I'm not a fan of Halo either, I was just using that as an example of a title that sells a system to someone. That sold a crap load of Xbox's all by itself and was an exclusive title to Xbox.

And I can't sway you either, We shall just agree to disagree.

I didn't think we were arguing. I thought we were having a discussion to be honest.

Not really. Nintendo has always been the king of the handheld market. Their share in handhelds has always been numero uno, there has never been much competition at all(save the Sega handheld which flopped). Consoles are a different story, Nintendo has been an afterthought in the console market since the PS1 was released and Sony took over. Nintendo is a distant third in consoles, and there lies the challenge for them of getting back on top.

See Nintendo needs to have a bigger target audience. They can still make the Mario and Zelda games for the hardcore Nintendo guys, and then branch out to other genres to help expand their place in the market. I mean do you ever thing you would see a game like Gears of War or Dead RIsing on the W!!? I don't, and that's not a good thing, there is no reason why Nintendo can't branch out and expand to other areas to get more people to enjoy their system without alienating the hardcore fanbase... The Innovations could put it ahead of the 360 and PS3. Sure, it's possible. We will have to wait and see though. It could be a major breakthrough, or it could end up falling flat on it's face ala Virtual Boy or whatever that piece of crap was. Nintendo has alot to prove with the W!!, and I for one hope they do it. I don't hate Nintendo, I grew up with them, but I think myself with quite a few others just slowly grew out of Nintendo cause they didn't want to grow up with us and just stayed status quo. As far as the DS vs PSP, I said as much that the DS controls the handheld market, that's where Nintendo is making all their money.

See that's the thing. Nintendo doesn't have the best games, at least for myself. I'm not into Zelda or Mario like I was many years ago. I think they need to start reaching out to a wider audience instead of relying on what worked in the past, at least up until the gamecube. To get away from Hi-def for a second, I mean really Nintendo hasn't put out a great exclusive game not named Mario or Zelda in the last 5 to 10 years. They don't have a Halo(Microsoft) type game or a MGS type game(Sony). I think there in lies there biggest problem. They have there hardcore fanbase, but they don't do enough to branch out to other gamers to make the system sucessful here in the states. The reluctance to go into the world of on-line game hurts too. Nintendo makes solid systems, no doubt, but being hard-headed about the types of games they put out I think hurts them in the long run in the states and they will continue to be in 3rd place in the console wars, and on top in the handheld wars. I'll probably still pick up a WII, just like I will probably pick up a PS3 depending on what types of games are out there. Graphics don't trump gameplay by anymeans, but this is next gen....there should be a difference in most games.

HD Tv's will be in most american's homes within the next 3 years or so. It's the future. The price has come down, and anyone who goes to buy a new TV now would be silly not to go Hi-def even if they don't use it right away since pricing is similar. As I've said, I just think having a next gen system and not having hi-def capabilites is selling the systems power short.

Who cares? I'm not even trying to turn this into a console war. I would bitch if the 360 and PS3 didn't have hi-def standards too. I'm not saying the system will be terrbile, it oculd be great, but Nintendo doesn't have a stellar track record with console systems lately(Gamecube). They were the king of the hill up through the N64, but now it seems they are content with dominating the handheld market. Between not embracing online play(at least on the gamecube), and not having a hi-def standard...I just think it's a bad move on their part.

I disagree. The Gamecube was a failure here in the states, it sold well in Japan though. Nintendo is just behind everyone else, I'm not saying it will bomb, but Nintendo needs to get with the times. Not having a hi-def standard is just inexcusable these days.

I'm sorry but it is absolutley inexcusable to not have hi-def capabilites. It's the standard on Xbox 360 and will be on the Ps3 as well. Just mindboggling how far Nintendo is behind on the times. No matter how good this system can be, the lack of true HD support will be a big big problem.

I guess I have been lucky. Never had an issue with my NES, SNES, Genesis, PS1, PS2, Dreamcast, Xbox or Xbox360.

I will be picking this up no doubt. The demo has been a blast.

That just sounds like no fun. I couldn't imagine just plowing over people like that. I like to have a challenge.

I'm not sure you can make that claim about any religion. They all have there share of nutjobs.

Huh? She looks fantastic. Better than most people 10 years younger than she is.

What positive attributes?

Paragraphs are your friend. That was tough to read.

Brooklyn Brawler???!?!??!

That was a fun opener.

Sometimes I honestly feel bad for Dreamer...lol.

That one guy in the front row with the white shirt is the same guy who has been at like every WWF/E PPV since I was born. I thought he was dead or something.

What's the over/under on how many pints of blood Dreamer has lost over the course of his career?

So who goes into the barbwire...Sandman or Dreamer?

I love this crowd, but having the crowd competley muted at points, sucks.
