Yeah... maybe in eight years Nintendo will figure out the concept of "patches" and "addon downloads", maybe... if they decide to.
Of course, that would require things like "a storage solution with actual space on it", so they couldn't do it right now...
They've been saying that for a while now I think, with no results. My expectations are minimal at this point. I hope they do... but with how long it's been, I don't know if they will anytime soon.
This is true. Last week, the 360 even managed to beat the Wii in sales in Japan (not the DS, though, that outsold the Wii and 360 combined), while the PS3 trailed far behind. It's still well behind in last there, but if this bounce can last, pushed by Infinite Undiscovery, Tales of Vesperia, and Star Ocean 4 (and The Last Remnant before the PS3), it would be interesting... that certainly is a good lineup that should draw people, and it clearly has, to some extent.
Nobody should forget, though, that the DS won this console generation years ago. The rest of it's just a battle for second place (which the Wii is winning handily, despite the 360's quite nice boost in sales thanks to the long, long-awaited real price drop). :)

Quote:Well at any rate, Nintendo has recently announced an upcoming solution to the hard disk problem. ...That sounded menacing...

Quote:The thing is, the 360 sales have been jumping up ever since that price drop in Japan. At this rate, Nintendo may need to start paying attention. Also, it appears 360s don't randomly decide to stop working any more.
