| Yeah, Nintendo needs to go back to the basics: Making games that dont suck, and not doing business with sucky third party developers. I'm looking at YOU EA games. |

...Of course, by taking EA away from any system you'd instantly cripple it since EA and EA Sports = huge profits.  |

Oh really? Let's go over the grand list of console problems over the last few years. Xbox 360: Will sell two different models, and games will most likely require goods from the "filled" model. We'll see. PSP: Disc ejection in older models, Square button randomly does not work. 5000 units recalled earlier this year. PS2: Lens will go faulty, and games will have a hard time being read, sometimes not affected, or will not work at all. A new model fixes this problem, (I think) and does not have support for the HD. At this point, FFXI cannot be played on a new model PS2. Dreamcast: Somewhat bad controller design, and not really getting any games to aid the system. Although, it's Sega, and the console was doomed to fail anyway. PS: Overheating on older models, I think there were 7 models of this system overall. Newer models don't have a periphial port, and will not allow game shark use (no lost sleep here). Virtual Boy: ...existing. N64: Not being a CD system, cartridge space quite limited compared to the competition. It would get an expansion pack that is used for some more intensive games (Donkey Kong, Perfect Dark, LoZ: Majora's Mask, etc). This does not include the add-ons that the US never saw, and were only sold in Japan. (They bombed that badly I guess). Was I supposed to point all that out to make my point about Microsoft making a bad busniess decision? I thought pointing out somewhat obvious information was considered spam, and you guys don't like that? You complain for the sake of complaining, Yiffy Kitten...

Originally posted by Yiffy KittenSee, if Microsoft wasn't so FUCKING GOOD at what they do, then they wouldn't be around. You can only make money in today's society if you sell things REALLY CHEAP, or sell things REALLY GOOD. And Microsoft products are hardly cheap. They must be making money SOMEHOW. If only you know-it-all fanboys could figure out why! What? In a perfect world, yes. But we don't live in a perfect world. In addition, I'll give you some examples of bad products that made it big. Windows 2000. Windows XP. OS/2 OS X Tiger (why would you add an OS that adds like three features?) Windows 2003 Server Microsoft product x. You see, Yiffy Kitten, advertising is a big factor in everything. EVERYTHING. If it weren't for advertising, by word of mouth, on TV, on the internet, or otherwise, we would still be using Windows, I won't deny that. However, M$'s cut throat deals that allow them to buddy up with hardware companies made Microsoft the biggest software company on the planet. There is no denying this; do you think there was anything better about the original Windows than the other Apple OS's? Hardly; they both had advantages and disadvantages, but you could use both to do the same thing, at the time. It's all the deals that MS made, that put them on top. This DOES NOT MAKE THEIR PRODUCTS BETTER. Furthermore, what's a Nintendo GS? Why is it a piece of crap, and how would you know? What're the intherint PSP flaws? Also, OH MY GOD TWO DIFFERENT XBOX 360'S. >8( Oh, and Apple's going to win the market with OSx86. (edited by windwaker on 08-24-05 12:54 AM) (edited by windwaker on 08-24-05 12:55 AM) |

| I should've killed this thread long ago. It's turned into precisely what I expected, a metric fuckton of bashing. *Casts LOK2 on thread* |
