| Kyros said: The Hardware isn’t powerful enough at a reasonable price. LOL the base 360 costs less than a Wii now. 2) The industry wasn’t ready yet Bullshit, "HD" games have been developed for PC for half a decade. You can always make games look worse and cheaper if you think you can make money with that. 3) Developers aren’t ready yet Yeah sure. Because of this Call of Duty 4 looks so bad. Insomniac releases a AAA game a year and of course games have never been delayed. |
1) You mean the 360 Arcade without a hard drive? The one that can't go online, only has half the storage space of the Wii, and has no backwards-compatibility? The one with no motion controls, no Wii Sports or other "blue ocean" games, no Mario or Zelda, no RE4 or Okami with motion controls? The one that MS are taking huge losses from, while Nintendo continues to rake in the dough on every Wii sale? Yeah, while that may be true, I'll submit one vote for, "Who cares?"
2) And look at the state the PC games industry is in, in terms of big-budget "core" exclusives. The only exclusives selling on the PC nowadays are The Sims expansions and World of Warcraft - neither of which are graphical powerhouses.
3) Care to pick a few more cherries while you're at it?
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
