Playstation 3 revealed

[Dreddz]

Nintendo will lose profit over each WII though, they gained profit with the GC because it only played games, only. The PS2 has a DVD player, and so did the Xbox. Thats why they lost money. Now, this is the reason why Nintendo wasnt so successful with the GC, so they will have to include a DVD player ths time around. Thus, they wont be gaining anything with each console made. This means that the the WII has to do well, MS lost what, 4 Billon pounds off the Xbox. Now, that isnt much for MS, but if Nintendo lost that much, it would become a serious problem. And seeing as Nintendo arent doing as well MS in America, they could lose quite alot with the Wii. Now, ths is when they start to fall down the path Sega went down. If the Wii doesnt sell as much as Nintendo hope, then I reckon Nintendo could have the same fate as Sega did.

MS and Sony lost money per console due to overall hardware costs of each console, not due simply to DVD playback.

[Dreddz]

But wouldnt the Wii suffer from this as well ?

[Samuraid]

It's a possibility, but I honestly don't know for sure as of yet.

Crap name+crap 'OMG! Push the polygons hard3|_!=dead wii.

Gods amercians are so easy to predict. Maybe in Europe. Maybe. Hell.. pigs may fly and Spore can be sold on the Wii.

Whatever, amercians for a reason hated minicompact discs. They have too much room and not enough to fill it. So nothing small works unless the exception. (See: Ipod mini)

You need to cool it on your eurotrash american hating, because the only thing I understood about that post was about the ipod.

Nintendo will never die.

They might, unfortunately, stop making their own consoles and start making their first-party games third-party for Sony or Microsoft in two or three gaming generations, but I think they will always make new handheld systems. The DS is selling better than the crap PSP, afterall.

Nintendo will never, ever close up shop and die. If they stop making consoles, Mario games, Zelda, etc., etc., will just go to another console but they'll still be made by Nintendo.

I don't think they'd ever make them for another company either, if anything it'd be portable exclusive titles as well. But honestly, do you people really think Nintendo is going to fold? They're doing extremely well, and the Wii will do extremely well too, just wait and see!

Wii doesn't seem like it will do well with the casual gamer or parents who want to get their children a household name.

I keep hearing from microsft fanboys about how PS3 dosn't have HDR(high dinamic range) lighting and how anything sony comes up with will suck...fanboys...espesialy MC fanboys are scum!

More like severely retarded.

The damn thing only supports what? 10 normal Xbox games? that's pathetic. Oh wow, neat CGI graphics, whoopdee doo, a game with kickass awesome graphic isn't always good. LOok at the controller! The buttons are tiny and there's all sorts of stuff on it. Useless stuff.

At least the PS3 controller is easier to hold and isn't biased to midgets! (no offense) or kids! Come on what good has Bill Gates done? It aint even his own work, hardly anything MS makes is BG's work.


The Wii is a crap name, the controller for it is terrible and small, the thing looks plain and unfancy.

Yeah, the RSX (the PS3 GPU) does support HDR, however, using it requires an excessive amount of memory bandwidth.

The damn thing only supports what? 10 normal Xbox games?

Actually, it supports far more than 10.

Hmm... the controller senses tilting motion? o.o Interesting, but I wonder how well a regular controller and a tilt-motion sensor work together. o_o

"Honey I bought Tommy a Wii for his birthday "

Actually, I doubt the name will have much effect on that at all. Besides, with parents buying their children a console... its $500 VS $200... thats not a hard choice, especially when parents will look at Nintendo as being more for their kids than Sony.

Anyway, I realise people must be saying "Sony stole that motion thing from Nintendo"... but Its somewhat known that Sony's been thinking about it a lot for a long time... what actually made them use it, was how well the Wii was testing.
And even though its not as good as the Wii's motion sensing, its still good enough... (although I've heard from some people that there is a half second lagg between when u move, and when the game pics it up.)
On the bright side, this is what Nintendo was hopping for... their Wii is impacting the industry, and is being copied. (copying something is a form of flattery) Wont be long till MS puts this more officially into their console too!
