what the people who get owned call gimmicks at first are really innovations. nintendo goes for innovations. N64 controller, DS touchscreen, Wii motion control, 3DS stereo 3D, Wii U controller(s) all revolutionary and all very good and all called gimmicks by people who were locked in for the other companies.
I don't want to know how you convinced him.
Taking notes....
It's true.
But It's still a gimmick only because of 3 things.
1.) There is no true way to know what sells, and just because motion control and 3D projection worked this time doesn't mean it worked every time.
Examples - Power Glove and Visual Boy
2.) The impact of the innovation is lost because of competition and you know, money grubbing.
Examples - Kinect, Playstation Move
3.) The final straw is the general gaming crowd being picky as :censored: about how this "innovation" makes the game annoying, or tedious, or just not innovative.
(this is speculation and can be disproved over time)
I've got a Wii console, and a Gamecube.
I'm not categorically saying I'll never get a Wii U........I just can't see the point of getting one asap for some games with slightly better gfx, and maybe a couple (to begin with) exclusives.
I haven't played all the Wii games I've pirated yet anyway..........and haven't even got around to getting a PS3 :lol
You talking about my friend who sold me the 360 here?
I didnt even have to convince him, he asked me if i would be willing to buy it.
He gave me original box, stock headset, and 250 GB system for $100----price he came up with! :rofl:
I could barely contain my joy when he gave me that price. :D
@Deadlegion A PS2 is next on my list, but it will have to wait for awhile. Unless Gyp wants to give me a free one like he did with Nem >.>
oh, like discs were innovative for the PS1?
I'm thinking about getting a xbox. I'm definitely getting another ps2. My old one broke down.
read this blog: WWW.BDVR.CO.CC
my blog, i review stuff on it.
ima get an old Xbox, a PS2, a PSone, and a Wii U and a 3DS
For its time.
Yes it was. More space for bigger and more expansive games, Plus the added space needed to up the graphical scale for its time.
But Nintendo and Sega was both planning to compete with this, both failed until the 6th Generation.
Example - 64DD and Sega Saturn or Sega CD (unfortunately)
Sega dropped out of console making and the GC was made for Nintendo.
Yeah. But Sega wasn't the only failures. We can't forget The cd-i and the Jaguar.
dont get the XL unless, nope. read this: this i already said everything i want to say about it there
lol CDi.
SeGa is rumored to be getting back into the Console Wars with a technically advanced console that they are going to release this year, skipping E3 altogether and cashing in on MSFT's and Sony's stupidity. read more on my blog.
i know i'm trying to get more blog traffic so i can get tickets to Skyfall.
I've got 2 original Xbox consoles (1 retail, 1 chipped).
Two PS2's (same combination as above).
Only one Xbox 360 (slim retail).
The original Xbox is a much better console than the PS2, better gfx, easy to mod, run games and emu's from HDD (and you can run quite a decent range of platforms on it), upgrade HDD size, you can run up to 720p with some stuff.
Yeah, the PS2 has a huge range and loads of exclusives.......but the best scenario is to get everything for original Xbox first, then any other stuff for PS2 imho.
PS2 and original Xbox consoles are dirt cheap.......or even free :)
I just want a ps so I can play FF9. I'm not sure about xbox, but there's some games I want.
It's ok, I can get one for cheap.
@ Shard:wacko:
Live And Reloaded.
Yeah, I want to get Conker too.
