They went old school and inovation with motion and activity. Next gen consoles need to be the family centric gaming workout centers. Still with cable and satillite and recordability of shows and the Internet Itunes and limewire will there be a need for movie rentals and watching tv thru a console??? or just another medium for recieving digital content? What new inovative idea can be added to the videogame console thats wiimote esque in its newness???? I know Nintendo has all its game franchise's and thats thier staple for success! And name brand so far this gen has Nintendo wiping the floor with everyone else. So its upto creativ guy back at the ranch to come up with the next best thing So will just have to see what that is. |
I don't know when Sony and Microsoft got into the idea that people wanted their video game console to run their whole entertainment center but it's a non-starter and they need to get over it.
- Nobody is looking for it. I already have something that runs everything, it's a AV receiver and it costs more than my Wii but it handles everything and outputs it over the HDMI cable and out to the surround sound plus it has a high quality FM and XM radio. A video console to do that would be a huge monstrosity with a huge price tag. If I want to add more online capabiolity I'll use my PC thank you, it's cheaper now anyway and I already have it. All I want my video game console to do is play games. I've got movies, MP3, Tivo and everything covered.
-I want the console to stay portable enough to be able to take it in the car for my grandson to play.
