lol, its popular games are the same games gamecube had and n64 had. Go back to the glory days of the SNES, then I'll buy a Wii.

Poor graphics, poor online, and mostly kid-friendly games? No thanks.

MGS is a franchise that should have been one and done. I can be inflammatory too.

LMFAO. MGS has a continuing storyline. Compare that to Zelda, and all I get is feelings of "haven't I been here before?"

How many times can you find the hookshot or the fishing rod and still find it entertaining?

People get tired of Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Samus, etc.

believe it or not.

I didn't say anything about any of those franchises.

MGS1 was cool and original, 2 I fell asleep in the ending after forcing myself to play through, 3 and 4 i'm simply not going to bother with. Much like the Matrix movies, they shoulda been done after the first one. But that money tree is hard to resist.

The only problem I see is that they are catering to the hardcore only 50%, instead of the 100% they used to do.

It has always been liked that with the majority for gamers and minority for something else.

Like during the NES and SNES years it was 70% hardcore and 30% kids.

During the Gamecube era it was 100% hardcore.

But now it's only 50/50 between hardcore and old people.

That's my problem.

There has never been a system made by any company that catered 100% to the hardcore. Don't say ridiculous things.

I agree those titles tend to start a buying frenzy for the respective consoles...

And as sad as it may be I will say Madden and movie themed games always results in a typhoon worth of console sales

Game On...

I have to disagree there. Madden, people can just play those games on their older consoles, and the same is generally true for movie titles. They are always released on 360, PS3, PS2, Wii, DS, and even GBA. Turtles, Spiderman, Transformers, Harry Potter. Pretty sure they all were on all systems. Madden 08 PS2 sales topped every other system combined, unless I remember incorrectly

You have decent points, and indeed Nintendo seems to be the foremost innovator, but you should work on presenting your arguments better.

Final Fantasy, Zelda, Pokemon, Halo. Those are the system sellers that come to mind for me.
