PS3 sucks, XBox 360 sucks, Revolution sucks

[Paco]

I have all three consoles and still have about 30 GC games, give or take. Converserly, I only have about MAYBE a dozen Xbox games, could be a bit less than that.

I have about a dozen games on each console. My PS2 library is the only one I anticipate to grow before I sell it. I'm hanging on to my Xbox and GC in case something comes out of nowhere that I just have to have (I'll play Twilight Princess on my Revolution).

Fighting games are lacking badly on N64 and GC, but that's not why Nintendo is behind... that genre just isn't important enough (in marketing clout) for that, despite how much fun a good fighting game can be.

You missed the bigger point. It's that the GC is lacking a large selection in several genres. There just isn't enough to pick and choose from. Sure, there is a standout title or two to represent each genre but that just isn't enough if you want to appeal to the masses and their different (often times, questionable) tastes.

Ie: Yes, sure, of course, but you're not really saying anything here. What are you suggesting Nintendo do? Change the way it makes games, a way that overall works pretty well? That wouldn't be smart... sure, they should try to attract a larger audience, but it's absolutely crucial to also hold on to what they have, and that requires plenty of classicly Nintendo games.

No, they shouldn't change the way they make games. They should focus on keeping their fanbase satisfied, but broaden it with new development houses that don't think exactly like they do. Silicon Knights is a perfect example of a development house they should have kept around. From what I understand, they left because Nintendo wanted them to go the same route of making smaller, less complicated games. SK wanted to go the epic route. What's wrong with having both? Wouldn't people enjoy being able to choose from a quick pick up and play or a grand epic adventure?

That's exactly the saddest part: that you do not understand...

But really, what's so horrible about PC games, other than the fact that there are so many great games on it? I own more PC games than games for all consoles combined for a reason, after all...

Apparently you don't understand that I just don't care for it. I don't like sitting at a computer desk; I'd rather sit on the floor or couch in my living room.

I personally dont enjoy MMORPG's but many millions of people do, and the PC is the only real place to get that,

LOL. I suppose that depends how deep and customizable you want your MMORPG. Phantasy Star and Final Fantasy XI are perfect examples of MMORPGs that work on the console.

Like you, I don't care for them.

OH, and as for 'people who don't like Mario', Nintendo's solution in Japan is their DS Touch Generations lineup, of mostly productivity or small-game stuff aimed at adults. It's just too bad that some of the titles are untranslatable (English-Japanese dictionary and practice your kanji, for instance...) and most of the rest have just been dropped, but that's one problem Nintendo has: caring about Japan first, and the rest of the world maybe (ie if Nintendo truly wanted to do in the US as it has in Japan with the DS, they'd actually be making an effort to get more of those cross-generational titles out here. They aren't.)...

Yeah, I've noticed, and I'd like to see more. I'm really hoping that Nintendo was on the up and up when they said there will be new franchises on the Revolution.
