    Wii stays out of stock because of strict manufacturing rules. The bad news? It's hard to find them. The good news? The failure rate is less than 1%, nearly unheard of in the digital gaming realm. Reply

    Nintendo Wii's Price Cut Is Looking Likely [view article]
    apparently my comments from yesterday or the day before yesterday have disappeared, I wont write them down again
    just the most important stuff, such as: you forgot to mention that one of the most probably reasons for why we will see a price cut is because Nintendo will introduce "Wii 1,5" next year. They will sell the console together with the new enhanced wii controllers, and they can't sell the "Wii 1,0" package side by side with the new console package, so they might sell it for less soon in order to clear the stocks. Then again, considering how quickly they sell out on the console at the current price-point it's questionable that they will really need to cut the price to be able to sell out.
    Another thing I mentioned was that... Nintendos console doesn't really need to adjust to Micorsofts or Sonys price-point, since their console is vastly different from Microsofts and Sonys. In fact, it's a bit dangerous for everyone involved if Microsofts continues to slash prices. I mean, they're not making profit on their console as it is already, so to slash prices again is suicide. You mention that the real profit comes from game sales and not console. Is that really how the market works right now? Nintendo is selling a console with last gen technology compared to Sony and Microsoft. They are making profit from their console sales, and they need that in order to stay in the business since they don't have enough games, and thus game sale revenues with the Wii. Microsoft can of course slash prices since they are selling a fair amount of games, but to loose as much as they will on every console when the new price-point kicks in is dangerous for all three players (if we, for the sake of making an argument, includes Nintendo in the group as well, because obviously they are affected by what the other two companies do, they are all console manufacturers, it's just that Nintendo is more mainstream this generation).
    Microsofts problem is that they don't get that their "gameplay is last gen" compared to Nintendo. But again, it's not fair to simply say one is better than the other. For storydriven games it doesn't really matter that much what kind of controllers you have, for some of the more "complicated"... hardcore games it's even better to stick with the "old" controllers that have more buttons and 2 analog sticks; and with Microsofts and Sonys consoles they also get top notch graphics (which is definitely possible with Nintendos console as well if you scratch one million waving blades of grass, but sure it's lacking a lot in the graphics department compared to the other two)
    The problem for Nintendo I would say is that the western world isn't really doing anything for Wii. Which is strange, since the controllers makes possible a lot of innovating titles, but maybe this will change as soon as the new gyroscopic controllers become available. All this talk about 3d party developers not knowing that Wii would outsell the other 2 companies this generation, and that they started producing games for Wii too late seems a bit strange, I mean, they have had a lot of time now to prepare something, and could have showed something at e3 this summer. No one is to blame, but there's no question that Nintendo of America is having a hard time finding developers, and it's a shame.
    But anyways, hope you understand from this comment that Nintendo wont really need to slash prices for the Wii next years, since by then it has morphed into "Wii 1,5" and everyone wants the new improved controllers. This is ingenious by Nintendo since these gyroscopes that are going to improve the motion detection of the controllers are actually very cheap.
    My concern with Nintendo right now though is... DSi... now that's lame, I mean, ok so maybe the "i" is an intentional way of giving kudos to iPhone, and iPod touch for putting up a fight with Nintendo, and as we all now, Apple actually began showing interest in handheld devices with touch screen technology ages ago, (it was when Jobs was in his first run with Apple, before he left to return a couple of years ago). So Nintendo is maybe hinting at who they are actually competing with right now in the handheld market, at the same time it's a bit strange to call it DSi... anyways, the DSi has a flaw in that it has a camera that only works away from the user, you can't rotate it so that it points at the user as well. This means that you wont be able to use the camera for Eyetoy like games, or applications that reads your facial expressions (think Nintendogs with this function, exactly, you can compliment the dog simply by smiling, neat huh? Well, now you can't, effectively removing the scope of what you can do with the camera). It's a handheld device with the possibility to take photos, why don't I see the connection? I mean, there is one, and definitely there are games that can be made using a camera that isn't pointed at the user as well. But still, it confuses the market. Are developers going to have to develop games that can only played on the DSi now? How fat chance is there of developers doing that? Or is the DSi only the new DS with slightly bigger screens and worse battery time?
    A cellphone is always on, so you can take a snap shot whenever you want, with DSi you have to turn on the machine and then point it at whatever you want to take of photo of, but it's not a device that's very handy to use as a camera, and also, the lens is not centered in the middle... ok, so this might not be a problem, but I have my doubts.

    Waiting for the Wii Price Cut [view article]
    one thing that might be seen as slightly contradictory with your article is this: you state that the companies don't make their money on the consoles, but on the games, and at the same time you state that Nintendo have run out of AAA titles. In other words, if they wont make much money on games as it is right now because there aren't any titles, then their only source of revenue is the actual consoles, and considering that Nintendo is selling the Wii with a relatively good profit. (It's last generation hardware compared to sony and microsofts consoles). It's doubtful if they can afford to slash prices on the Wii to stay competitive. But hey, I'm no economist, so I might get this wrong. As for the other two companies entering the casual gamer territory I don't think they will be able to with the same punch. This is the thing: Wii together with Wii sports is the most ingenious gaming platform offer ever. Why? Because you essentially get a package that "non-gamers" understands. It's great versions of tennis and all the other sports that's in the title, it resonates well with "non-gamers" since it's physical, and it's what games should have been from the very beginning. Now, when it comes to story driven games or shooters that's a completely different ballpark, and one that Nintendo haven't been able to capitalize on this generation. But anyways, what I'm trying to say is simply, that I don't think Sony or Microsoft will be able to pose any considerable threat to Nintendo and their pursuit of the casual gaming audience using only means of price point. They would need similar controllers as well, or something that's even more "I get it"-esque.
    In a sense it's like comparing apples with oranges. Nintendo is the console with Wii Sports, and they have some great titles for kids like Mario etc. And when EA finally starts to deliver great sport titles next year together with Nintendos new controller I would say that it will be even harder for the competition to keep up.
    But of course, you are absolutetly right that it's bizarre that Nintendo can sell their console for such a high price now that Microsoft is going to lower their price yet again; and of course, it's a bit dangerous for Nintendo here, because they don't have as large revenues on game sales as Microsoft. I'm not sure though that Microsoft knows what they're doing right now, I mean, how much money aren't they loosing on their consoles already, and to then lower the price yet again.. these are risky times in the video-games industry for the companies, but it's definitely not grave times for the consumer (unless you are a hardcore gamer owning only a Wii, or one of the people who stood in line to buy an xbox 360 when it was released at triple the price it's at now).

