Quote:50%? Are you nuts? The SNES sold better than the Genesis near the end of its life.
True. Okay, by late 1995 when the PSX came out here it was over 50% worldwide. But not so dramatically that they dominated the industry, for sure... Sega was strong competition. There is nothing like that in handhelds. All the others failed.
Quote:I did not ignore that point! In fact, I addressed it at least twice!!! The PSP will be the next-generation of handheld gaming, which is why Nintendo is prepping another handheld to compete with the PSP! AS I SAID BEFORE, does the N5 have no chance of being a success because the PS2 has such a large userbase? NO!!! And why is that? BECAUSE IT WON'T BE COMPETING WITH THE PS2, IT WILL BE COMPETING WITH THE PS3!!!! Are you really that naive??
EVERYTHING that you are saying is under the assumption that the PSP will be a complete battery-hog, and I seriously doubt that will happen. Sony is not stupid, they know that if the battery life isn't good then it will fail! You are are grossly underestimating Sony here.
It will still compete with the GBA. The GBA will be 3 1/2 years old -- not at the end of its life cycle yet (the GBC's 2 1/2 year cycle excluded... that was too short...). Yes, the PSP is far more powerful... but as the console market has established many times, POWER ISN'T EVERYTHING. Game library, price, battery life, etc... other things matter more.
Otherwise we'd be playing ... uh, Neo-Geo Pocket Colors and Turbografx Portables...
Quote:I was talking about BT, although that game does have less "jumping puzzles" than BK (but still much more than Dk64). There is some switching in the game, but it isn't nearly as frequent as it is in DK64.
You were talking about where? This arguement is a mess... can you quote it or something then? :)
Oh, and IMO B-T's switching is more annoying because, as I said, in B-T you just switch to to a task then switch back... it seems kind of pointless... while in DK you have a even spread of tasks and powers across the characters. SUre, you don't spend much time in other forms in B-T, but IMO its comparitively more annoying than switching in DK64... because I just didn't think that the switching was a problem in that game. You have plenty to do in each character... its not like you switch constantly. Well, I don't.
