Paul_warren, I don't know what to say. You are simply an idiot and there i no reason to even try to explain to you why you are wrong.



Paul_Warren on 09 September 2008

Hemuli, you call me an idiot. Thank me for not calling you something else.



My most anticipated games:  Whatever Hideo Kojima is going to do next, Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Gran Turismo 5, Alan Wake, Wii Sports Resort.  Cave Story Wiiware.

I think the only worry nintendo needs to have right now is what to do with the truckloads of money they receive each day.

my thoughts:
1 - no. I think a lot of people are going to realize that the arcade is a crippled version of the 360 and not want it
2 - Always an issue, but smart people have gone out and are buying them NOW as they are a little easier to find. With the unit approaching its 2nd birthday, people got the hint that you're not going to automatically walk into a store and find one during the holidays.
3 - E3 generally holds no interest for anyone since they changed it. Many people didn't expect anything from anyone at E3. The only people that were actually disappointed were the fans who heard rumors of Kid Icarus and F Zero. While there were no "core" games announced, suddenly we get get Day of Crisis out of the blue. 3rd party offerings also seem to keep the crowd content.

I don't forsee any of the issues really being issues at all. People who want a cheap 360 will get the arcade, but parents turn into cavemen in the stores. They know Wii. They dont know 360, unless their kids requested that. I've never even once seen or heard of a parent substituting a christmas present request with a runner-up "eh, good enough" present.

 

If you call the arcade version of the 360 crippled what do you call the WII a parapalegic?

Dont be dumb. The 360 arcade has several of the main xb360s features gutted out of it. You know what I meant. No one wants to pay $200 for half of a system, unless they truly want an xb360 but cant afford/refuse to pay the full price. The arcade has no bearing on Wii sales whatsoever, and we both know this.

Three reasons nintendo shouldn't be worried:

1. They hired Onimusha12
2 They made a billion profit
3. Everyone can't wait to buy wii music
Seriously, why should the billion-dollar profiteer woirry about such trivia?

"WAR is a racket. It always has been.

It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives"---Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler

One reason for Sony and Microsoft to be worried:

- Nintendo is beating the hell out of them. The Wii is whiping the floor with the PS3 and X360


Case closed.

To believe this reasoning, you also have to believe that the Xbox 360 is a serious threat to win first place this generation. Do any of you believe that?



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Nintendo has nothing to worry about.

Microsoft doesn't even believe that.
