Arkan Posted August 12, 2006 Posted August 12, 2006 The Wii needs more of an ass. "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta
Kaftan Barlast Posted August 12, 2006 Posted August 12, 2006 I hope the NexGen consoles prove to be as much of a flop as it seems. Hopefully, the Wii will be crushed when its released and people realise the fantastic new control system completely lacks precision and control DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner.

alanschu Posted August 12, 2006 Posted August 12, 2006 Fortunately, I know that you're not serious and just joking around. Given your disclaimer as well as your posts, I've now realized that you are in fact, the biggest console supporter in the world.
jaguars4ever Posted August 12, 2006 Posted August 12, 2006 Well, we can't really say that it completely lacks precision and control unless we've used it. But if it really does end up sucking, Nintendo could always just release a more traditional controller. Or not.
Kaftan Barlast Posted August 12, 2006 Posted August 12, 2006 The Wii stands and falls with the controller, since that is the only thing that separates it from the old gamecube. Im hoping for another "Crash of 84" for the video game industry or atleast a recession. We know that Microsofts 360 sales did not even come close to their goals, we know that Sony has had severe financial problems. And unless the Wii becomes the smash hit Nintendo are counting on, they will be in trouble even with their cash-cow the DS DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner.

alanschu Posted August 12, 2006 Posted August 12, 2006 According to 10k the 360 sales were right on target.

Pidesco Posted August 12, 2006 Posted August 12, 2006 And let's not forget that the old Xbox sales in Japan increased infinitely recently.

Kaftan Barlast Posted August 12, 2006 Posted August 12, 2006 (edited) Microsoft initially counted on selling 10 million units for christmas 2005, they didnt even come close and so now theyre talking about 10million units for the entire year of 2006. From a two month sales window to 14 is not very good. Still the original Xbox sold 24million units worldwide from its release in 2002 to summer 2006, so perhaps the 360 will outsell it after all I still hope it all goes in the crapper though ) Edited August 12, 2006 by Kaftan Barlast DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner.

Judge Hades Posted August 12, 2006 Posted August 12, 2006 If the video game industry crashes PC SHALL RULE ONCE MORE! BWAAHAAHAAAAAA!
jaguars4ever Posted August 13, 2006 Posted August 13, 2006 Too late, Hades. As sad as it may be, PC gaming is but a shadow of it's former glory. For if the video gaming industry crashes, then The Second Reckoning of Tabletop Gaming will fall upon us! Yes, that includes Subbuteo! :Hades constipaticon:
Bokishi Posted August 13, 2006 Posted August 13, 2006 PC glory will rise again in 2007, when Crysis and UT2007 is released. Current 3DMark
Pidesco Posted August 13, 2006 Posted August 13, 2006 You mean when Bioshock is released.

Kaftan Barlast Posted August 13, 2006 Posted August 13, 2006 (edited) The notion that PC gaming is in a decline is nothing but a myth. The PC market is as steady as ever, I heard this myself from the CEO of Paradox Publishing and he should know what hes talking about. Its not expanding as agressively as it did in the 90's though, because everyone already has a PC by now If you look at the statistics here for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_of_PC...sales_in_the_US you can see that it actually omits MMO's, which is a HUGE portion of the PC market. Its like making a list of console sales and excluding platform titles.
