Yes compared to MS, but not as much as how Nintendo cares for their customers.

I've been overlooking Nintendo a little bit. If they didn't release the 3DS at such a high price and refuse to drop the price of the Wii, I would put them at the top of my "who cares most" list.

Yes, I think they do. Not only are they making lots of exclusive games but Sony is trying everything to please its fans by investing hard to become the dominating console in the console war.

have it your way... its like i am not even here... all my statments were opinions... i have mine and you yours!


Sony messing up with the PS3 isn't an opinion, it's a fact. Even they themselves acknowledge that.

Sony taking losses to drive profits in other areas of their company and not for their fans sake isn't an opinion, it's a fact.

The only opinion I gave in my post is that I don't think it's worth spending $600 for a console and that's an opinion held by the majority of the console market.

Lol no. They thought they could shove expensive crap down people's throats. Just look at the Vita and ridiculous prices on the accessories!


Yes Sony has recently had to charge more then their competitiors on thier products. But the real question is was IT worth the investment.

The Vita may be expensive but it does/offers alot then its competitor. Just need to wait on the "Must have" games.

I haven't read the whole thread (and I won't) but I'm jumping in right here. If we take the PS3 as an example, 599$ was not worth it. I waited a year and a half ( to buy a PS3 until the release of MGS4) and I missed nothing of worth and paid less. From my point of view, early adopters got royally screwed.

1. True gaming system= most varied library and applies more games that give  the most experiences  and less shovelware.

2. Hardcore gamers aren't the majority in the market, but they are what keeps the everything going when the casuals dont give a damn (which is most of the time)

3. The PS2 was a console dedicated to gaming and less politics which Nintendo had issues with third parties last gen and Microsoft couldnt get enough games to come out.

4. Name a console which has games that have nostalgia written all over them. If it isn't Nintendo, I dont know who it is.

 

'Real gaming', 'true gaming' , ' games not aimed at me are not true games, they are shovelware'

What a joke. I hope we have less people who think like this next gen.

And hardcore gamers, who are a very, very small minority in this industry, aren't what keeps everything going. Sega's hardcore fans sure as hell didn't save them. The core gaming market and the casual gaming market are what keep everything going.

Don't bother replying, you disgust me. *Spits*

I don't agree.

I might as well address the main point of the thread while I'm at it.

Sony didn't cram high tech technology into the PS2, PS3 and Vita because they're big softies that can't bare their gamers playing on inferior hardware. They did it because they thought it was the best way to ensure they'd make as much money as possible. End of story.

I don't mind the games to be honest, I remember playing Wii Fit for a few weeks, it's the type of "gamers" I don't like. I always like to differentiate myself from them. Whether it be shooter obsessed kids or mothers that play Just Dance, I don't want to be associated with them in any way at all.

Then, if I had to put you in a group (although I hate these labellings too), I'd say you are a core gamer. " A player with a wide range of interests and enthusiast towards creative and diverse games,  but without the amount of time spent and sense of competition of a hardcore gamer"

You don't turn your nose down at casual games because you are  open to a wide range of different gaming experiences.

It's the 'true gaming' or 'real gaming' nonsense that really gets to me.

Sony is the parent that gives the kid whatever they ask for--even if they can't afford it. It results in a bunch of spoiled ass kids that don't appreciate anything. They see another parent do something and they think, "Oh. Their kid got that so my kids deserve it too!" It's neighbor, Microsoft's kid got a new car. Sony goes into debt buying a similar car. The kid is thankful.

Microsoft is the parent that has a good job and gets their kid fancy things--but the kid has to have a job and some responsibilities. "You want a new car? I'll pay for half.", Microsoft says. That's fair. The kid has a nice fancy car. It's much flashier than what that Nintendo has. Microsoft has money in the bank. Could they have offred a free car? Sure. But why should they?

Nintendo is the creative, artsy, fun loving and sometimes high off their ass parent. "Microsoft bought their kid a car!" You tell Nintendo. "Here's a pogo stick." Nintendo replies. Sony bought their kid a car, too! And some sort of pogo stick that looks like a dildo." ,You tell Nintendo. "Here's a bicycle." Nintendo replies. Nintendo doesn't care what anybody else is doing. They just give you what they think you deserve because they feel they know best.

So who loves who more? The answer: Late at night, they all meet up and have swinger parties at Sega's house.

I love this post.
