Bolded part: It would help if you understood (or expressed it) the context of what your talking about, In that time developers were jumping to PC builds and console gaming was all but dead in the US, those same bully tactics didn't become negative until the SNES era to which both Sega and Nintendo practiced it - the age of exclusivity. Even then many of the gamers who were around for those times would argue to the grave that the content of the games back then surpassed games today in accomplishing a singular goal; being a game. But that's pretty subjective anyway however even developers under such "bully tactics" have stated that the competition within platforms (As well as technological limitations) forced them to do their best work. (Chrono Trigger interview)

So though your reffrencing in that comment in whole is true from the context of those times in relation to the point your making is exposes it as slander.

I'm sorry, I need to clarify myself, I was refering to progressive hardware innovation and advancement, not software which expirienced some of its greatest innovation in those days, partly due to limited tools and resources thats forces developers to innovate just to stay ahead of the pack and partly because back then its easier to be innovative due to the relative youth of the industry.

Hardware was a different story however... I think you can admit that the NES was getting a bit long in the tooth when SNES was finally released and the only reason Nintendo released it was at that time they did was because Sega finally made a strong enough market penetration to give them some competition.

hhhmmmm, I would do what i did when the dreamcast died, i would buy a 2nd hand sony console and every game i got for my 2nd hand sony console would be 2nd hand too (Line sonys pockets directly? NEVER)

I'll always buy Nintendo machines due to the sheer amount of respect i have for them due to thier immense contribution to the gaming world

So in conclusion i would be a supporter of Nintendo but would own both consoles (Nintendo's one i would pay for full price with cold hard cash, Sonys one 2nd hand with traded games and dvd's)

 

I did the same thing when the DC died.

I hope this doesn't happen. I like Fable on my console. :(

That game would probably go PC only.

Although if I had to choose, I would go with Sony.

Not really a big MS fan though, but I love my Dell look-a-like.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

Nintendo. i doubt I'd be a big fan of the wii as the current games are not to my taste yet.. but the DS can't be beaten right now interms of the sheer amount of good games on it
