I'm sorry, but I just had to laugh at that. I'm not trying to be cold and heartless, but I seriously loled at that. Since when have the Nintendo fans been crying? In my eyes, they are pretty much always on top of things in terms of games and sales. They pretty much created the gaming era and took it to new levels. They created classic characters like Link and Mario.

Also, this is not a race between companies. It's all about having fun, escaping reality and probably blowing some guy's head off with a rocket launcher or trying to get Peach to flash her undies. Why do the major players be so determined to "win"? What's the prize in winning anyway? They are just there to sell games, and we are here to buy them and play them. End of discussion.

still I don't care what you guys think of doing and besides, I can post what i want and I dont care much for flaming.

No? Could've fooled me with the way you keep flamebaiting. In fact, you just did it again. Knock it off already.

Umm, I don't know if you've been keeping track here, but Nintendo took a serious nosedive last generation with the Gamecube and ended up last in the console races.

*nods* Yeah, I should have put that in. But I know about it. I was there when it happened. I'm still bearing the scars of Luigi's haunted mansion game But it's still strong, for it has a very loyal fan base following it. That's all I can say before I make myself look like an idiot further. Thank you.

just because Nintendo has created some of the best classic characters doesn't mean their systems are A-GAME. like the other guy said a few posts back, this is something that Nintendo has to advoid. Just becuase Nintendo is on the top with the wii and ds, if ds and wii doesn't get good software all year, it can bring them down. Take alook at the wii right now. name 1 game released that is awesome owning?

Name 1 any good game that's worth the money and not crappily short.

Name one game anyone would want to purchase that would warrant a PS3.

Oh wait.

[LogicDonny]

Oh goody, a mediocre racing game with gimmicky graphical features like mud particles. You have fun with that one, along with your awful PSP games. I guess you enjoy awful, so I'm not surprised on your excitement for the game.

There is no game worth owning a Wii for. At the same time, you can't just try and make that argument to validate purchasing a PS3 . And honestly, apples and oranges, man. If you buy a Wii and play one or two decent games for awhile, you probably won't feel too bad, because it didn't really cost you all that much. It's a different story with the PS3. You're paying a ton for nothing at all, especially if you don't have an HDTV with HDMI.

And you can't say the DS is going to drop off. It's a worldwide phenomenon. It had a pretty mediocre year last year, but thanks to stuff like Nintendogs and Brain Age, they pulled out MILES ahead of the PSP. If the DS didn't sell a single unit for an entire year, the PSP would STILL trail it. The DS isn't going anywhere, and if all the early indications are correct, the same can be said for the Wii.

However, to play devil's advocate, there's one gaming machine that stomps all others into the ground, and that's the Xbox360. No current gaming console has the kind of line-up the 360 has in 07. When you factor in some of the terrific exclusives already available on the console, there is absolutely no reason for any self-respecting gamer to not own one.

In short:
360>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Wii>>>PS3
DS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>PSP
Whoops, I meant...
DS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>N-Gage>>>>>>>>>>>PSP
