Where do you think Cammie came from? She destroyed Nintendo in the future so they ditched her to the past.

PSP?

do ppl hate cammie that much?

Saying those things are all copys is a bit of a stretch and obvious conjecture, and you didn't even address all of them. Even motion control was already out before. What these guys did right (and I mean everybody), is that they made these innovations the archetypes.

Both the xbox and 360 are successful for what they are intended to do. Cut out a slice of the livingroom for themselves. PS3 is one of the fastest selling consoles and has a lot of others beat out, and successfully won the HD war. So, as far what is good for the company, they were successful.

But you are right, Nintendo does take the risk, like someone would take a risk of missing with a shotgun, while sony and ms prefer to take the easier safer shot.

PS: I didn't know the psx was it's own console, I thought it was simply the japanese ps2. So, I guess they did have a failure.

PS2: I'm not trash talking Nintendo at all. I'm saying that down the line there is going to be a spree of innovations, and a lot of them are going to be failures because people think they have learned something from Nintendo's strategy. Even Nintendo said that they will have something different if everyone does motion control. Where is the correct "up" from here?

I call something tanked if it is quickly withdrawn from the market, never supported, or just generally a failure. I'm not going to argue semantics. I'm talking Power Glove-tanked.

EDIT: @rotsounmann

PSP is successful. It is a great product, has lots of games, and makes lots of money. It's not Sony's fault that the DS is so much better. It's the best Non-nintendo hand held ever released. Even then it comes close to beating both the gameboy gameboy color and gameboy advance if you look at the individual sales.

When it came about, Nintendo was at its weakest and Sony at its best. Nintendo absolutely turned things around and made PSP, and more importantly, the Playstation brand weaker, leading up to PS3.

Sure, but just because something is weaker than something else does not mean it is a flop.

PS3 is doing the way it is doing because of Blu-ray. Although Wii would have still blasted in out of the water, it would have still made lots of money, which Blu Ray will eventually do.

Nah. I may be the only one, but I really think PS3 slipped due to Microsoft being much stronger this gen (and came out first) and that the Playstation brand was - and is - way past its glory days.

BTW, I love your avatar

we'll see about that. It's anyone's guess really.

Nintendo almost always makes very calculated moves.

Creativity, and innovation... Sounds like a good combo.

I can't wait to see if that vitality sensor does anything to push the boundaries of immersion... as for me... just give me an online poker with that thing... with real money... and I'm hooked!!!!
