Wii are are not found

Postby feilong801 » February 14th, 2007, 5:22 am

Microsoft certainly has the horses in the stable to have said amazing year. Halo 3, Mass Effect, Blue Dragon, even Crackdown.....

 

The only problem is, while those are all going to be amazing games, they aren't going to do for Microsoft what Nintendo has going for them: bigtime, mainstream mojo. The Wii is already a cultural phenomenon. If you don't like it, too bad: sometimes the things that become entrenched aren't things you like (disco, rap music, myspace, to name a few general examples).

 

I find it surprising that some of us still have a hard time understanding why Sony would be "the butt of jokes." First, everyone loves to take shots at #1. Second, everybody loves an underdog. Third, when that #1 that people are already kind of leery towards (because it is human nature to be a bit tired of a dominant competitor in anything; hence why people were happy that Patriots lost this year and happy the Colts won) starts to behave badly (terrible E3, super high price point, delays, extreme shortages, all while making extremely arrogant comments to the press), it makes it kinda obvious, doesn't it?

 

Truth is, the Critic is interesting because he isn't afraid to take firm opinions. It would be boring if he had no biases at all. If you want something else, go to IGN where the Sony people play only Playstation (mostly), and the Nintendo people play Nintendo stuff (mostly).

[QUOTE]Plus you know that there are going to be more exclusive games on the PS3 than the 360 because thats Sony's bread n butter. They know that, its their business plan for the past ten years and they are still sticking to it.[/QUOTE]

Eh, we'll see. Not many of the system-selling exclusives are made by Sony themselves, and a lot of companies arent interested in making exclusive Playstation games anymore. Happened to Nintendo, can happen to Sony, and unlike Nintendo, Sony doesn't have a lot of solid first party titles to depend on.

On the subject of Wiimotes, there were a whole bunch of them at my local EB Games when I went there today to buy a Classic Controller. If you're willing to pay european price for one, plus shipping, you might try looking into importing.


PS: R-Type is incredibly awesome and very much deserve the A(-) the Critic gave it. It's my favorite Virtual Console game at the moment (and it plays like ass without a Classic Controller, so get one of those).
