Im wondering what your take an the ds is then. The psp was supposed to be a better console, better graphics, games on cd. Yet the ds has humbled it. Why?
could it be that gamers arent as exited by graphics as you say. I own a ds as well as a wii. not because they are made by nintendo but they are different.
Ps3 is the ps2 with prittier graphics. the 360. same as the xbox.
Why the HD assumption that everybody wants it and that in 12 months nintendo will release wii 2. they cant make enough of the wii now. Even if the wii does have a massive fall in popularity nintendo can reduce the price much more than its competitors due to it costing less to produce. This will increase the popularity of the console again.
different coloured wiis. again not to important but history shows when it happens products fly of the shelf. Nintendo has all the bases covered. |
And thats why Im not going to listen to you anymore. The PS3 is NOT a suped up PS2; it offers a hell of a lot more. Thats like me saying the Wii Is a suped up eyetoy, it makes no sense. Youre talking about Nintendo being able to reduce cost and introduce new colours and 'history' shows it'll work. Past evidence doesnt necessarily correlate well with the Wii because its hitting new markets that had never been considered before. Its an entirely different field with the Wii, sure new colours and lower price would up the demand a bit, but whos to say if it'd work on the same level as it has in the past? Price obviously isnt that big a deal anyway considering how much people are spending on them on Ebay etc. |
DS, new colors always spark new sales of the DS, DS is the best indicator of Wii success Also gamewise PS3 has done nothing to show that it is anything more than a graphical update, blu-ray playback and such is irrelevent |
Okay, Ill admit its worked with the DS but the fact remains past evidence shouldnt automatically be used to map the Wii's lifecycle cause its new territory.
How is Blu-Ray playback irrelevant? It offers something the PS2 couldnt. PS3 has online services, something the PS2 pretty much lacked entirely until later on. To be fair the games ive played so far on the PS3 have been pretty damn impressive, regardless of whether or not theyve just recieved a graphical update. Heavenly sword for example is one of the most cinematic games ive played, a feeling ive not had with a game before.
(By cinematic I mean it felt as though the entire game was like a movie; and thats not to downplay the gameplay which was fairly impressive.)
