Nintendo Wii beat PS3 at sales.

Sony stinks. All they want is money and I found that out when they joined with nintendo for awhile.:)
 
^ Do you ever stop bashing the PS3? Good grief, its one thing to comment once in a while, (such as a new thread) but do you have to do it in ever post, in this thread?

I may not favor Nintendo, but I'm not commenting nor bashing it (anymore). Its just different. I still like PS3 more, and there's all that's to it.

Jeez, people are allowed to like different things, you know?

Fanboys are sad. Just sad.
 
1. He knows, he has his own oppinion, as do you.
2. He is not bashing it, he is expressing how he feels towards it
3. He is not a Fanboy.

Sony doesn't stink!!! Sony rocks (*NerdyPerson added to Sony fanboy list* łoł). But who cares ... I just like Sony. Anyway ... everyone wants just MONEY!!! And it is nothing to be surprised. Anyway Wii haves "nunchaki" which are REALLY good idea, while XboX(360) and PS(3) haves awesome graphics. Now it depends on you, which one you want more. Well ... Sony doesn't stink in anyway. Sony Ericssons are 2nd best mobile phones and they do good mp3 players, TVs, ... They are just not so original with playstations.
 
Sony doesn't suck. They want money just as much as Microsoft and Nintendo and every other flipping organization/company/union out there. Sony did an AMAZING job with the PS2, but I think the PS3 just wasn't ready for this generation. There's no reason to say Sony sucks, because they don't, and sales will still say they don't. People just aren't turned on to spending that much money on a system when it offers as much as the others, and the others are cheaper. I can easily see the PS3 picking up some ground once the latter half of this year's games hit, because then lots of other people will find games on it to like. Plus, if Hi-Def movies end up taking over normal DVDs (which I predict won't happen for at least 4-5 more years; another reason I think Sony should have waited on their Blu-Ray player) then it turns into a really cheap Blu-Ray player AND a gaming system.

I may not favor Sony's decisions about the PS3, but I don't think Sony sucks. Heck, if I had the money I'd have all 3 systems. I just don't understand why some people think that only one company has to be "teh ub3r aw3some!!!" and the others are "teh sux." They all have their distinct audience to target, and if you happen to be lucky enough to utilize the PS3 for what it has to offer, then go for it. Because I've seen a PS3 with 1080i on a 40" TV and it is B-A-Utiful.

You don't think Nintendo is soaking money out of us? Just look at the VC. With the exception of the N64 games, those are ridiculously priced. Sure, the more popular titles and rare titles may be worth it, but let's just look at Super Mario Bros. I can name 6 different versions of that SAME GAME that's been released off the top of my head, and I can think of more versions for the original Mario Bros. LttP has been released on SNES, GBA, and now VC. OoT has been on the N64, GC, and soon to be on the VC. Wii Controllers and nunchucks are sold separately. Remotes don't have rechargable batteries. Pokemon always comes in at least two versions with a third "new and improved" one after it. Nintendo remakes games for the GBA, then releases them in a collection on the DS later. Should I continue, or have I made my point yet?

Trust me, they're soaking money out of you just as much as the others. It's impossible to ignore if you have some sort of knowledge about marketing. It's your own fault for giving into them, so blame yourself for not being smart enough to reason when you buy stuff from them.
 
Yes I do believe that Nintendo also wants money but at least they do it in a friendly/family wise theme so that nobody gets mad/suspicious. Sony just asks for a lot of money and they have nothing to show for it except VERY good graphics and super cool games. Who really cares??

dmaster out.
 
