@Damo Not really because had someone else directed it the look and feel of the movie would have been dramatically different and would have performed differently at the box office!

Going by the logic that it almost ruined his career then you should add Danny Devito to it as he too turned down the part of Mario!!

How did it "almost ruin the career of Harold Ramis"? He had nothing to do with the making of it apart from having been offered the Directors job, which he turned down.

@Fudgewhizzle How much money do you actually think a small niche gaming community would generate when compared to the cost of continuing to make AAA titles if the analysts are correct in predicting migration to mobile gaming.

I read that there is a drop in traditional gaming sales by 25% year on year. Surely it would make traditional consoles a non sustainable business!!

But will it? NO!!! Subpar products will be continued to be released and people will continue to compain about them. What exactly does the irate gamer want?? Figure out how much time he wasted playing it and then paying for his time or a refund because that is essentially all its worth!!

Waste of time and money!

What a waste of time and money for the sake of a £40 game. It's pathetic!

Nothing for months then 4 games get released on the same day in march!! Best put some cash on one side for at least 3 of them.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!

Next game I have preordered appears to be March 28th!!!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!

Oh well more time to play Ni No Kuni!

@TheRealThanos Like I said all it takes is one of the 3 companies I mentioned to decide it wants a piece of the action and the bottom drops out of traditional gaming!! I have already read rumours about Apple TV getting an app store for games in maybe the next version.

As much as people like to bang on about "Its not real gaming" it still completely buggered the handheld market everywhere (apart from Japan). Plus if you can play the same games you have already bought for your phone on it for no extra cost (which Apple already do between iPad and iPhone). Goodbye Next Gen!!

I have no faith in the next Gen of console. I can see them coming out at a heavily inflated price of about $700 and setting off with a sluggish start. I can also see the Ouya as been the catalyst for a massive selection of affordable android consoles that will heavily reduce the already dwindling number of gamers in the world. Plus with cloud gaming coming (at a slow pace) like onlive etc I am not convinced there will be a need for very very expensive propriety hardware. The Ouya was planned to launch with Onlive installed on it.

I am not suggesting that the Ouya is the console killer but I have a sneeky suspicion that if it sells well (its almost sold out 3 months prior to launch) one of the big companies will decide to invest. Imagine how much money Apple, Samsung or Google could throw into marketing a $99 console that would play games you already run on your phones.

I plan to get a copy of this myself!!

Got Professor Layton!! Thank you Nintendo!!

Goodbye Vita!!

Legend!

Already got mine on preorder! Would much prefer they confirm a steady stream of games after launch!!

@bennyt I did the same! Check your account coz they have now put it up to £289

Was going to order one when Amazon had the price at £265 but at £285 I am gonna pass!
