Re: Wii Owners: Microsoft Wants You To Buy The Xbox 360 This Holiday Season

Microsoft does have Rare. I can see Nintendo fans enjoying an Xbox. But the time to buy a 360 has passed. I'd wait for the Nextbox.

@Samholy Behind the PS3 is the evil creator of SecuROM. Also Sony's creations are not on par with Nintendo or even Microsoft. The best they can hope to do is copy them.

@WaveWitch You'd rather have a PS2 than a 360? Now that's a low blow.

Re: Nintendo Confirms Wii U Will Be Sold At A Loss

It's the PS3 that's too expensive. After 6 years, Sony needs to do better than $300 in order to sell me their Blu-ray player.

@kkslider5552000 I have a hard time believing Sony too. I imagine they figure the 10 year console rigamarole will help snag a few last minutes sales before they launch their PS4. $300 for a PS3 in 2012 is nothing to get excited about.

Re: Talking Point: Games That Need Wii U - Resident Evil 6

QTEs are worse than waggle. Yet over the last 10 years it seems devs can't come up with anything better. Reviewers need to start speaking out against it. Do I want RE6 on Wii U? No. I'd rent it and maybe change my mind--but from the gameplay videos I've seen I have no interest at this time. I'll stick to Revelations.

I'd say touch screens have been around long enough for all of us to agree they're not a gimmick. Patcher has a point that looking back and forth from the GamePad to the big screen doesn't feel natural, that's why it's so important for third party ports to have minimal use of the touch screen. Mass Effect, Darksiders, Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed, and Black Ops are all doing just that. Other games like ZombiU are intentionally using the GamePad to distract you from the big screen--disconnection is their whole idea.

I really don't see the GamePad being a star feature for single player games. Asymmetrical gameplay is what it's all about. Playing on the GamePad while someone else uses the big screen. That's good stuff.

I closed my facebook page years ago after I learned they were making money off our personal information. Lawyers and IRS auditors will use your facebook accounts against you too when they can. Creepy stuff. With all that unsecured information floating around, who needs a PS3?
