I think the real question is this:
Why on Earth are so many of you loyal to a faceless corporation that only cares about your money?
Sheesh... All three console manufacturers have very sordid histories and "cheering" for them because of brand loyalty is downright foolish.
Buy the console that has the games you want to play, no matter what inane logo resides on the front of it. End of story. |
Word. Except I'd add gaming philosophies to that, which can actually be company-specific. It's why I've always had a soft spot for Nintendo - they, at times only hypothetically but often not, are interested in bringing me innovative gaming. But if the system that has the most games I want to play and is at the right price point is the PS3 or the 360 or the Atari Wedon'tsuckanymore, it's the system that I'll buy. I think the fanboyism and brand loyalty is spawned from the same part of the human psyche as loyalty to professional sports teams. Which, when you actually think about it, is a ridiculous concept. But - it's fun. |
The reason I like Nintendo is because they consistently bring great games to the table. My favorite franchises -- Metroid, Mario, Zelda -- always deliver, and deliver big, with the exception of Mario on the 'cube. Zelda: Twilight Princess is definitely one of the best game I've ever played and I will likely play through it again yet this year if I get an opportunity. |
Man, was I the only one who rather liked Sunshine for its solid, if tame, gameplay and thought Wind Waker was a blase rehash with graphics and an overlarge ocean tacked on?
I think GCN was the generation that Nintendo's stance on innovation saw the least delivery. Which still garnered Metroid Prime and Pikmin...
