XBox has billions and billions of dollars to waste on everything. They're just trying to by whatever they can, with little or no thought involved.Quote:
Not every other console. Xbox is allowing almost all of the KOF games and SVC chaos, and Guilty Gear X2 #Reload. 2D games will actually sell great if Sony actually gives them publicity, you know, put a few ad spaces in magazines that AREN'T taken up by Final Fantasy game ads.
Man you guys..
PSP shortage? Doesnt surprise me :x
PS2/Sony has a huge developer's market going for them, every developer wants to develop for them because of the license and the potential customers the console brings. Should anyone buy more Xbox and GC games, more developers will go to those too. Sony IMO isnt a great company as most of their titles that they made themselves arent really that great for the most part. They just got more 3rd party developers.
GC has suffered because of their setback from N64, and because of the lack of developers willing to work with them. Its not that Nintendo is a bad company for the lack of games...but its because no one is willing to work with them for their buisness practices(sometimes). Some people say Nintendo's ways are old and overused, and sometimes its true, but would we say that if FFXI or Xenosaga or more great titles went on the GC? No it would be a non-issue if Nintendo's ways are a bit old as long as they are producing top quality games made from 3rd party developers...so far all i see is that, the more people interested developing games for you, the better you are off...Nintendo, unfortunetly doesnt have much interest in the gaming sector these days and therefore GC has not(and probably will not) reach its maximum potential due to non-interest. Nintendo however still makes best first party games the best out of all companies and support multiplayer aspects of a console in which are offline the best. <3
Xbox is about the same, they started off with bad footing, but they gained alot of experience now. If anything, their online gaming sector is among the strongest. They have the know-how on how to deal with things like that. And i am sure their online gaming section for the Xbox2 will be plenty huge.
Conclusion: Buy the console that fits your need the most...and Sony is evil to not make enough chips...purposefully or not...should have been expected...

But newer gamers such as Tekken or GT have a much larger audience so will sell much more. Micosoft are very new to the console game market while Sony has been in this buisness alot longer and have much more knowlage than any other games company
Nippon Ichi says Joel's wrong ;[
or at least it says that two or three examples does not a trend make.
Sony is not newer to the gaming market than Nintendo or Sega gibbi >_>
If you think Sony doesnt have billions of dollars too then you must be joking...
i was actually just referrring it to the Xbox which is new.
Sony has billions but has the common sense that a 2D fighter wont sell as well as a 3D one
Lol who thinks that? I dont play 3-D fighters, it doesnt appeal to me. There are a huge generation of 2-D fighting fans still and PS hasnt really did that well with it. 3-D sucks...imo anyway. Tekken is not my thing.
O_o Shortage? Ain't not PSP shortage!
I know guys that work at Target and Best Buy in Chicago... and both stores got in 50 some units... and have only sold around 10-15 at each store in the past 2 days... I honestly would have expected more preorders... but even the gamestop down the street has like 15 units still in... the guy at the counter even asked me if I wanted to buy one. XD
I don't blame people for not buying it... at least not while its $250...
I want one.... but not until Sony gets its act together... and certainly not until the price drops dramatically!!
Trust me, there are more younger gamers who wont be brought in by 2D games. The older generation of gamers will buy them but there are alot more younger gamers than older gamers ya know. Dont say im wrong cause im rightQuote:

Your 'i know i am right without any proof' really isnt going to help anything you say on here...
Theres no proof absolutely about the 3-D stuff, i mean just because your part of the place prefers 3-D doesnt mean everywhere will. To be frank, even if its true, its just because its easier to do combos and stuff there. You have no idea how much 2-D fans there are around my place.
OK its seems ive not got it right. Im not sure about the States but over here in the UK a 2D game aint bin in the Charts in years. If they have they went out in about a week
Isn't this thread about PSP?
I mean I could be wrong but...
No your right we accidentially changed the topic :S
