Excellent stuff :D

I bet Ben from Bizarre on the forum got a b*llocking :D

Not half!

There may have been an element of truth to the initial story, but MS have said "Now that you have come out and said that, you have absolutely got to make sure you can race at any time of day.

Conjecture of course.

Am really looking forward to PGR4. Whilst I thought PGR3 was ace, Bizarre themselves said that is was a tad rushed to make it for launch, this time round they have pretty much as long as they like

Isnt this the reason why people tip the PS3 to be market leader this time round again? Due to M$ cock up?

The storage problem has already affected Gears & Oblivion - its obvious that as games more more complicated, they need more space to house all that info, Ms may well have made a balls up on when thet thought the info needed for a game was going to exceed its storage capacity.

Don't think this is the reason why people tip the PS3 though, I think its probably the whole package in general.

the market leader isn't Xbox360 OR PS3

Personally, I wouldn't put the Wii in the same market.

I agree, as much fun as the wii can be its not the serious gamers choice console

By "market leader", I assume he meant video game console market, and the Wii is clearly leading it.

Agreed, its not cutting edge graphics, but Nintendo aren't going after eye candy, and focussing more on gameplay. Well done I say.

Besides, what is a "SERIOUS GAMER" ?

True, they're all games consoles, but you want to put a Wii in the same bracket as a 360 and a PS3 then you'll have to start putting handhelds into the equation too - as "something you can play games on".

All of the big graphically rich games are appearing on the 2 big-hitting consoles or the PC, I'm not hearing rumours about whether or not Crysis is coming to Wii.

I applaud Ninty for doing something different - but if it wasnt for that controller they'd have probably been stuffed.

Don't forget that apart from the controller, Nintendo also have a refreshing philosophy when it comes to games - I'm a huge Zelda and Mario fan, and I thank god Nintnedo aren't like the competition in their pursuit of realism and eye-candy. There's room for both types of games and I love Nintendo for offering that option.

For every Gran Turismo, there HAS to be an Ocarina of Time :)

How many times and on how many consoles can Nintendo release Zelda and Mario tho ?

answer = as many times as they like :lol1:

By the same rationale, do you think they should have stopped making The Simpsons TV show after, say the 4th season, or do you enjoy it as much today as you did 20 years ago when it started ?

The new ones aren't as good. There is a sweet spot beyond which you shouldn't go, but when your still making money from it it's hard to stop :)

Zelda and Mario both made the shortlist for the Game Critics Awards Best Games of E3 2007 this year - Zelda WON its category. Forget your sweet spot theory - I want Mario & Zelda! :luxhello:
