Forums - Nintendo - So much for the so called "Fad" huh? Sony should beg for mercy.

Iwata doesn't like the Ipad and doesn't think Sony's 3D gaming is impressive. It's his opinion that he gave before both products had been released. He gave a judgement on two rival companies, without even testing their idea's or technology. Sony did the same with the Wii, they are competitors in a competitive market. Get over it.

Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

That's a standard for complex handheld devices of all kinds. There wasn't any copying with that one.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

what Sony and MS (to a lesser extent) are doing isnt embarrassing in the slightest...

BUT, it does smack of desperation a little.

true in a way, but think of it this way soon ps3 and 360 owners and new comers, can enjoy motion control and on top of that the best games in the business.

so its a win win for hd console owners imo.



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

I remember when the Wii was first launched, The bias people of the gaming community labeled the Wii and everything motion sensing a "FAD" with a limited life span, 4 Years later the Wii is way ahead of the mighty PS2 in timeline leaving it's competitors a long way behind.

hense the word "Long" 

Now I'm a Multiformat gamer (aka no fanboy) but I do feel what Sony have done with "move" It's just embarrassing, how can Sony sleep with themselves at night knowing they copied the Wii's motion sensing feature. They should of just got paper and traced the Wii mote.

Wouldn't it of made more sense for all three consoles to focus on thier "Strengths" rather than their weaknesses?

The PS3 install base are mainly 18 - 35 year olds.... are they going to make the switch from Metal Gear to Basic Table Tennis?

Your thoughts? 

Ok i wanted to respond to you and I wanted to do it before i read any post in this thread.

About the elite hardcore HD fan dissmising the Wii right off the bat: You're so right on the money. I was not around for the begining of this generation. I wish I was on vgchartz back then, was it around? I REALLY wish I had any kind of thread links or anything to any HD fan on this site, or anyother that labeled motion controls a "fad" so I would serve some crow now lol. Although to be totally fair I was worried about the Wii with motion controls after owning a Power Glove back in the day lol. But all the same I would never just right Nintendo off like that, I know better.

About Sony and the "Move": Its a very weak move for Sony, pun intended, but really can you blame them? There "strenths" are selling there console at huge losses and losing Billions. Thats not a good thing ya know. Sure gamers love it, they got an $800 system at launch for $600 and its a beast with a great library, well its great now anyways. But Sony needs that casual gamer, and im sorry to hurt any Sony fans feelings here but the PS2 was damn casual friendly. You need the casuals to be the market leader.

So I don't get the dissapointment part of it. It's a little embarrassing but people will forget all about that when there playing RE5 in HD with motion controls. And that goes for Nintendo's recent attacks on Sony. I really don't get it. I know you're worried now Nintendo. So heres an idea. Wii 2 with > HD > PSN tyep online service > A harddrive = Nintendo's best system yet.

Let generation 8 begin...Hmm if the PS3 goes 10 years and its going up against the Wii and Wii 2 is the PS3 generation 7 and 8? God damn you Sony you're ganna fuck everything up lol, but i digress.

Meh, Sony saw what was popular and have attempted to perfect it. If they succeed, its great for them and gamers. I don`t see why everyone on the interwebz has to take it so seriously, there's a huge market out there that Nintendo has successfully tapped into, why shouldn`t Sony have a crack?

Because they are hypocrites who first said the technology was useless.

Really? They actually said that the Wii motion-sensing technology was useless? Please provide quotes.

Hum... That was very well put,

Yes at the beginning of this generation the "early" success of the Wii was put down by some of the community as a "FAD"

and you your right, PS1 & PS2 We're casual systems, if anything sony have gone back to the days of Nintendo 64, Powerful system, high development costs, limited market appeal.

In regards to Nintendo, Competition isn't such a bad thing or we wouldn't be sitting here sharing our opinions in this forum today however the execution of Move it's, 

Embarrasing, Lazy? .... Take a Wii Mote, Add sony, change it black, move around the buttons..... Ah There you have a it... Sony's Motion device

In truth Sony made the Motion "FAD" of this generation THE FAIL KNOW AS SIXAXIS....

and whatever happend to that?
