Halo is by far the most casual game series ever made, I dunno if I would call Mario hardcore, but its not casual.flclempire

Sony have done alot worse. The difference is this Microsoft have the rights to Gears of War. If it was a Epic/ Sony deal, it would be Sony owning the IP forever. I know which is alot worse. Lets also ignore all the money Sony would pump into a game for advertising to keep it exclusive. You do know that somes times advertising can cost $20M.

NIntendo are the worst of them all, their previous practices to keep exclsuives, is the most digusteing thing ever in video games history. So Sheep have no right to talk about Mcirosoft destroying the industry, you have already tried to do that.Using Illgeal means to killcompetition, hold back the industry and press the reset button for Nintendos $$$.

As much as Sony makes me sick, NIntendo made me choke in my own vomit, thats how bad they are.

i hate to say it over and over again but.

Mario Galaxy is pretty

and so is Metroid

So I can deal

All I have to say, is Nintendo lowered your standards.

Suprises me how blind people are. If company x is taking resources to make a waterdown game for a casual platform. Taking away resources to make an awesome game for the 360. Then yes it is effecting the games industry. When RE becomes on the rails and sheep accept this, then yes its very very bad for the industry. Worse that being sucha fanboi allows u to accept this. 1st they sell you a repackaged console then they offload repackaged games to you and you swallow it whole. Then you defend it to the death.

I have seen nothing good come of the Wii, only bad. I look at my RB6 and my Gears as an example of hopw gameplay has been dumbed down for the casual market. Now teh causal market is being overrun my non gamers whoare the botom of the gaming food chain. At least PS2 showed people it was a cooler thing to game. These were people taht were already gamers, but never really gave it much time or thought because of it image. Your non Wii gamer is someone who finds he controls too much too much to handle or really has no real interest in games. Board games or the non gaming crap on the ds. Which is also why DS and Wii does so well in Japan. It is also why I dont respect Japan as a gaming market. I respect the people, the artist and the devs. Just not the buying public, who gave up on od skool style games years ago. Nintendo admit, before anyone tries to comeback on it.

The Wii is more of a console than the 360 and PS3 ever will be. All because most of its killer apps are in the pipeline and aren't out yet doesn't mean it will stomp the other two any less. All it means is that very few people have the vision to see where the Wii was going 

By this time next year most 3rd party titles will be for the Wii, and we will be wondering how the 360 and PS3 can be considered next-gen when they are stick with obsolete controllers instead of real motion-point controls.

So you want video games to make zero progress? A controller can be released at any time for any console, HARDWARE cannot. You want last gen graphics and last gen physics, last gen AI and pretty much everything last gen except for a controller?

This could be a turn to the end of console gaming for hardcore gamers as it may make the competition dumb down the next gen of consoles just to appeal to the masses. So enjoy being flooded with games as deep as a puddle and floods of mini game titles being released while true gamers have to suffer

/end

As long as he gets Mario, Pokemon, SSBM, Zelda, etc, he like other sheep dont care. Thet wont care how waterdown a game becomes RE in case, as long as they can play with grandma or moms

[QUOTE="ps3-nikita"]I thought it was about the games and not how much casuals, let alone non gamers are suckered in by a console. Looks at the Wii games, did someone say the Wii won. If owning a Wii means I won, I much rather be losing with a 360.alecsuba

 Hooray lets try and compare a 19 month old systems release list to a 7 month old system.

That was a very weak comeback. I gave you a chance to list the quaity titles. Instead, you tried misdirection. Lets not forget that the Wii has plenty of Ps2, GC  and ds games to show the quailty of the Wii. Make a top 10 and se how many are ports or just Wi versions of ds or GC games.

Bottom line 360 had better games out in the same amount of time. Wii isnt selling based upon quailty of games made and designed for the Wii. Its marketing, sheep and a very good name in Nintendo. What other company, could try and overtake the sitting room or sell you a repackaged last gen system, with software upgrade and a new controller. The sad fact is gamers who try to defend the stance of the wii, just because they still get their fix of their fav Nintendo franchises. Then again it does play into the selfish nature of man.
