--AND ALSO(i am not kidding) a 50$ amazon card
--all for
--250$ ! (i swear it was supposed to be 280$+tax)
--but my credit card only ever got charged like 248$

--i did the math
--they basically paid me to take the damn thing
--my point is
--these deals are gonna get better and better on the original xb1

--man
--i mean you havent gotta be a business analyst
--to do the math here
--xb1 not selling worth a turd
--so
--lets making a smaller one(with a bigger hard drive)
--and sell it for almost double what an xb1 costs??

@bbq_R0ADK1LL:
--"game play and fun"
--you missed the "fun" part
--and the game does have a SLIGHT bit of gameplay(it IS a 'game')
--nintendo has a history of producing POPULAR games on less powerful machines
--pokemongo just goes even the EXTRA EXTRA mile
--to prove graphics are not what makes the best gaming

@raj710:
--first she isn't fat AT ALL
--and i know this is the internet
--but
--why say mean things?
--it can really hurt someones feeling and self esteem(though im sure she isn't hurt by you)
--like
--that ugly spot in your mom's secret hole
--that your jackass looking face fell out of
--as satan laughed and said
--"well this one isnt worth wasting my time with"

--it isnt the game 'itself' that matters
--it is the 'influence' the game is having(which is reaching 'singularity' levels of growth~not literally)
--on not only the gaming world
--but the ENTIRE world(literally)
--nintendo ONCE AGAIN proves gaming is not about the graphics
--but about game-play(fun)
--and human interaction

--ha
--say what you will
--keep the pokemongo news a comin(vs the same ole same ole about DLC packs for games thjat havent released~and such)
--shit is always INSANE
--and blowing my mind

@Flyin3lvl:
--yea
--we should be pals here on GS
--i followed you
--you should follow me back
--we could have tons on here of fun over the years

@donderpants:

--I mean 'literally'?
--the game was supposed to save wiiU
--I study gaming sales(IDK it is just a BAD habit really)
--I watched wiiU sales weekly from the get go
--there was a SOLID boost in sales around the Christmas that smash came out
--and a reasonable boost when MK8 came out(it was looking good)
--but like I said
--it was a 1-2 hit punch(to catapult wiiU sales)
--and they did drop the price of wiiU around this time also(ha I think It was the only time they dropped the price)
--but by the next summer wiiU sales had become almost nothing
--I mean
--obviously the main problem with their plan
--was that they did this all at the EXACT same that xb1/ps4 came out ha
--hindsight is 20/20
--but the simple fact is that xb1/ps4 were just A LOT more interesting to WELL over the majority of console gamers

--success and failure can be subjective
--but at the end of the day
--smash didn't sell wiiUs(which was its purpose)
--or even help 'get the ball rolling'(wiiU sales basically came to a halt within months of smash's release)
--and it just hasn't sold all that well
--the fancy exclusives controllers are ALL OVER the internet for like 20$
--and the game is one of the least valuable wiiU AAA titles(they STILL have new copies at gamespot.com)

@Flyin3lvl:

--they will have to answer nintedo's move
--there is just too much money to be made(17 billion$+ ? In less than 2 weeks~that is sony's ENTIRE net worth)
--i wouldn't be surprised if both xb and ps blatantly rip pokemon off
--using the same format
--and just different monsters
--but

--whatever they put out
--you best believe they will be dropping some crappy apps
--they basically have to
--unless they are stupid
--i hope they dont
--and would focus mainly on hardcore console AAAs
--but look at the 'motion' frenzy nintendo started with wii
--and then look at kinect and move
--if you wanna know what the future holds
--look at the past
