I feel a MASSIVE change in the gaming industry

[Sorair]

The Wii did change the gaming industry, PS3 and Xbox 360 are what developers want but since development costs went up. The PS3 and Xbox 360 are failures in that respect, just because of the fact the Wii is there with new controls and cheaper production value.

The PS3 and Xbox 360 are trying to fight for the ultimate gaming rig, with the best HD player, best graphics. Where as Nintendo developed a developer friendly system for developers to make cheap games on. And I understand this and I see the future for Microsoft and Sony to be really small. Just for the simple fact Nintendo is back.

Nintendo has fell deeply in the past because PS1 and PS2 was the next big thing, it was sort of the best in regards to having games out. Sega put a bad taste in everyone mouth, so consumers had no choice but to choose between the N64 of PS1. Then came Microsoft with the best developed console with graphics and its online service which is dominating at this point.

Nintendo shocked the world with its new control scheme and made a cheap developed console with it. Which is good and with the cheap price for consumers, its selling just like hotcakes. PS3 and Xbox 360 started out wrong with the prices and the selection of games.

Microsoft is doing something in the HD world. But Sony messed up with the Cell processor, just for the simple fact, the development costs are harder now than ever. And the games are taking time, plus consumers want the next big thing. Well when you have a console priced at $500 or $400 with no games. Consumers are forced to go after other alternatives such as the Wii and 360.

I do believe Nintendo has changed the industry in a good way. Because I wanted to go back to the core of gaming and it was the games. Not graphics, but to sit at my house and enjoy the gaming that is provided. Not these huge worlds or better disc capacity. I want gaming and Nintendo found the weakness in the gaming industry. And struck with vengeance, and took back what was there since the beginning.

Thats why I will continue to back Nintendo if Sony was to pull the plug on the industry just for the simple fact Nintendo cares more about games than anything and third parties need to see this to take advantage and realize its not about graphics or disc capcity its about the games themselves and release them.

I'm quite disappointed of the PS3 now. I purchased it thinking it would be the PS2 but whats holding it back is developers not knowing the hardware, and delays. Sony has messed up so bad this generation and I see it coming in the distant third in my opinion. Only if they can get these major franchises out then I will say second. But Nintendo and Microsoft are doing the right things now, I'm more agreeing with Nintendo than anybody.

Nintendo I have not betrayed you before, but every since Playstation franchise released the graphics is what I was more excited about than anything. And I forgot what the true means of gaming and its the game itself.

Congratulation Nintendo on making a comeback ^^
