Hah, your the one with the predictions that the Wii is suddenly just going to stop selling right?

 

No. This is the problem here, you just don't read the words and understand them. Like you have communal attention deficit disorder. Go back and read, with care, what I posted. You might get an education.

Why are you being rude. Just because your article was not well received does not mean you need to take it out on the people of the site. You can't even confirm it was someone from here.

If you want attention, I suggest you go elsewhere.

Edit: Didn't see the email thing until now.

One of you fanboys posted this to my blog:

"Sorry but no, the devs are not tie to the number of pixels in this way, is cheaper to develop a game for the Wii beacuse they are using the same technology of the GC, the only changes are the control interface, they are not introducing a new arquitecture, thats why is cheaper to develop for the Wii, because they are using a well know API..."

in reply to my statement "In addition the Wii can have games developed for it far more quickly and cheaply because a far smaller number of pixels are being manipulated."


In fact I posted it...

 

Your post:

My post:

"Sorry but no, the devs are not tie to the number of pixels in this way, is cheaper to develop a game for the Wii beacuse they are using the same technology of the GC, the only changes are the control interface, they are not introducing a new arquitecture, thats why is cheaper to develop for the Wii, because they are using a well know API... "

 

Lets try to remember the claims about the devs about the PS3 "too hard and is not cheap" , the 360 "is like a PC, so is good"... so why my post is wrong, since I state the obvious, Nintendo, didn't develop a new tech just for the Wii they keep the base of the GC, the api remains the same, they only add the Wiimote feature, thats why is cheaper to develop for the Wii...

 

In fact I remember somebody from Nintendo (I think i was Miyamoto) saying something like "Devs can use the DevKits from the GC to make games for the wii",yeap thats why I think and sustain the reason for the low cost of the Wii development kits...

"The Wii is the cheapest to develop for because it has lower SPECS. It has very little to do with storage constraints. It can't handle higher res textures, higher polygon count models, highly advanced AI or Physics, etc etc, which means less development costs due to less programmers, artists, animators, etc etc etc..."

 

Your statement actually makes more sense than Bruce's statement:

"In addition the Wii can have games developed for it far more quickly and cheaply because a far smaller number of pixels are being manipulated."

Um...thanks for the flame Hus.

 

Side note: Couldn't you have simply PMed  FJ-Warez and discussed it from there? Why did you have to make a thread about this?



There is no such thing as a console war. This is the first step to game design.

No Rol! Don't tell him to do that. He can't ban himself now that FJ has finally shown up to defend his honour.


I suggest a musket duel at 20 paces.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

It is where Microsoft can show their superiority because they are a software company, not a consumer electronics company or a toy company like their competitors.

DUDE, who posted this CRASS STUPIDITY in your website?



the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!

Actually guys, I have seen that exact argument in these forums. I don't really want to spend the time to quote it, however, I remember reading nearly the exact same thing.

Now, Bruce, the majority of us are actually pretty intelligent, so, a thread like this is destined to be ridiculed. Sorry, but your generalization of us is pretty stupid and childish.

If you really think that your other viewers are way to smart and we are the sole cause of the internet's fanboyisms, then why don't you remove your links from our site and eventually we won't even remember you.

What, I'm confused? Is this a joke thread?

Nah, he's just a clueless guy who used to be in the industry and likes to say he's a market analyst without doing the actual work of one.

Kinda like those guys with blogs who claim to be journalists because they write there opinions on stuff.

What is the average age on here? 12?

This is an open letter of apology.

My first gamming system was Pong in 1976, my first PC was in 1981. I have owned every console, and almost every stage of PC (minus the newer Nintendo stuff, and the older Mac stuff).

 

So, as an equally old gamer with the same insight and history in the field, I apologize for the complete level of ass this guy is being. He makes me, and all my kind look pompous and self absorbed.

 

It’s sad, when being a middle aged man talking on a site with 12 year old, that I have to be the one apologizing for my generation.
