GX was a great game it just had a great sense of speed as did all the F-zero games. The Wipeouts have always felt sluggish to me no sense of speed at all in them. In the end though the reality is GX didn't even sell a million copies worldwide and that is why you haven't seen anything else since.

It just seems that Nintendo doesn't like to keep a lot of IP's that are marketed towards an older crowd, obviously I am not the only one to make this case. I have no problem with Mario being an E title or Kirby or DK etc... but why everything and I'm not asking for gore and sex filled M titles either. I don't know if they're strategy is keeping up a family friendly image or they think games rated E will sell more because both kids and adults will play them or a combo of the two.

Miyamoto probably disliked GX 1 because of sales and 2 because it had a teen rating. They just won't any of their IP's mature other than Metroid. Zelda TP was rated T, opps that's pushing it, so Skyward Sword is an E game same story with Fire Emblem. I also feel Star Fox started life with a little more gritty tone than other Nintendo IP's and ever since then it has been cartoony and goofy.

Can't be much at all as I have a slow 1 mbps DSL connection and I never have lag and also have no problem when tons of voice chatting is going on.

One Must Fall 2097 in my opinion the only fighter ever worth mentioning for PC.

Full Throttle I'm not a big point and click adventure fan, but I loved this game.

Then the usual FPS's Dooms, Wolfentein, Star Wars Dark Forces, Catacombs.

It can actually benefit a company to sell more system later down the road IE Sony as they now sell PS3's at a profit. The real question is will the late adopters purchase software, because that is where the real bread and butter is. This is also the problem Nintendo faced with the Wii sold tons of hardware at a profit from the start, but at this point its software sales are behind both the PS3 and Xbox360 respectively. Now Nintendo is forced to start the next generation early, which historically doesn't end well; Dreamcast, TG-16, Jaguar, 3D0. Though the aforementioned systems' manufactures really couldn't lend the support that Nintendo can to it next system, so well see. Even though Nintendo is forced early into the the next gen Sony is look to be entering it cash-strapped. Both Sony and Nintendo in my opinion are on shaky ground next gen, but at least they don't have the deck stacked against them releasing early and out of money.

To quote Adam Oxford of PC Gamer

"Before we get too excited, though, a lot of the money that's being talked about isn't from retail sales or even digital downloads – PC gaming in the traditional sense is not going to be a bigger market than all the consoles combined any time soon. Rather it's a reflection of booming growth in free-to-play models and microtransactions for Facebook games et al – which won't sell many graphics cards."

As interesting as these figures are, the reality is Core gaming is still very much in the hands of consoles. Though things are changing and like someone mentioned before, the line between consoles and PC have blurred this generation.

I'd also like to know who thinks building a PC is any easier today than it was 10-15 years ago? With the replacement of ISA with PCI and then Windows 95 PnP became king as did hold your hand OS installations. Then a few years later as online shopping caught on we abandoned computer stores and mail order catalogs. Since the late 90's and most definitely by 2000 building or upgrading a PC was pretty damn easy.

Atari 2600

XBOX

• Halo 1-2

Obviously the Burnouts are multiplate, but I don't care which system I play them on, they are just damn fun. If I had more time there are a lot of Adventure and RPG's I'd love the replay on all these systems.

Did anyone even read the original post? All I keep seeing is people mentioning 3rd party games.

This makes me laugh ever see the price of a SDXC card? It is also not like Blu-Ray is stuck at 2x speeds it is capable of 12x which is around 400Mbps the same as SDXC cards (not that the next systems would receive a 12x drive)

Plus how large are next gen games going to be we've got 20+gig PS3 games running around already, so you can already add to that number a decent amount. I wouldn't want to pay for all the memory every time I purchased a game and I sure as hell wouldn't want to download it.

At 1st I was thinking MS because of Halo 1-2

Then I said naaaaa GC had MP 1-2, F-Zero, Zelda.

Then I though about the PS2

• God of War 1-2
• Ico, Shadow the the Colossus
• GT 3-4, Tourist Trophy
• Jak Series
• Twisted Metal Black
• SOCOM
• Ratchet & Clank (It is hard to say what Insomniac was until recently kind of a 2nd, but technically a 3rd party at least now)
• Sly Series
• MLB Series (not really my thing, but I know a lot of people that like them.)

I didn't even think this at first, but I have to give it to Sony.

I'd also like to point out that despite Sony's woes, it isn't like the PS3 has sold like crap. The PS3 has sold over 60 million units in 5 years, the ps1 is credited with selling extremely well and it sold a little over 100 million units from Dec. 94' to March 07' and the ps2 sold 153 million from March 00' to present. Personally I don't see it surpassing PS2 sales, but I do see it selling more than the ps1. Also remember these sales have all taken place during a worldwide economic downturn.

Though I do think Sony may be in trouble with the PS Vita, not that is has had horrendous sales numbers, but it is a different world for handhelds. Smart phones are a huge competitor and they are in a lot of the population's pockets. Compound that with the fact that the 3DS sells for significantly less and although it really can't match the Vita graphically it does have an ace up its sleeve; 3D something that isn't found on the Vita or smart phones.
