Forums - Gaming - Competition is good! Stop wishing doom to Nintendo and Xbox.

I have to agree. But i also think that cycles of doom for terrible mistakes are important to show the companies that they have made wrong choices.

In all honesty, none of us here has the power to change anything about the situation. No matter how much you debate on one side or the other. It does however, make conversations and debates very... unpleasant.

"You can't criticize the moderators for fly off the handle bans, you can't criticize PlayStation fans for being, well, arrogant dillweeds, and people like FusionCode and you can come on my wall attack me for defending Nintendo. Also defending the constant negative crap on Nintendo that comes on this site. Seems like huge double standard a do as I say not as do type attitude."

-Just wow, dude. That's not hypocritical at all


Wow someone went all the way back too the archives to find that. Bravo!! Also where in this thread did i say anyhing negative towards Sony just pointed out truths. Sony advertises a lot and  plays it safe on new consoles nothing negative. That's like you someone saying Nintendo makes more kids games nothing wrong with eiher.

I agree with that but to say give up,throw in the towel, rather then fix the mistakes is bogus.

I completely agree. Though i understand when the complaints are due to anti-customer policies (the X1 unveil comes to mind). I liked Microsoft During the original Xbox and the beggining of the 360, but after that they really dropped the ball. I would like to see them trying to focus again on the hardcore gamer that supported them in the first place and drop the kinect charade.

Yeah I ain't reading that. Use paragraphs.

So with my first forum post I want to talk about the constant doom wishes MOST Sony fans write on Nintendo and Microsoft for their hardware. At first it annoyed me but now I see it so much its now comical. Yes since PSOne Sony has done well with selling the most consoles I understand that but they also do the most advertising as well.

So this leads to my title on why competition is great for anything in this world, especially the video game industry. If Microsoft or Nintendo would go obsolete say goodbye to INNOVATION. Whether the innvoations are Great or terrible they are still important to gaming. Sony doesn't do BOLD Innovations reason why their consoles appeal to 3rd parties and that's fine thats how they run their company nothing wrong it. But saying get rid of other consoles because they are not like Sony is just plain ignornant.

It would ruin the gaming industry if it did happen; for example and this example is as clear as day, EA's Madden. Back when I had freedom (no wife and kids) in the late 90's through the early 2000s there were 4 different American Football games to choose from. Madden, NFL 2K, NFL GameDay,  and Blitz. During this time each game had its own uniqueness and each year would have minor upgrades to keep games fresh to try to be the best game, I personally was becoming fond on NFL 2 K myself. Then what happens next?

The NFL and EA partner up and give EA exclusive rights to be the only football game in town. After that we see a steady decline in effort to put a new fresh game out each year. The last Madden I bought and played was 06 and havent missed playing it, which sucks. I actually played 13 and thought it looked exactly the same as 06 but with updated rosters. So why would want to see that happen with consoles?

Why do want mediocrity just to say your console "won the wars"?. Just doesnt make sense to me............. Hope I'm clear this is my first post and im typing on my phone lol

 

There, is that better?


Thanks spurge!!!

Dude .... paragraph spacing? Anyway .... yes, competition is good. We all benefit in the end.



except the fact you're only pointing your thread at sony fans whereas it's the same for xbox/nintendo fans ( where were you when everyone laughed at vita failure ? ) , you're right, competition is good between sony and nintendo.



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

innovation (sigh)... Seriously dude, you could just end your th the title. Instead you decided to make a stealth attack on sony's fanbase with all that talk about the lack of innovation of the ps brand among other things.

anyway, back on topic, wii u is struggling so its only natural to talk about it. I dont think there is a lot of people seriously wishing for Nintendo's decline, but i guess im wrong.


I said BOLD innovation. Reason why I put all caps in my original post. 

Like the U tablet, I presume?

I guess becoming pioneers of VR in gaming won't count as bold

LOL! Good one.



Tell me when you format that wall of text.
