I fI was a microsoft fanboy I would want sony out of the race just because they offer good shooters as well.

That's a ridiculous statement that shows your obvious bias. You are aboviously a Sony fan and therefore have no business spouting your propoganda in this thread.


what you don't think killzone, resistance, and socom are not good shooters? I just gave my pov from a microsoft fanboy. I am not a fanboy really of either side. Although i do admit i prefer sony a little bit more this gen. I prefered microsoft last gen. Either way i have both systems and i am happy with both of them.

Did I say that? A MS fanboy would be too stupidly blind to think that Sony had any good FPS, given what this thread is about, you have no business being here.

okay dude just calm down a little. again i am a miscrosoft fan but im not totally in love with microsoft. in doesn't say you have to be a microsoft fanboy to be in this thread. i think you are wrong when you said that "a microsoft fanboy to think that sony had any good fps." In reality a Microsoft fanboy would know that sony does have good FPS games but just wouldn't want to admit it.

For those of you MS fans who say Sony needs to leave the console market...

 

You couldn't be more idiotic and foolish.

 

Competition is what drives hardware and software advancements and innovations. Any major company in pretty much every single competitive market on earth will tell you this. Automotive companies, cell phone companies, gaming consoles, computer hardware designers, etc etc etc.

Companies constantly set the benchmarks for one another to break. Without competition, you don't really have a far-reaching goal that must be achieved. You just design what you think will work and go from there. Innovations are made much slower.. etc.

You can look at basically ANY new major advancement when it releases, and you'll see something like "xxx has designed a new xxx to compete against xxx's xxx". I mean seriously. You can look at the new 2011 5.0 Mustang and read in hundreds of magazine articles where Ford has said they produced the new engine to help it better compete against the higher powered Camaro. When MS released the original Xbox, they CLEARLY said they had designed it to help compete against Sony's PS2. If there was no PS2, MS wouldn't have had any benchmark specs to shoot for, and the quality of both the hardware and software would have suffered horribly.

 

Seriously, do you think that when MS released the slim it has NOTHING to do with what Sony has done with 4 consoles now?

 

As a die-hard Sony fan, I can honestly say I would be extremely disappointed if MS left the console market. Games like Resistance were created to be Sony's version of Halo. Forza was created to be MS's version of Gran Turismo. Smaller 3rd party software companies wouldn't have the budget to produce games for a single console market, when 2 consoles greatly increases their revenue. 

 

As someone who has been through several years of college, and dabbled in careers in automotive performance, advertising, computer hardware/software engineering, and a plethora of profitable hobbies... I can tell you that competition is what makes the world's economy and technological advancements go round.

As I said in the Sega fans thread--Nintendo..IMO would be better off as a software only publisher. Let Sony and Microsoft duck it out in the hardware race and let Nintendo publish their games on those systems. Only games worthwhile on a Nintendo platform are typically from them so makes most sense IMO.

Nintendo is only the most innovative hardware company out there.  I'm not a fan of motion controls, but the big N has been the creators that have pushed this industry forward as a whole.  They are the first to bring the following things mainstream to consoles:

D-pad

shoulder buttons

3D platformers

analog sticks

wireless controllers (that actually work)

motion controls

 

They have also been the forerunners in the portable industry.  So, I guess I disagree with the hate for NIntendo.  They need to continue to create hardware and innovate.  I probably shouldn't even be in this thread anyways, as I see no reason for any company to leave, and I'm not mainly a Microsoft fan, but I, like the thread creator, like reading other people's thoughts.  I just disagree that Nintendo should leave.  I think their first party software would even suffer as a result as they generally release software to coincide with their hardware.


Let there innovation come in the form of software only thats what I want. I haven`t really been that happy with Nintendo since the N64 days. They are most well known for good games therefore I think goign the same route Sega did would work well for Nintendo and there would be nothing wrong with that. They would do well as a Publisher only.  He asked for people`s opinions and I gave mine. Your not really even a Microsoft fan anyways! lol

Sega/Microsoft fan for life! Like Sony/Nintendo but not a fan.

I love Sega too, but I think they were better when they made systems.  I wish they still made consoles to be honest.

Yeah, I'm not a MS fan, but I do like them.  They made huge strides in bringing online play to the masses, which is huge nowadays.  I just don't really like FPS or online play that much.  I know it's not the most popular opinion nowadays, but everyone has differing opinions which is why I think no system should leave.

Uh oh, I hear Sev coming to yell at me that this is not what this thread is about, I better get out of here.

If I really had to choose, it would be Apple. I don't like any games on their ipod/ipad.... and MAC games can easily be on PCs and Xbox first.

They're a pathetic and expensive excuse for a gaming option. Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony all need to stay in the market and show how they can crush Apple. Those three will rein supreme.



Everyone needs to play Lost Odyssey! Any opposition to this and I will have to just say, "If it's a fight you want, you got it!"

Well, the jury's still out about its staying power. But considering it has already sold 74 million I'd say it bodes well for its stay power.

 

What exactly did the HD consoles add to gaming? Better graphics? Whoopdi freakin doo..

 

What does wii add to gaming? Motion controls? Whoopdidoo.

 

HD consoles have better graphics, better games and definitely better online. I think those things can be counted as adding something to gaming.

 

Do I have to say that the super power HD consoles now have motion controls (kinect & move) and Wii doesn't has HD?

 

So, yes motion control >>>>> hd and better graphics. Whoopdidoo.

 

And what do you mean by better games? Wii has "better games", maybe less hyped games, but has great games.

 



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

if you are a die-hard sony fan shouldn't you be posting in the sony thread?  I thought the OP was pretty clear...
