Welcome to Gaia! ::

First off, I don't care what you think, Shadow. My preferences for actors' roles doesn't have to conform to your petty expectations. Where do you think you're getting off, trying to pick a fight with someone over their signature of all thingsby the way?
IF you'll excuse ME- I believe it's pronounced "Hop-clop" and "Leibkind". If you're going to try to pick a fight, be a little more mature about it.

Moving on to a another topic-
This whole Wii and PS3 craze has me confused...I haven't seen a single console of the sort, but yet the local game store is loading up on Wii games out the whazoo and has been since the Wii's release.
And not to mention the LoZ:TP port to Gamecube... it doesn't seem to exist in this end of the country.

I'd go on some whacked-out conspiracy theory that the Wii's and PS3's don't exist if people weren't buying them and selling them for 5k on Ebay. Which they are, last I heard. ninja

It's couch.

In any case, the Wii had a good release, but after Zelda, its populatiry will die down. Besides, the only thing the Wii got going for it is the wiimote, and eventually, people will get tired of it, and want to just sit around and play games with the good ol' controller. Now, even though you CAN do that on the Wii, it'll rid Wii of its main gimmick, and therefore, the Wii will have no appeal whatsoever.
The PS3 on the other hand, had a rough release, however, PS2 had a crappy release as well, and its first year wasn't very good either. The PS3 has great potential and there's a chance it'll dominate the new generation. However, if it doesn't, it'll be because of Xbox 360. So in the end, it's either gonna be the PS3 or the 360, but the Wii will not dominate in the long run.

Well since when was a console's games at their full potential during the console's launch? I mean, back when the PS1 came out, we had games like Alone in the Dark and Tekken and let's face it, they weren't nearly at PSX's full potential. Then eventually games like Resident Evils, and your Final Fantasies used PSX's full hardware potential. It'll be the same with every console, including the PS3. Don't get me wrong, the graphics are pretty amazing already. But the best is yet to come.

Umm, actually Resistance is PS3 exclusive.

I'm not saying the Wii won't be successful there's a chance it won't, and there's a chance it will. I'm just saying that a good or a bad launch doesn't predict the future.

Yes, and I had the pleasure of playing it for a little while at a Playstation Party hosted by MTV. It's an awesome game.

Ok my turn...

That's very true, who knows what'll happen, I mean any of them could fail really, no one can predict what will happen.

In my own opinion I believe it all comes down to the target audience really, and keeping their appeal. For the Wii I think it would be stupid now for Nintendo to start releasing only one player games as most families that have brought the Wii will be left out. This doesn't seem to be happening anyway as lot's should be coming out. Stuff like Wii Brain Training and Super Smash Bros. Brawl which I can't wait for. xd Again as a contridiction I want these titles like Metroid Prime 3, RE:UC and Super Mario Galaxy for one player. So right now it seems their audience is intact as well as the 'classic' gamers as I call them. As far as I know right now Sony however are solely concentrating on one player games which suit it's target audience. The eventuality though is that they aren't really branching out to make it an applicable console for everyone, that coupled with the price means that I think they will have a hard time in the future. Not saying it won't be successful, just that I think it won't dominate. In reality as much as I hate to admit it, the Xbox 360 seems to be doing ok right now and I haven't seen any interest diminishing, personally I don't like the 360 but I think it's got a strong chance of coming out on top.

Again back to my Nintendo fanboyness.

[fanboyrant] The Wii has broke sales records. In it's first weekend it sold 105,000 in the UK, in comparison to the 70,000 360's sold on it's first weekend over here. (Unfortunately we still don't have the PS3 so I can't make a comparison on that.) In it's first 12 hours it sold over 50,000 units, and was sold out in three days having sold over 325,000 consoles. Not to mention over a 600000 units sold in the US on it's first weekend and 400,000 in Japan on it's first day. So Nintendo must be doing something right. As for the Wiimote, it's not jst a gimmick. It has so many uses on the console, first there's games for one, it makes a great mouse online and there is speculation that it will be able to attatch to the virtual console controller in future for new ways to play games. I should think playing games the old way but with added motion sensing. So excited! Thus ends my crazy fanboyness rant! [/fanboyrant]

Ok back to other things for a second, I saw the remake of Dawn of the Dead last night. I found it was a good zombie movie in itself, the bloody fast zombies freaked me out. Like 28 Days later but with actual zombies. I do think though that as they decomposed they should have gotten slower.
It did have a few stupid parts though. (i.e. Fast fatty zombie and baby zombie). Overall I liked it though.
