The Wii remote isn't near as significant because it has just as many limitations as advantages..nothing has changed.
If you ever hold a wiimote you would have noticed things did change. You definitly experiance the games in a other way than with a traditional controller.
Do you honestly think the only thing better about HL2 compared to Doom1 is the graphics??
In the end playing doom or hl2 still comes down to exactly the same thing. Use your mouse and keyboard to move and shoot some enemies. Sure more things have changed but the basics of interaction are still the same.
More advances have been made through stronger hardware then has been with new controllers, or did you forget about the Power Glove??
I was already waiting for you to mention the power glove
anyway you didnt read my post very good because I said at this moment nintendo feels there is more gain in a new controller method than in more processing power. And without D-pads and analoge sticks gaming wouldnt be what it is today, that had some big impact too.
Thats wrong, with increased power does not only come better graphics..thats Nintendos thinking which you have swallowed up too easily. Better hardware means larger worlds, better animation, better AI, better physics..
You should have read my post a little bit better. Like I said, nintendo feels that the things you mention are already able enough on current gen hardware. Sure you can always improve things. You could go as far as wanting every grain of sand to move realistic but you should wonder if that is something most gamers will care about. Nintendo feels that changing the way you interact with a game will have a bigger impact that improving on gfx, animation, physics etc.
Dont EVER bring up Japan's gaming habits again, its the most illogical assumption you can make or do you want to play Dating Sims too? Its always been known that Japans impressions of games is vastly different then the rest of the world. Have you even seen half of the games that come out over in Japan, obviously you haven't or you wouldn't have subjected yourself to using
The majority of games sold in Japan really isnt that different from what we play. Take a look at the top25 of games sold each week and that basically is more or less the same type of games that we play.
People dont buy a Double Cheeseburger from MC'ds because they like the taste they do it because if they only have 3 dollars 3 double cheeseburgers is a better deal then a 4oz steak.
So you are trying to tell me that people each year spend large amounts of money on MC'ds but they actually dont like the food and dont want to eat it? maybe Im just a idiot but if they dont like the food than why dont save the money untill they got enough to buy food they do like?
I wonder if you ever had to choose between something you wanted and something you could afford?
Yes, often. And if the product I could afford didnt get me what I want from it I would save my money untill I could afford the product that offerd me what I wanted.
Once again Nintendo's PR has you, who do you think REALLY wants its customers to be happy?
Uhm... yes? if nobody would be happy with the product they bought from nintendo than do you think nintendo would still be in business?
Nintendo who is making profit off of the console off the bat, or the other 2 companies who are losing money off the bat to give people something better for their money?
The only reason ms and sony are losing money on their console is because nobody would buy it at the price it would cost to make profit.
EVERYTHING nintendo has released in the last decade has been crappy products because they wont compete with anyone and only want to focus on profits!
So you cant have a good product if your not competing with someone? aha... pretty dumb dont you think?
The GBA using SNES hardware when the PSP was around the corner with PS2 type hardware? How about the N64 using Carts when obviously CD's were around the corner? What about the Cube using a closed format when DVD's were becoming cheap and were superior in capacity?
All those things you mention still dont make the product crappy. Besides that your arguments suck. GBA was out long before psp, n64 carts might be lower in storage but they were suppirior in loading times and the cube used small dvd disks (it isnt a closed format at all) to try and avoid piracy.
What about the lack of 3rd party support, that a nintendo short coming.
The lack of 3rd party support for the last generation has nothing to do with nintendo making crappy products. The GC is a solid piece of hardware wich offers good bang for the buck. The lack of software doesnt change anything about the quality of the product.
Nintendo is the LAST company that should be praised for NOT ripping off its customers, otherwise they would take less financial gain to please its supporters!.
Are you trying to say you cant make a nice profit and please your customers? the reason they are making profits is because apparantly they do please their costumers.
All my arguments go against the PR that Nintendo has been pushing for the last decade! Its why the Cube failed, its why the GBA failed (rushed life cycle because of the introduction of the DS to compete with the PSP) and its why the Wii is going to fail
Dude... the GBA still sells plenty and gets software support. Besides, they sold like 76million gba's, how can you argue it failed?
If you dislike nintendo so much just say the Wii isnt worth your 250dollars, dont say its a bad product or you are getting ripped of because you arnt. Nintendo sells quality hardware at a decent price. You know who is ripping you off? Sony. For still charging 175 euro's for a new ps2. I cant see how you can say you get ripped of with a wii for 250 euro while you get alot more power than the ps2, get 512mb of memory, wifi and a totally new controller.
