lol. No offense taken. Fox and Ravens Send a noteboard - 22/09/2010 07:11:45 PM
Or last night, or whatever. It is making a smaller splash than I could have possibly imagined so far. Most hardcore gamers, as far as I can tell, haven't realized it's coming out and.or don't care, and casual gamers, which this is... sort of marketed to, definitely don't know that it exists. I hope someone over in Sony's marketing is getting fired right about now.

Thoughts? Anyone really even realize it was just released? Actually buy it?

EDIT:

And when I say today, I mean several days ago. Hah.

The Sony...what? Oh yeah! I think we were making fun of the name like...last month or something. No casual games have a $600 console. Forget that. I'm kinda glad it's failing. I almsot hope the kinect fails too but that's too much to hope for with all the 10 year olds on xbl.

Nintendo was the real innovators here! Everyone else said they'd fail. I mean, bad graphics for a motion sensor and a cheaper price point? What are they thinking?? But look now! Everyone is imitating them. It's because Nintendo is just reaaaally good at what they do. I love you, Nintnedo.


To be honest, I don't even have a wii. My sister does. I have an xbox. But seriously. Everyone ripped on the wii for it's trade of graphics for motion detection and now everyone's putting in motion detection. It's pretty obvious who's better here.

On top of that, you always have problems with sony or microsoft system. PS2 and 3 were too bulky so they lightened it up. My friend used his ps3 as a space heater. The lighter version sony made was cooler. The first xbox...wasn't bad. the 360 though, they jsut released their third version. Cause they couldn't get the other 2 right. You had the RoD and microsofts WONDERFUL return policy. (i.e. yeah, send it in for repairs but it'll take a you a month or two to get it back...and it might not even be fixed that first time, either!). The new xbox isn't magnificent either, after having just bought it because my 360 crapped out. It's terrible.

They have 2 versions of wii. The difference is the color. Nintendo products just don't break. They work like they're supposed to work and you aren't expected to send it in for repairs after a year. Guess what I was using in the meantime between my old and new xbox? My n64. The thing still runs like a champ. I know everything is "upgraded" now and more crap is thrown into our hardware and software but when it runs, I don't want to buy another in a year's time. I want to own the same thing and be able to play it in...at least 5 if not 10 years.

So, I'm not a fanboy. I just really don't like the companies of microsoft or sony.
Go Hokies!

CS/CpE. Yay engineering!
