldn't invest into gaming. Its like why buy a bowling ball if you never bowl! Its pointless. Things like this is whats killing the gaming industry. I'm not impressed or intrigued at all that when I turn on my Xbox I see netflix and vudu on my screen. Give me what I bought the damn system for, GAMES! Good Games! That make me wanna play. Give me something fresh and new. Microsoft depends on HALO too much. NO, there just smart! Why wouldn't you keep a franchise going that has broken so many records in sales. People still camp outside and all day long for HALO. They'd be stupid to drop HALO! Especially since Sony and Nintendo haven't put out a 1st party title that can truly compete with Halos' success. DO THE RESEARCH, Xbox had the least amount of 1st party titles last year and they still beat Sony and Nintendo! That says a lot! Halo, Gears, Fable they all have such a following they can milk these things for another ten years easily! Look at the poor WWE series or the unchanged Madden series, yet they both make record sells every year. True I want new titles and a new experience, but we can't expect them to drop whats popular and whats selling! Think about it! Would Nintendo ever make a system without MARIO! HELL NO! Its no different. These are mascots and flagships for these companies. I bought my 1st Xbox on launch day back in 2005 for what, HALO! And I'm not the only one. If Sony and Nintendo could have HALO, They'd sell their souls to get their hands on it. The next generation of consoles only need to do one thing to be successful! MAKE GREAT GAMES! Whoever makes the best ,funnest experience available will win. Bottom line! And if Sony or Nintendo doesn't improve their online experience ,they've already lost. Sony online is so -BORING-, not fun at all. I've tried to give'em a honest chance and its like once you play Xbox live and play PSN. Its a joke! I don't know how people enjoy PSN. Its definitely outclassed by Xbox Live. And the Wii is even worse!
Call of Duty is for children , Battlefield 3 is a mans game! Take your BS killstreaks and awfully hacked game somewhere else! Battlefield will always be number 1!
