Gnizmo said: I am so glad people from the future have come back in time to tell us which systems have or have not run out of system selling games. I am glad the days of a surprise new IP coming along and pushing systems by being such a great game are long gone in favor of people knowing exactly how every game on a given console will perform. |
Don't beat around the bush, come on tell us what you really think....
Just kidding, in fact I agree with you - what's that saying: It ain't over tell the fat lady sings?
Well she's not singing yet, she might be humming a little bit but it is by no means over for anyone this generation.
But being the realist I am I have to ceede that Microsoft will most likely "loose" this generation in terms of Hardware sales numbers, but does that really mean they lost? I say not really, and to back that up I put forward that Microsoft has been able to increase their market share and will most likely increase their overall market share for the generation over the Xbox and last generation, they will also (barring some freak disaster) outsell the original Xbox with the Xbox360, and while they are not my forte the 360 is building some fairly good franchises with pretty damn good 3rd party support that will put Microsoft in line to do well with the NextBox so I say job well done for Microsoft, we can expect everyone to do as well as the leader or drop out if they can't if that were true we'd have nothing but boring monopolies everywhere (*cough* Microsoft in the PC world *cough*).
Currently dreaming of: DKC4 or Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (classic 2D platformers) for WiiWare, Smash Bros. for DSi, New Super Mario World for DSi, a Wii remake or true sequel of Final Fantasy Tactics.
One down, hopefully more awesomeness to come.
