What I hate about each company
1. Nintendo - overpricing everything. Re-badge last gen technology and mark it up to $250. People are obviously buying into it. Sell a mini-game collection for $50 when a game like Bioshock is there for $60.
2. Sony - Caring more about media capabilities than games the last couple of years, but it's starting to change. Extra space (Blu-ray) is not a bad thing, but they should of marketed how it will help games more than movies, when it comes to a game console
3. M$ - making crappy products. 360 is an awesome system, when it is working. Mine hasn't broken, but many of my friends have had problems. I have the new heatsink, so hopefully it's ok. Windows also has generally been a less than stellar experience. Also, I hate their "with us or against us" approach of only trying to kill Sony, with very little other goals. |
Um, seriously... what?? That's probably the first time I ever heard of Nintendo being 'overpriced' (when they're the cheapest current gen system out there). Just because they're actually making money (which is what any company is SUPPOSED to do) doesn't mean they're overpriced. And enough about it being 'last-gen' technology already when they're the only ones that really innovated and made big changes to the way games are played. The speed of processing may be slower, but they used 'next-gen' technology to instead reduce power consuption, size, and noise, while creating a new way to play games. 'Next-gen' doesn't always mean way faster, it can also mean smaller and cooler (temperature). |
The wii makes about 50 dollar profit with every one sold. Sony and MS (til recently) sell their consoles at a loss so you can get the best value. Not to mention the cost of a freakin wiimote? VC games? |
That's my point. Products are supposed to make money. Duh. That doesn't make Nintendo overpriced or a bunch of crooks, just smarter than the other guys.
And 5 bucks for a good VC game is just fine with me.
