Well isn't that the typical Microsoft opinion about everything ;)

In the midst of all that rehtoric I do think he has a point with this.
If you want to look at it that way then the wii is actually creating future customers for either Sony or Microsoft.... Unless the next Nintendo console tries to compete in the High Def high processor power field that Sony and Microsoft are fighting over now. -
I got a good laugh out of this though

:lol:
i had to post it somewhere -
There is a reason why the 360 is a colossal flop in Japan. The Japanese know what good games are, and they aren't FPS, or trash from Rockstar games.
If crap is "adult", then get me a diaper... -
And just because you don't like GTA does not make it crap. You can dislike something and still recognize that it is functionaly a good game. -
-
Just referencing the fact that the Japanese share my disdain for FPS and crappy American games in general.
I own a 360, and I can say it's hands down my least favorite system I've ever had (close 2nd is the original XBox). I haven't touched it in months. The only reason why I keep it around is because I never sell any of the systems I buy (I collect them). -
-
if only i was as good at recognizing good games like the japanese, perhaps my wii would get more use ... :cry: -
My point was about marketing and current gaming trends....... Though who knows, maybe the wii generation of gamers will be different. -
-
As for the Japanese know that American games are crap its 2 completely different markets with 2 completely different likes and dislikes. Just look at the RPGs, Japanese prefer more linear(FF) story lines while Americans like more open world sandbox type of RPGs(mass effect(even though bioware is canadian)).
In short, different strokes for different folks, no need to get angry or trash someones preferences. -

I never did like too many of the games made by American game companies, and I probably never will. IMO, they are very shallow, and value style over substance.JCowScot likes this. -

I played a lot of video games in H.S./College. I was a Nintendo/PS guy (Nintendo, Super, 64, PS1, PS2). In college I played too much Madden and NCAA it seemed like. My friends had X-Box's so I played a lot of Halo.
Well, I just went out and purchased an X-Box 360. I was told by GameStop, Best Buy, and Rhino Games employees that the X-Box 360 was the best console for gaming alone. PS3 was what I needed if I wanted all of the "features". I already have an HD DVD player, and that's fine. All I really wanted was the gaming.
I purchased Halo 3, pre-ordered Madden and NCAA. So far, I've been impressed. -
Yo get Gears of War, and Gears 2 when it comes out.

Well it is now official. That is a lot of consoles even if some say it isn't a direct competitor to the 360 or PS3.
"Nintendo said Thursday that its globally popular Wii has become the top-selling video game console in the United States, a crown coveted by rivals Microsoft and Sony."
Market-tracking firm NPD Group reports that 666,000 Wii consoles were sold in the United States in June, raising the total sales count in the country to nearly 10.9 million units.
