Its kind of bad that Sony doesn't have Gran Turismo or God of War or Metal Gear Solid ready to go at the end of the first year. Not a single killer app even though two of those games were announced at E3 2005. Then Blu-ray lost a killer app with Transformers jumping over to HD-DVD. A lot of bungling. The high price point in comparison to the competition isn't helping anything either.

Sony has lost format wars before, Betamax and VHS. All because of not supporting porn. Will this change?

Sony does very will with formats that they share technology and development with others, like the CD. Blu-ray is more like that than Betamax.

I'm still waiting for tango's chinese HD-DVD player news to come true. Or the fact that he once said that the inclusion of Casino Royale in European PS3's was skewing Nielsen Videoscan Bluray sales data. The latter was my all-time favorite Tango moment.

I'm baffled how anyone can say that PS1 did not define it's generation.

2. casey changed the rules from hardware sales dictating the #1 of a generation to how many games come out for a console as the measure... dumb.

I think it was always this way and that's the point he tried to make. This is why he stated the PC won last generation and not the PS2.

[QUOTE="ramey70"]So you are okay with the Wii being declared the winner with a bunch of kid and party games? Lilac_Benjie

Wii has family friendly games, party games, mini games, adult games, mature games, and everything else.

But they aren't the focus of the machine. I have one, and I like it. But that doesn't keep me from calling a spade a spade.

The Wii is not a spade. It's a console that appeals to everyone. It has something of everything.

A jack of all trades is a master of none.

Your just talking out of your ass now. You cannot apply wisdom that applies to human profession to the videogame industry.

Back on topic, high Nintendo Wii sales means that third parties from all genres will want to develop on the Wii.

You are probably correct. The Wii is definitely a master of kiddy games.

A game console could not sell because of its price tag (PS3) but hows that to say its not better than the other consoles?

maybe that's because he bans you for disagreeing with him....;)

I am a volunteer moderater of a message board for University of Texas Longhorn athletics (hornfans.com), and I've never quite understood why so many people question moderation.

i usually don't question equitable moderation, but as as hermit Casey if faaaaaar from objective...

in fact, he's rather hardcore hermit...with mod powers...

dangerous combo....

Fair enough.

[QUOTE="ramey70"]Btw, hasn't Casey said numerous times that games have decided the winner in the past and not sales?Tylendal

Casey's opinion does not trump the opinion of an entire industry...

True, but this isn't the "entire industry". It's a message board moderated by him and his rules.

There are more mods than just Casey... or is he actually the leader of Systemwars?

I think that his opinion appears to weigh a little more than other mods here, or so it's been shown.
