Xbox was made by a PC company, of course it was like that, nothing sony made did anything like the xbox.
The PS2 was a massive ripoff, even the gamecube was a better system than it. Sony lied about its specs, saying it would be multiple times more powerful than it actualy turned out.
I don't see how this illegitimizes what I said, Microsoft didn't do anything special was my claim.
NONE of the xbox 360 games require a download to the HDD, well except for a couple addons. take for example DMC4, the time it takes to download to the HDD on the PS3 does not come close to the time it takes to load the game the 5 or 6 times your actualy going to stick it in your drive. same goes for any game, there may be 1 or 2 games you will play enough to make the DL worth the wait, but for most I doubt even once. and MGS4 can be on the 360 and run good enough to not require any kind of major download. it should be optional 100 percent.
First off, you put 5 gigs of game onto the hard drive when you install content of DMC4, so it takes a while, and how many times you play is going to be up to the user, with an 80gig hard drive, what does it matter if you leave the data on forever? Its not unreasonable for developers to want it this way either, reading off disk is error prone and more time consuming, I recall hearing stings about the core xbox systems saying its going to effect development what with them not even being able to cache. Also, what are you, a developer at konami? if they want to port it it will happen, they are in the game to make money like any other buisness, but I wouldn't want to deal with the loading times considering the loading off disk already takes its time, not to mention content spread across disks. Why would it be optional? its up to the developer, not the user, they would know whats best.
You need to lay off the pipe there buddy. There are more great games on the Wii than the 360 and PS3 combined times 2. Im not saying there arent shit games on the wii, but what I am saying is Wii has alot more games worth playing than 360 and PS3. just cause the only wii game you played in the last year or two was SSB doesnt mean its the only good one that has been released. Ive named the many great titles to be released on the wii before, and guarantee they are way more fun than Halo or Resistance, or GOW. just because they are kiddy games doesnt mean they arent fun as fuck. Ive played hella kiddie nintendo games that beat the shit out of call of duty 1,2,3,4,or world at war. lets not even get into the shitty ass games like halo or final fantasy "insert number"
I still don't know of any real good games on the wii. what games are you talking about? I have played plenty of games for it. the zelda game was OK. the soul calubur game was atrocious. driver was OK. wii sports and play were OK as far as I'm concerned. thats to name a few. I've not run into anything overwhelmingly good. so give me titles. I seriously don't know anyone playing their wii... (I googled the conduit, looks cool, but if it plays like red steel did, who cares lol)
Contra was made by whom? not nintendo Ill tell you that much. that era was also the one in which the most shit games were ever released. you think wii has alot of shit games, holy fuck look at PS2 and xbox, that was the golden age of ET competition. Ive played some shit ass games that were "Best sellers" on the PS2, the 007 games, need I say more? shit Mortal Kombat had best sellers and according to people like you those were some of the worst mortal kombat games there have been. I was at gamecrazy looking at PS3 games, I saw 3 non sports games under 25 dollars. sports games dont count no matter how good they are. BTW I consider sports games NFL, NBA, MLB. so yeah, lots of 20 dollar ps3 titles. OH and I was looking at both new and used. wasnt shit worth getting outside of that motocross game for 20. and they already had that so, useless. I got my cousin GTA4 for 35, which is a fair price.
Xbox (original) had some of the most expensive controllers at the time. You said "Who started charging more for games first?" Mario 3 aparently cost 50 bucks, try inflating that to show its current day value. The Snes had tons of shit games, so did the 64, and the gamecube had lots of shit games too. the xbox had a good amount of shit games... the ps2 had shit games... are you saying nothing that NINTENDO made themselves has ever been shit?
"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_games_published_by_Nintendo " here's a list of nintendo published games, there is plenty of crap titles on that list. Sure, every Mario game is going to have been tested too many times to be crappy, but they have also released go no where titles.
Also, I'm still not sure sony lied about how powerful the ps3 was going to be:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=B3W&q=ps3+powerful+scientific&btnG=Searchits all about how you utilize it, I'm sure a game will come out that needs insane calculations, especially with DMM technology coming out. its all speculation as of right now, but Fallout 3 ps3 looks and runs just fine, as does the 360 version.
