N-Revolution closes, blames Nintendo’s shift away from hardcore gamer.

[lenardo1]

main problem with his statement is it is not true

the gaming population is also the internet population, and they get their news from

1up
ign
gamespot
other gaming oriented websites-that have up to date information

magazines however are 1-2 MONTHS out of date

for example

ffxiii going to the 360- the internet knew this was happening seconds to a few hrs after it was revealed

magazine that is monthly...would have to wait til the next issue a 2-4 weeks later.

a magazine that is every 2 months, we are talking up to 8 weeks
a quarterly is 12 weeks etc...

gaming sites had this information up and distributed almost instantaneously.

the places that get the gaming news the fastest survive. those that do not (magazines) fail.

magazine subscriptions- world wide -(except for a few) are all down significantly.

not just the gaming ones
