Then I officially predict that it will hopefully be a failure. Though I've done that prediction a few times before already. =P

While I do agree this is mostly for mainstream gamers who won't care about the lag, I have to say they will care about something: Price. There's no way mainstreamers are going to drop $300 (I'm going to guess this thing is going to need a HDD, but I could be wrong) plus ~$100 for the cam. Not when they can pick up a $200 Wii, with very similar games, and get everything in the box. People should just face it, the Wii won the mainstream audience this gen and nothing is going to change this.

The Natal-hate on VGC is epic.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

so insomniac is basically expressing that they will concentrate support for the PS3 in the future.

LOL....I cannot remember a non-Sony game from them. It's kind of obvious they will continue to make games for Sony. They've been making games exclusively for Sony since the first Playstation without being owned my Sony.

The Wii-Mote didn't revolutionize anything either, its a gimmick that will be replaced when Nintendo finds something more shiny to sell. The good old controller was designed for console gaming in mind, it simply is the best way to controle a console game. The Wii-Mote wasnt designed to work better for consoles, it was designed to do something else so that Nintendo didnt have to fight the same battle as Sony and Microsoft (which they lost to only PS2 lastgen) and it worked. So I agree with Insomniac although my reasons are different, gaming politics forbid them from really giving an answer.

Thats classic.

 

also, fixed for accuracy.

 



“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.
