Curious did you deride the X360 that had 4GB of internal storage?


Defensive much?  Yeah the 4GB 360 was retarded, but not as retarded as someone buying one and then attempting to go "All Digital."

A bit defensive when people are spreading mis-information.  As far as 8 or 32 GB of memeory are concerned I guess I don't view it as a mistake.  I look at it as keeping costs down.  I'd rather have the option to spend the extra money on more storage if I need it than not have the option and pay for storage I have no intention of using. If the Wii U was $50 more I would imagine it would be selling even worse than what it is already.

 

Although if you read through what i copied off of Nintendo's website I find it interesting you can transfer your games and NNID from a 3ds to an N3DS but they won't let you transfer if you are downgrading units... that's kind of sketchy.

It's just not an elegant solution.  Plus they are charging $300 for something as strong as a $180 console.  At least they could include something that was practically a standard 2 generations prior.

The tablet is what should have been an optional add-on.

Sorry, I know I got off subject.



Prediction for console Lifetime sales:

Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million

[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]

3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m

I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.

Given your unfortunate situation, there's likely to be conterfeit physical copies in circulation.

I recently started doing digital. I find I'm more likely to play the games I buy digitally vs those I buy physical copies of. I used a 128GB flash drive. So far, so good.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

If I were in your place, I would. I still buy retail discs because they are priced the same as digital in the US and I don't want to hog storage space.

If the price to purchase games is higher than it is to buy extra storage, then yeah, I'd suggest going digital.

This last part I'm not going to argue.  Not sure I really could even if I wanted to.  I really like the pad but it seems I am in the minority in my opinion.  I too apologize for getting off subject.  Sorry if i seemed shitty toward you Eddie_Raja.

Haha you seemed a little at first, but you changed your tune quickly when you saw I wasn't saying a double standard.  IMO no last-gen console should have less than 10GB (Which is why I give the 12GB PS3 a slight pass).
