The Next-Gen Giants Speak Out

[Dark Samurai]

It sounds like Iwata is saying that Nintendo will once again make their own discs for the Revolution...

...Nintendo a niche player, my ass...

[MuGen]

Iwata is using standard DVD discs..... He said he's not adopting HD-DVD or Blu-Ray because they are going to use that money towards other stuff.

But in the heat of battle, things will be said about the competition. I never usually take what Robert Bach or Iwata say about the PS3 whole heartedly. I bet yo don't either when they talk about the Rev.

Of course not, they have a product to sell.

This is just a terrible quote. Hey Kenny Boy, when GameCube and Xbox were launched, they were a lot more expensive than PSX, but they outsold them too! You know why? Because not every ****ing family already owned one, that's why.

Yea...I had to re-read that several times to make sure it was really as stupid as it sounded. I mean it wouldve made a little more sense if he had said Nintendo 64.

Yeah, exactly. I mean, if you're going to brag about being expensive within a relatively similar time frame and still outselling, then he can brag. But when they are completely different generations of systems... come on, Kenny! There are lots of great things PlayStation has accomplished that you can boast about! You don't have to sink to that level.

Nintendo again stays a little less rough then others Doesnt matter to me. I'll probably get at least the 360 and Revolution since their price will seem at least NORMAL. PS3 will probably be way too far out of my budget for now (now meaning next year)
