Given the many continuity gaffes and contradictions, virtually every X-Men movie seems to exist in its own universe apart from the others. You've got the original X-Men universe of X-Men, the uber-crappy universe of X-Men 2 and X-Men 3, the uber-crappy prequel universe of Origins: Wolvie, the alternate prequel universe of First Class, the alternate future universe of Future Past, another alternate past with comic-book time where 20 years have passed in the world, but the characters have only aged about four since First Class for Apocalypse, the surprisingly solid universe of The Wolverine, and their best one: the "we're so embarrassed of the X-Men universes that we're going to pretend we're part of the MCU instead" Deadpool universe.

@theuncannyone: I've heard that the launch window is somewhere in between New Year's Day 2017 and the following New Year's Eve. Hope that narrows it down for ya.

I am interested in Project Scorpio. I am much less interested in nothing stories like this one that do not tell us anything new.

I believe that Milla's pregnancy improved the movie. I mean, pregnancy makes her boobs bigger, right?

Anderson can be a decent visual director when he wants to be, though he's hopeless as a screenwriter. RE 2 and 3 were so abysmal because he wrote, but didn't direct those, resulting in the worst of both worlds.

@tonkinese: If you are looking to Gamespot for your "journalism", you're probably sabotaging your own search. Gamespot is an entertainment site, and "entertainment journalism" has always been an oxymoron.

@rodoxthedark: Nintendo of America is a sales operation. Reggie is a salesman. He doesn't control what products Japan gives him to sell, but anything he says should be taken much like any other sales pitch: total B.S. Seriously, what do you expect him to say?

Somebody seriously needs to proof this copy. Mistakes abound. Has GameSpot no editors?

@whatsazerg:

-NES was less powerful than Sega Master System (but came out earlier)

-SNES was more powerful than Genesis but less powerful than Neo Geo

-Nintendo 64 was more powerful than either the Saturn or PlayStation

-Gamecube was much more powerful than PS2, but slightly less powerful than Xbox

-Wii was substantially less powerful than PS3 and Xbox 360

-WiiU was substantially less powerful than PS4 and Xbox One

-Switch will probably still be less powerful than PS4 and Xbox One, certainly less than PS4Pro or Scorpio

The other relevant point is that the most powerful console rarely "wins" the cycle in terms of total sales.

In terms of sales, though, Nintendo has a disturbing trend. SNES sold less than NES. N64 sold less than SNES. GC sold less than N64. Wii sold a ton! But WiiU brought the downward trend back, selling even less than GC. Switch? We'll see.
