hmmm.... then I'm probably poor. I can barely afford a 3DS with 3 games, have to use my roomie's Wii, don't think I'll be getting a Vita in all honesty. I don't have money to throw left and right. Now you know. @italics. I appreciate the way you say that, but I'm trying to tell you it's not about me. It doesn't really matter what I do, it isn't the point. How do you not understand oni? It's about what consumers choose, not what I choose, and it's ultimately about what I wish for Nintendo, i.e. success. 3rd paragraph: Do you have a favorite team? A favorite boxer, or fighter? Something you feel attached to or patriotic of? I don't have a favorite hockey team, the closest I get is tennis and I vouch for Federer and Nadal, not either I respect both. In gaming, I respect all the companies, but personally, I vouch for Nintendo. I want them to be the winner in the end, if winner there is to be. With that ambition, I write my posts trying to understand the market. In this mindset, the position of these devs is one that is not only illogical, but revolting for me. There is no reason for them to shun Nintendo's platform, and it is revolting to me because it is 100% against my ambition. To each his own, but at least now you can possibly relate and maybe even understand. If not, sorry that it bothers you. I understand why I do it, and will continue to discuss it from a business perspective, not from a gamer's perspective. I hope it's okay. |
@1st paragraph, that sucks, I was there, dont know what to tell you really. My only advice would be to actually get a system that you want to play games for. IE you like Ninty, but you know the Wii was getting crap all for 3rd party support, most games you buy will be third party you can only have one system. Does a person throw aside their love for a company and get the product that they know will have the games they want to play or do they be "faithful", knowing they will miss out and jump on forums complaning. Just a question
2nd If its not about you, why complain so much?? Consumer choice?? The damn WIi U isnt even out yet, consumers cannot make a choice on something that doesnt exist. When Wii U comes out and IF it flies off the shelves, then we can say the consumers chose and even then, its not like they said there will NEVER be a Wii U port, hell even Anniversary got a WII port long after the PS2 version was released.
3rd really?? You wanna compare sports to video game industry? They are not even remotely alike. Yeah I have a favorite team, but if they loose im not gonna throw a hissy fit, they try again later, because it DOESNT affect my life. If the GIANTS blow at Super Bowl at the end of the day it wont matter to me, unless I put money on the game. You wanna know the funny thing is, I used to be like you, with SEGA. I was worse, but at least I was young. We know what happened to Sega and I learned a lesson, screw companies. Video game loyalty is dumb, I care about games, whoever provides me with what I want I back them. PS brand has more than provided me everytime they release a system and I hate PS brand intially. They cant shut a system that they dont even have a deve kit for, if anything be mad at Ninty for not sending them one, thats there job, unless you suggest that they say screw PS360/PC audience let them wait to appease the nonexistant install base of Wii U?? It doesnt bother me, I just find it...weird IMHO. I was like you and I look at my time with disgust, but hell you're not bashing any other company so your much better than I was.