They release same versions on the game boy so you can play it on the go or play it when someone is watching TV. That is why they do that.:)
 
^ All Game Boys are for on the go, or to play at home. The only difference, is SP folds. :p

And Nintendo does this, to get money, *gasp* ^o^ There exaclty like Sony! o.0
 
I am glad that they have most of the games re made on the game boy because the ones they do have on the big systems you can't play the same game as long as on the game boy.:)
 
The fact that you aren't complaining about the remakes is irrelevant. It still stands that Nintendo still sees a LOT of additional money from remaking those games. I'm not complaining in regards to the Final Fantasy series, as playing those on the go is awesome. Plus the FF remakes usually add additional dungeons/more storylines/additional characters, so it's all good. I am referring to games that have two versions, games that re-release with "updates" two years later, and the other peripherals that Nintendo makes to soak more money out of you.

Case in point: Remember when Nintendo released the NES Classics games for the GBA? Those old-school Nintendo games were priced at $20, and those included games like Castlevania, Zelda, Super Mario, and other games. Look, not two years later, they release them again on the VC for a measly $5. Same with LttP; released on GBA (with an additional multi-player game but, oh wait, you had to have a cable and another friend to play it) and now it's on the VC for $8. They release their amazing franchise games over and over AND OVER again and make money off of each of them. Sure, Nintendo's making sure that everyone can enjoy the game somehow, but they lose absolutely NO MONEY releasing games for the VC out of their own party developers.

So when it comes down to the bottom line: Nintendo goes after money, money, money just like every other company. Your opinion of how they do it doesn't change the fact that they are still doing it. It's not wrong, but you can't blame your opposition (Sony) for doing it without acknowledging that your position (Nintendo) does too without getting retaliated at. That's flawed reasoning.
 
I think the past games on the Wii should be completely free because they are releasing the same ones. I can see your point on the Wii but not for the GBA.:)

Yea, the big N (2nd name for Nintendo in my country :D) was more original with N DS and N Wii. The whole company risked with that. But they did the most pop consoles ever made. But Sony (again) "stupidly" just made great graphic and nothing new, nothing great, nothing that you would say "PS2/Wii/... is great but ... PS3 haves lalalala I really got to buy it, even if it will cost me my last money". PS3 haves nothing original, ... Well, sure it haves Blu-Ray player and many people says it is/will be the cheapest Blu-Ray player for many years, but it is not worth to give $500 for player thing that is playing some format that isn't even out yet.
BTW: Sony have $304 lost for every sold PS3. Don't say it is too expensive now. łoł. It is true, I read it in OPS2 (Official PS2 magazine)

Uh, Blu-Ray movies are out...it's not a propriatory format yet, but they're sold at local stores everywhere. I still agree though, the PS3 has very little to offer for such a steep price. Perhaps later down the road it'll be worth it, but by then the other two consoles will have gotten a major head start.
 
Well ... They aren't selling Blu-Rays and/or HD DVD here in Slovenia yet. We are so small. We get EVERYTHING months later ... Pokémon sets, other cards, movies, ...
Anyway ... I don't have neither PS3, neither Wii. Wii was sold in two hours, while PS3 isn't even here yet. And PS3 haves some software mistakes now. They got to fix it until march

X BOX and XBOX360 have a similar problem to that. It costs microsof 4 million dollars a year to make the system and that has been happening since XBOX came out in 2000. I heard that on game on the unoffical history of video games on CNBC last year.:)
 
I think what he's saying is that, although it costs Microsoft nearly 4 million dollars to produce the systems, they aren't really losing much money when it comes to resale value. Sure, the console itself might be losing profit for them, but that happens pretty much with every console. They rely on consumer demand and a BUNCH of peripherals and add-ons to help make up for it. Plus, Microsoft has so much money right now, Bill Gates blows his nose on 4 million dollar bills...which ironically has the president of Sony Entertainment's face on it :p.

$304 is a LOT of money to lose out on per system though. But once Blu-Ray gets into the mainstream a bit more (if that ever happens) the players will cost less to make, allowing the PS3's price to drop. That, of course, is assuming that the one TRUE reason the price is so high is due to the Blu-Ray player. I mean look around. Nowadays you can get a decent DVD player that does basic functions for about $30, where as four years ago that same exact DVD player may have cost near $100.
 
That is alot to keep it going though.:)
