heihei said: gebx said: It's taking it out of context, that MS dude basically stated that a new generation of kids are being brought into the gaming world through the Wii. When those kids grow up they'll want something else. How many 14 year old would choose Mario over Master Chief. Microsoft is stating that they'll want to get something that's not so family friendly. "Yo dude, come over to my house after school, we can play some Paper Mario after my sister and her friends are done playing Wii Sport" that happens because almost every 14 years old boys have identity problems and have to play more "adult" games, so they can fell more "adult" and be part of the group =) when you get older you go back to mario and forget master chief
BenKenobi88 and heihei - True when you get older you go back to Mario. You start looking for more substance.

That's so typical, come on now, any brat that feels like he has to prove something goes and gets a 360 it's "sicking" (I don't even know if that's a real word) WOW!, you can shoot things on a game so your an adult now!!! Great message to send! And come on what GREAT game is on the 360 where you don't A. Shoot things or B. Kill things? (I mean million sellers) And I'm sure someone is going to say "Madden" that's the only one and it's a sport, that need to quit talking trash cause they are mad about being beat by what they consider to be a inferior machine. 14-17 is Microsoft's main crowd along with all the other guys with testosterone problems.

First off, I'd say about 1 of every 9 or 10 Halo 2 games I play is actually full of racist bigots, most games people don't say jack outside of the occasional "fuck". Secondly, and more importantly, I've run into British kids who trash talk like it's their job, just as I've run into Canadians and Americans who are the same. Do you actually know all these kids are white, middle class american teenagers, or do you just assume this?

I have to say i played 3 games of Halo 2 online....................................awful I could barely make it through them these people were sreaming all types of stuff cursing all over the place and yelling N00B every chance they got it was a horrible showing of the Xbox live crowd, I'm not saying everyone who plays Live is like that but alot of people are.

I would say that's true of the middle school crowd. 14-year-olds have huge self esteem issues, they want to be part of the cool group, and they DON'T want to be associated with anything that might be "uncool" (according to other 14-year-olds). Unfortunately for Nintendo, they do carry the "kiddie" image. It doesn't matter if there are mature games available for the Wii, Nintendo's franchises are "fun for all ages", or, in middle-school terms, "lame". So I agree, when you turn 14 you'll want something else. But when you turn 17, hopefully you'll realize you just want to play fun games, and you'll pick the console that has the games you want to play. Note: This doesn't apply to all 14-year-olds. When I was 15, I couldn't wait to get my N64, and couldn't care less if people thought it was "uncool". I was "uncool" anyway, and had plenty of "uncool" friends.

how pathetic is that. im 17 and the wii was my only option. not because im not allowed to get the "big boi" consoles (ha, if thats what you call them. how about the rich boi yet stupid boi consoles) but because i really wanted it. screw the other systems, wii is not for babies, thats just fanboys that argue stupid shit. the wii owns. "Whoops. We must've missed that memo. And so did our parents." aparently, that guy agreed.



A delayed game is good someday, a bad game is bad forever.

I can see now that Microsoft has actually realised that the Wii IS selling. So on that day they decided to bash Nintendo instead of Sony. Makes a change in my book!



Good to see this site is still going

Very good post. Sony and Microsoft now realize that they bet on the wrong horse (HD, better graphics) for this generation. But it's too late for them anyway to get back in this race. Their hardware and software cannot compete with the Wii. That's why Nintendo was always saying that they won't compete with Sony/Microsoft in this generation. Nintendo has set a new standard and the "competition" has become irrelevant.
Can't blame them though. Wheen they produced them, they thought that it would be the asselling point. With the PS1 and 2 it was. They didn't factor in that Nintendo would flip everything with the Wii.

Microsoft is spot on with this. When the NES was introduced the average gamer's age was probably 10 or 12. Now it is 21, b/c these kids are grown up and want to continue with the same kinds of toys that they have used previously, but in a more adult fashion, obviously.
