frogger, nah



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

The poll only had 2000 people, not very conclusive. Just another stupid website making another stupid list.

So anyone that says that consoles are computers will be happy to have the PC added to the systems watched list right? Then we can have all the systems of this generation represented. And constantly see the Wii outsold 4 to 1 by PC's?

OT I think they shouldnt have mixed Console with Computer. And who on God sgreen earth would vote for WiiPlay and WiiSports? Someone asked them what the greatest game of all time is and someone REALLY said WiiPlay?? Wow.



I own all three current consoles and a great gaming rig, now thats out of the way.

"Why post something like this when all it will get is PS3 owners blinded to reality replying? BOTH THE PS3 AND BLUE-RAY WILL NOT LAST 3 YEARS! TECHNOLOGY CHANGED TOO FAST!"

"is it Wii FIt that has sold as many as PS3's sold? Thats a LOL Look at the total sales of software is it just me that sees Nintendo titles hitting 10m+ and you say they arent making a difference? Another LOL!"

"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"

Wii Play is on it? yikes

I hate this idea that somehow retro = better and that it is "cool" to say the best games are the oldest ones. Yes these games pioneered the medium, but it neglects some newer games that are better.

I agree 100%.  Many people list old games as some of the best ever.  But if you were to try to get somebody who only recently started gaming to play Pac-man, they would probably hate it, and for good reason.  Compared to today's games...those games are nothing.  Many amateur-made flash games today are much better than some games on that list.  There were just too many technological limitations back in the day, plus all the progess that has been made in game designing.  They don't even come close to most modern games.
