@dragonsama: I don't disagree with anything you said, except for one thing: The original Wii. You said it had little to no 3rd party/AAA support. I guess maybe you're half right, AAA games weren't releasing in huge quantities on the Wii, but I wouldn't say it was "little to none." Seems like EVERYONE made a Wii game just because there was just such a HUGE install base. Probably why there were so many non-AAA games, because half the ppl that owned one were just casual gamers. But even the 3rd party devs/publishers were making quite a few games, albeit watered-down, just because (again) the huge install base. I remember CoD4 and I think even Cod World at War were released. Madden, Need for Speed, NBA games, The Sims, a few Tom Clancy games.........I'm just saying, if the install base is good enough, devs and publishers will support it.
I don't think Nintendo is giving up on the console market anytime soon. Their first party titles piss pure gold for the most part, and they are "system-sellers" or "killer apps" as some like to call them. Otherwise, I really don't have any arguments against the rest of your comments, they all hold water for the most part.
If they were to tell the truth, they would say, "We've boosted production of the Switch so that consumers will not buy other consoles this holiday season just because our artificial shortage of the Switch. It would have caused consumers to instead buy PS4's and, more so (because of it's launch), Xbox One X's. Previously, we purposely caused shortages of the Switch to create hype because 20 years ago, that's what worked in order to get people talking about your console, and we think it still works today. Had the new Xbox One X not been launching this fall, we most likely would've continued this artificial shortage just to keep people wanting a Switch simply because they are so hard to find. But had we continued that method against the Xbox One X release, I think this holiday season we would've seen a lot of lost revenue going to the Xbox brand instead."
Sorry, Nintendo fanatics, this is my opinion, and you can't change it. I have no proof to back it up, but I just can't help but think that Nintendo was feeding us a bunch of bull s*** for the first 5 months or so of the systems launch. It also seems VERY ironic to me that as soon as the Xbox One X's went up for pre-order, SUDDENLY Switches started showing up on store shelves on a consistent basis.
FYI: I own a Switch, and even with the lack of games for the first few months, I do love it. I bought it at the end of May, still right in the middle of the huge shortage. I just happened to walk into Best Buy on a Sunday morning and they still had a couple left over from the opening of the store that morning where they had people lined up outside waiting to get a Switch. I think it's a great product and I don't think an "artificial shortage" was needed to sell it (I think it would've sold just fine without the shortage), but perhaps Nintendo wasn't confident enough of the product because of the sparse game lineup for the first few months. Case-in-point: This article. Nintendo said they even raised their sales expectations for this fiscal year. Just more evidence to support my claim.
BTW: feel free to comment back at me. Just please, speak with intelligence. You only make yourself look immature and stupid if you make accusations against my personal life that you obviously know nothing about or you simply tell me to "gtfo nancy."
Such an old game, yet so worth re-purchasing again. I never re-purchased the PS3 release, but considering I haven't played this since 2007 on the PS2, a PS4 version will probably be a huge breath of fresh air compared to what I've played previously. Not hiding anything, I typically play on Steam or Xbox, but because of this one's exclusivity, it gives me a reason to fire up the PS4 a bit until The Last of Us 2 comes out.
The One X may do no better than the PS4 Pro, but at least they've made a huge effort to have a ton of supported games. Although I'm thinking at least a few from the "in development" list will never come to fruition
Quite a few good deals in here, but I've got way too many games in the backlog as it is, so nothing for me this time around (unfortunately). The Silent Hill deal should not be passed up for those looking for a creepy and amazing experience.
@beowulf1211: I love how all you can do is call me Nancy and make lame accusations that have nothing to do with the topic at hand. I have at least kept my argument of defending my opinion in the same ballpark as the article, which is essentially screen resolution and what it means to me. The last semi-intelligent thing you mentioned was a "fair argument for the PS4 Pro." I'll give you that, won't disagree. To each their own; different strokes for different folks.
But ever since then, you've come back with nothing but "pants down," "broken fingernails," & "gtfo nancy." When will you start saying anything intelligent? I'm not the smartest fellow on the planet, but your lack of contributing anything intelligent for the latter half of your comments is really not helping you in any way. If you really have nothing else intelligent to contribute, perhaps you should move on.
Obviously, getting the last word in is very important to you. So I'm going to let you have it. Just always remember though that you couldn't barely contribute anything else intelligent once you were done jerking off Sony in your disguised "I love all consoles" comment.
@beowulf1211: Not emotional. Just calling you out for being a closet fanboy and thinking your opinion can be pushed onto others. Sucks to be put in your place, doesn't it?
@LeoKRock: I think it's pretty awesome though that Xbox now lets you just hook a regular USB camera to the Xbox now if you wanna do game-streaming or skype video. Don Mattrick seriously almost completely ran the Xbox brand aground.
@playstationzone: Dude, did you straight use google translator or something? Very hard to understand what you're saying. But to clear things up, Xbox now allows the use of regular ol' USB web cams. Cool huh?
