Xbox 360 Launch: Success or Mess?

[A Black Falcon]

Sometimes it's better to just leave some things out. Ever watch a really disgusting movie and thought you would have been just fine without having seen a particular part? Conker didn't suffer, it was still plenty explicit.

No. People should be allowed to make the product they want to make... yes there should be some limits, but they don't apply here. What, exactly, is gained by bleeping out much the Great Mighty Poo's songs (for instance)? Nothing, that's what... it just shows how much Nintendo has changed from the SNES days... it is odd to have the less censored version of a game on the Nintendo platform, for people who remember Nintendo's NES/SNES stuff, and Nintendo self-censors its own games, but seem to be much less strict with third parties... they don't do the whole "you can't release that game in this region because we say so" thing Sony does with PSX/2 games, they don't censor nearly as much (GC had the least censored version of BMX XXX I think...), etc... of course, they did not publish Conker, Rare did that itsself, and they did not advertise it in Nintendo Power, but those are reasonable moves to protect its image... and the game was still released.

Let the Halo fans have their Halo. Let the PDZ fans have their PDZ. Why can't one console have both?

Because more PD fans probably have GC, not Xbox, and most Halo fans have Xbox... and the two are different kinds of FPSes. So doesn't it make sense that PDZ will do worse on the console full of Halo fans than it would on one full of people who loved Rare's previous FPSes?

Nintendo did pretty well it's first two generations, too.

Uhh... notice my point about "mistakes"? As I said, it takes both mistakes from the leader and good moves from the followers... I didn't think it was necessary to elaborate, given how well-known the facts about what happened with PSX vs N64 should be...

Unless you are implying that Sony is making mistakes? I don't see them doing that... not really...

You're not going to gain any ground with me on this arguement. You might as well save it.

That sure doesn't make your point make one bit more sense, to say the least... it's just a tactic used to discredit Nintendo, simple as that.
