| leo-j said: I think its stupid, just dumb that the press would be so negative towards sony and microsoft, the best show was sony's end of the line, just cuz nintendo announced a balance board that can detect your movement doesnt mean OH DEAR GOD NINTENDO KILLED EVERYONE!! I think they are saying that to hype the wii more and just cuz wii has the hihgest sales. |
The original Guitar Hero received far more mainstream press than (pretty much) every other PS2 game when it was announced ...
Why did this happen when it was not the most hardcore or '1337' game of the show?
The reason it got so much press was because it was interesting to people who do not play a lot of videogames ... Do people who do not play FPS care about Killzone 2 or Unreal Tournament 3? No, these are games they don't play and have no interest in playing.
Co-Workers who don't play videogames were talking about Wii Fit this morning simply because it was interesting and unique; nothing Sony showed was really interesting or unique to non-gamers. This isn't about Sales or Bias it is about them having 30 seconds or 300 words to mention the conference in an interesting way to people who could care less about pixel shaders.
