Hahaha.

I really don't know what to think of this.

Other than "ME TOO ME TOO"

Re: Sony praises Wii as well
 

Haha Dyne owning Sony. :D

Re: Sony praises Wii as well
 

So, if the Wii is the second system people buy after the PS3 and XBox360, doesn't that mean the Wii is really the first system...


/me shrugs and walks away

Re: Sony praises Wii as well
 

But Nintendo hasn't said anything about either of them, and if all the PS3 people buy a Wii, and all the 360 people buy a Wii, then together, then the Wii's will be double the sales of each (on average).

It's all faulty logic but they're basically building their hypothesis on the fact their consoles will each come in first.

lol how funny

Re: Sony praises Wii as well
 

Too late, Sony. Nintendo has already grown beyond your power. It needs the friendship of no one!

Re: Sony praises Wii as well
 

Ha, after they spend the first 5 minutes of their conference inferring the Wii is a gimmick.

Re: Sony praises Wii as well
 

its not a gimmick...but I dont think it's mainstream gaming either (unless you get a PS3 or 360 along with it)...there will always be room for the traditional controller-style system

Re: Sony praises Wii as well
 

Since it seems you can use the GC controller on Wii games via the 'cube area on the Wii, Wii technically is traditional :p

Re: Sony praises Wii as well
 

Of course there will always be room for the traditional controller. Just like there will always be room for the keyboard and mouse. I think that Nintendo's just showing that there's plenty of room for improvements/alternatives in terms of what can be done with controllers and how games can be played.

Sony called it a Gimmick, now they think it isn't after they got spanked at E3. I'll be getting a 360 and a Wii as of this E3 for a mix of "mainstream" and "gimicky" gameplay.

Nobody's ever missed a chance to criticize Nintendo for when they've made mistakes, it's our turn to gloat; butt out.

Re: Sony praises Wii as well
 

Did you just refer to yourself as Nintendo?



And the Wii will only do good because of the controller. And Nintendo knows that. Nintendo also knows that could be the reason they get ****ed in the ass, which is possibly why they're keeping the "You can use your GC controller!" option open.

And the reason (I believe) it's so cheap, is because it's barely a step up from a Gamecube. It's like an expansion for it. Much like the Expansion pack for the N64, except having nothing to directly do with the Gamecube.

I dont see Nintendo actually having a shot at competing with the 360 or PS3 game wise. Because as I stated before, people who like games with good graphics, will get one of those.

i wouldnt dare interfere...it's highly entertaining



how many times have people around here claimed not to be "Nintendo fanboiz", but now when yall think everything's rosy people start to say "our turn to gloat"

nothing wrong with it, just funny ;)

I like being a PC fanboy because you can't not win. The PS3 will be surpassed from a technical standpoint weeks before it is released. And keyboard/mouse is still the most intuitive setup on the market.

I love Nintendo’s franchise titles but Mario wii looks exactly the same as Sunshine, Metroid Prime 3 looks like 2 and 1, and so on. Maybe we’ll see some innovating games within the next few years. I bet Halo 3 looks like Halo 2 as well. Oh man, I can't wait. Grand Theft Auto and Metal Gear always add enough cool stuff to keep the games interesting though. And Nintendo always has its random titles, like Pikmin, that turn out to be much more enticing than Mario's 3rd rendition in 3D.
