Well, when you buy the first run of anything there are going to be bugs, so those of you with your disc-molesting 360's, that's what you get. On the topic of 360's crashing, first run and it runs on a windows-based operating system....that explains itself. The supply will be kept less than demand so they can go for the '100% sold, sold out' marketing route to help keep demand up, shady, but it looks nice to see that 100%. I don't think the 360's launch will be very big in Japan, but Europe and America will remain M$'s strongholds for the 360.
Back in the Atari crash, it was more or less a monopoly on home consoles. Nowadays, we have three defined competitors and competition creates quality(....eventually). While that doesn't exactly apply directly, the big three will try to get developers to get some new content out there once the market for rehashes slows down. Gaming will crash just like the world ended in 2000
The overcrowding of Earth will give us a better reason to go into space and stretch out a little bit! This could make dating, child rearing pretty interesting too, because since you will age at 1/6th the rate, You'd have the body of a 1 year old child, but the knowledge of a 6 year old, while not much, that's gotta make you think, you have the knowledge that someone 18 or 30 would have and your body is 3 or 5 years old(Yes, I'm using solid numbers because I'm lazy). Dating would get interesting too, "So, how old are you?" -"108". Puberty too! You don't to have to go through that again....only 6 times longer! The pregnancy period for a woman, will it be 54 months now?! Mind boggling...
This man speaks the truth. Though this may sound fanboyish, but one cannot deny the incredible impact that Nintendo games he has listed(Oot, Mario 64, Pokemon gold/silver) and goldeneye were quantum leaps for gaming. GTA3 wasn't exactly the best game but it did make a huge shift in gaming. Grand Turismo, I had many friends who were glued to their PS2's w/ that game, it frustrated me......on multiple occasions.
Slowly but surely, people will return to Nintendo. Sony's choice to remove the PS3's router super powers is probably to cut back on it's production cost. Already costing them nearly $500 to make and selling for $400, they're gonna skimp on a feature or two to save some cash. Nintendo's gonna do what it's always done, make fun games. My friends and I have a short saying, "The level of fun rises exponentially to the number of Gamecubes present" and the same will be true for the Revolution. I feel Nintendo was right about the market not being ready for online, at least in the way that they pictured it. Nintendo wants everyone to play online, not some small percentage, like what is present for Xbox. While there's no denying that Xbox live was a good idea and really gave some steam to the online console market, it's not quite what Nintendo wanted, it's probably the reason they didn't support online play as much as we wanted with the Gamecube. Yes, Nintendo pissed off 3rd party developers....big time, now that has definitely cost them, they have learned from their mistakes. We have yet to see the revolutionary aspect of the Revolution(the controller), but it will for sure be interesting. One thing I really wish for is somehow, just somehow is to be able to trick the old games into thinking there is a player 2(or 3 or 4) hooked up, when it is actually an internet connected player. Come on, nobody can deny the allure of Ninja Turtles or Sunset Riders from the SNES, having it multiplayer with friends miles away.
