Nintendo games have become nothing but shovelware now. Milking the same old tiresome IP over and over just to make a quick buck.

I guess that's the reason the Galaxy games are some of the highest rated games this gen..?

Lets just shut down the video game industry, then. Nintendo is not the only one in the industry you know.

You don't know what shovelware is. Nintendo games and COD aren't shovel ware. The njnjabread man is shovelware.

But Ubisoft, Microsoft, Sony, EA, and Activision come out with original content year after year. Examples: Call of Duty MW3 and Call of Duty Blops 2 or Gears of War 3 and Gears of War Judgement or how about Assassin's Creed Revelations and Assassin's Creed 3.

People keep saying the Xbox One doesn't have Backwards Compatibility.
I don't think they know what Backwards Compatibility means...

If Sony or/and MS launch at 450 or below Nintendo is in trouble.
If they launch at 500 Nintendo will have a challenge but I think be fine with great games out by then
If they launch at 550 Nintendo would be in a great position especially with great games out by then
If they launch at 600 then Nintendo is going to kill it.

I highly doubt Sony can afford to sell the PS4 at a price lower than $500.

Most definitely. Yet we all must remember that a lot of people are still going to shell out the large amount of cash necessary due to, but not solely on, Call of Duty.

I imagine that Sony will sell the system for between $450-500 but will provide 'free' incentives such as online subscriptions and access to streaming PS3 games to make it seem like you are getting a better deal. I wouldn't be surprised if there is some sort of pack in game either. I doubt they can just sell the console on its own without any bells or whistles for $500-600 and not have people complaining like they did with the PS3, even though $500-600 would be a decent price compared to the horsepower the system provides.

There's a such thing as explaining situations w/o being a total jerk.
Besides, there's a difference between being better when it comes to consoles and practical uses for consoles. Sega had the internet thing for games, too, and look where they are.
Those features are cool, but it doesn't matter if no one gives a crap about Sega or Atari.
I'm defending a console still in the market, so lets try and make this discussion the best we can by actually contributing to the discussion please.

EDIT: Also, based on your information, Atari didn't even have to release an Atari 2600. If they were able to run a 'next gen' operating system on their last gen console, that is a big reason why it failed.
That's the same reason why I don't like Apple. Same device, different year. Hardly anyone harnesses any iPad build past the first iPad, because the market is greater and no one wants to buy a $200-900 device once a year to take full advantage of a $1 app.
Do you seriously want me to decipher why Atari died? I can go look at wikipedia and report back if you want.
There's a console timeline chart, and it's obvious that there is a pattern in the industry.

Based on the wicked awesome avatar you had of you and your high school project, I'd probably put myself at least 15 years older than you. But moving on.

I didn't launch a personal attack. This would be a personal attack: "I have a feeling Scar hasn't taken either a debate class or any course that would require him to interpret data and offer a factual statement based on that data. Perhaps he should spend less time on internet forums, less money on games, and focus on getting a higher education"

That would be a personal attack. All I did was point out your statement makes literally no sense to anyone ever and is not a defense of against Chrono's statement.

But moving onto your defense. Chrono pointed out that Nintendo's online offerings are still behind their closest competitor. And your argument was "Oh yeah? Nintendo had a dialup service that feature radio before Sony had Music Unlimited. So Nintendo is way ahead of Sony in terms of online offering"

That was your exact argument. It had absolutely nothing to do with the current climate. Furthermore your later statement of

"Besides, there's a difference between being better when it comes to consoles and practical uses for consoles. Sega had the internet thing for games, too, and look where they are"

totally negates your entire argument of "Nintendo is way better because they did it first".

And no, you aren't "...defending a console still in the market.." by bringing up devices of old. That's not even close to what you're attempting to do. In fact, I can use your argument that if Nintendo was so advance, their offerings should be light years ahead of everyone else. You're trying to defend Nintendo, the company. Nothing else.

And your edit makes no sense whatever. You're trying to claim that there isn't wildly popular Apps that require something greater than iPhone OS 3.2? Or a future generation of hardware? And recycling what you read on wikipedia to inform someone who lived through the video game crash? Total classic.

Sony's offering will be whatever the market will tolerate. If they get a superior third party system seller on the console at launch (at the same time or ahead of competitors), people will cash in. If the PS4 version of Call of Duty is roughly the same, if not worse than the model offered on a console a person already owns, it won't sell. Unless they give them away.

@terribledeli
Thanks for the compliment on my painting.
Anyways, I appreciate your apology type post, and I do know what I'm talking most of the time. I admit I make mistakes, but there is tons of statistics and data to prove points I make. I don't throw around 'intellectual diarrhea' without making sure I have key points available.
Looking back in retrospect, what do you think caused Atari to fail?
Atari may have been the first company to do an online service, but they did it wrong. That's the difference.
Both Sega, Atari, and the online GameTap service both failed, and those features were essentially the same idea. Even with PS4, they have that Gaikai which is a big appeal for the console. The idea is still the same as those other streaming DLC type builds that have failed, but it's alot more personal for a bigger crowd.
I would even argue that Spotpass can handle some form of game streaming, that isn't the appeal of Spotpass as of now, but it COULD be if they see the need to do so.
Xbox will probably use an Xbox Live streaming thing for games, too.

EDIT: As for i devices. I see the appeal, but not the functional aspect. I would completely agree that iPhone started the smartphone craze, but they never added anything truly new to stay on the game. There are WAY better smartphones out there besides iPhone.
I had an iPad 2 when they were new, and those things get old quick. I kept hearing how apps and programs would run faster and have more capabilities, but rarely did anything take advantage of the hardware past iPad 1. That's not worth buying a device every year like many do.

No, you don't say? It seems like we discuss such things ever so sparingly!
