A simple message to third party developers. Evolve or die.

Time and time again it has been demonstrated that the consumer cares about convieniece, not "high tech". One of the primary reasons DVD succeeded over VHS is because you didn't have to deal with bulky tapes anymore (no more REW or FF)... convenience. Why did the PS2 succeed? You could get...

This is the reason why I dont bother to post much on forums anymore. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6S7PMsyQdw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txCq0Lwwq7o&feature=related When you understand the psychology of the irrational due to "investor bias" or "the fear of being wrong" it becomes...

The way how chess is presented is irrelevant because chess is a good and solid game. That's the real reason. ;) Take Super Mario Galaxy for instance. The average person who enjoyed that game wouldn't care if it was for the Wii, the N64 or running on a $3000 PC. They will all tell you they...

Here are two different ways of presenting chess. Which one makes the game better? :lol:

So does the Xbox 360 and its games. See, I can do that too. :lol: The point is, what happened to cel animation in the US? Is it that cel animation is now seen as obsolete?

Well, let me just say this, manga, which is extremely popular, is still mostly in black and white and the attitudes in the "west" (particularly the US) towards technology and entertainment is why great products like this, this and this are rarely seen anymore. Enjoy irrelevance. :lol:

Have you ever seen a "Naruto vs Bleach" thread? :lol: The PS3 vs Xbox 360 vs Wii arguments that mostly pollute forums are no different from the Batman vs Superman vs Spawn arguments that are common. They are irrational, but highly entertaining.

The Wii fad will die in 2013... ;)

The architect of the Wii's success thinks so. Like Pokemon? There are tiny minority of people to this day who believe that Pokemon is a fad. :lol:

You're right. Some posts in this thread looks eerily like it came right out of Sony's PR department. But, it's Beyond3D... Why are you surprised? :lol:

I've heard this argument before. Just replace "Wii" with "PSone". :lol:

You know what's interesting.... maybe most Wii households have two [or three] Wiis instead of one. One for the kids (Hannah Montana, etc.), one for mom and dad (Wii Fit, Wii Play, etc.) [and one for the Nintendo core gamer. (Galaxy, Brawl, etc.)] This multiplier effect, may push the Wii to 300...

During the N64/PSone era, games like Super Mario 64, Zelda: OOT and Goldeneye sold mountains of copies, but the N64 was still irrelevant. It was all about the PSone because it had the most sales. Unfortunately, the Xbox 360 and the PS3 are simply seen by the mainstream as the console that nerds...

The Xbox 360 and the PS3 both continue to be irrelevant. I wonder what Microsoft and Sony will do next-gen to become relevant again.
