Forums - Nintendo - Here we go again: Heavy Rain creator calls Wii a toy and board game

A toy is something to be used to amuse oneself. It is meant for distraction. It can be something of no real significance in day to day life, other than that of entertainment.

By that definition, most modern high tech gadgets are toys. In fact they are often called 'boys toys'. Video game systems fall under that as well. All of them.

Ugh.  Why is there so much self-loathing in this industry that the "games" part of video-games is something to be devalued, diminished and generally spoken against?  If deep down you just want to be like Hollywood... uh, why not go and work in that industry instead?



I love board games, especially the kinds you find in the specialty shops




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

if you don't agree with the man why do you spread his quote and speak so much of him... when i don't like or agree with someone i just ignore him and don't speak about him in multiple forums... but perhaps thats just me...

besides ... right or not we live in a free speech world and we all can say what ever we want... and yes i did already read almost all of you saying some things like him about one or another console on the market...

He may have chosen his words poorly, but his point is spot on. The Wii and PS3 are in different leagues when speaking on entertainment. They do many different things and appeal to two totally different types of consumer.

Really not anything many others haven't said before.

They call the Wii major league and the PS3 minor league. So yes, I agree.


There's always the multiple million sellers to rub in their face.

The PS3 has multiple million sellers, no different than the PS2, PS1, Xbox 360, Gamecube, and I could go on and on.....

It's a good thing a console isn't measured by the individual sales of maybe 5-6 games.

Enlighten us with a list of 10M seller for PS3, won't you?

Press Y to Yawn.

 

to be fair, i think he is misunderstood here, he isn't american and had lots of typos before with his english language , i bet he is saying "its a fun console" instead of a "funny toy"


So if I understand this correctly PS3 isn't a fun console

Maybe the PS3 can be used as a defibrillator 



lol, people still care about comments like this?

Enlighten us, why does that matter?


Defense mode already?

How about a list of 5M seller for PS3?



...ALL video game systems are toys that you play games on.... hence the "game" part. Anyone who thinks anything more is just ignorant or stupid.

The one on defense is you, since you know, this has zero to do with the topic.

You're the one quoting me first and then suddenly it's no longer relavent because it's now off topic, lol.