    hm.. another point to add to the list is the fact that "Wii 1,5" will be standard next year, where u will be able to buy the console with the new gyroscope enhanced controllers. so Nintendo might want to cut prices for holiday season to be able to sell all their old wii consoles, although that might not be an important point considering they don't have any problem with selling out all of their consoles as it is already, but still, I'd say it's one of the major reasons why we will see a price drop within this year.

    Game Console Makers: Nearly $9B in Online Content and Services by 2013 [view article]
    hat's a whole lot of money for some video games. Good to see that people can see that games aren't just for little kids anymore. I hope it leaks on to mobile gaming. with phones like the the Motorokr (motorola.com/e8) this phone has crystal talk technology, a Mode-shift feature, full HTML browser, and plays music too, I'm sure it would produce some awesome graphics for mobile gaming.

    Sorry for the repeat post but I thought people should see how cool the phone looks too ;)     Reply

    Why Microsoft's XBox 360 Will Outsell Nintendo's Wii [view article]
    Honestly, I'm completely baffled at how you do not understand my point, I don't know what to say.....

    Let me get this straight. You said casual games can be played hardcore-ly, but are not actual hardcore games. Blood and gore = hardcore game. So any game I list that doesn't contain blood and gore isn't considered a hardcore game, but can be played hardcore-ly. I'm assuming this is right, but correct me if I'm wrong.

    So, assuming that information is right, I believe you are confusing mature content with actual gameplay. Blood and gore appeal to mature audiences, which are a lot of gamers. Therefore, you think that any game not appealing to mature audiences through blood and gore are not hardcore. Completely untrue. The major difference between casual and hardcore games is the complexity of the gameplay. Both Metroid and F-Zero offer some very challening gameplay, and because those games appeal to an audience of great skill, the hardcore gamers, they are considered hardcore.

    The MMORPG Eve doesn't have any blood and gore, but is incredibly complex and you'd be insane to suggest it is a casual game. Meanwhile, Halo is considered by many to be a casual for its accessibility and fun that can be taken to extreme hardcore levels. Arcade zombie shooters as well contain blood and gore but are called casual because anyone can play. So really, the point about playing a game hardcore-ly is irrelevant because any game can be played hardcore-ly or casually.

    In conclusion of that argument, the only constant for defining hardcore is the gameplay, because "how you play" is inconsistent and can vary for any game. Many games have complex gameplay but no blood and gore, so therefore are defined as hardcore, which makes blood and gore an irrelevant component of determining the core meaning of hardcore. Your experience with an incredibly small amount of hardcore gamers does not justify your opinion as universal or correct.

    Really though, it seems the main issue is you're mixing up "gaming hardcore" with "mature hardcore", and using that as a basis for your opinion.

    Moving on to the all caps paragraph. I'm not raging, unless you're imagining my voice in an incredibly angry tone when reading my posts. If anyone is, you are.

    Like I said in my previous post, I wasn't trying to prove the Wii had a lot of blood and gore games, so how can you "catch" me on something I wasn't trying to get away with?

    ".AND ITS NOT ABOUT THE WII BEING FOR ME OR NOT, DON'T TRY TO BE A SMART SARCASTIC JACKASS WITH ME.....ITS ABOUT THE WII NOT BEING ABLE TO PLEASE THE HARDCORE (FANS WHO LIKE BLOOD AND GORE)"

    The Wii will not please hardcore gamers who love blood and gore, so it is not for you. How is that statement any different from what I already said? And I already established that blood and gore doesn't equal hardcore above. I see you're trying to imply "blood and gore fans= all hardcore gamers" with the parentheses, but that is incorrect. So there are plenty of hardcore games for hardcore gamers, just not the blood and gore loving hardcore gamers. Which is what I already said.

    "AND THE WII DOESN'T EVEN HAVE GOOD RACING GAMES INSTEAD FOR THOSE KID GAMES LIKE MARIO KART, WACKY RACES AND CRASH AND DASH."

    What does this have to do with anything? Mario Kart is casual, where did I say it wasn't?

    If you're going to respond again, please, use some supportive opinions or strong points instead of only saying "blood = hardcore game" mixed with some completely unsupported statements and insults.     Reply

    Ok Dumb ass, let's see how stupid your are, "The term "hardcore game" means the game will appeal to the hardcore audience, and since blood and gore really only appeal to the hardcore audience, people tend to say hardcore game = blood and gore. Those people are wrong. What about genres like racing, space shooter, RTSs....? Are those games not hardcore because they don't include blood and gore? There are titles in every hardcore genre that do not contain blood and gore, shooters included. My definition is alive; you're just misinterpreting it."

    Okay you seem to think that you're smart so, do the math, I said that you can definitely be Hardcore in those types of games, but when people say Hardcore these days they're talkin about Blood and gore.....I never said that you can't be Hardcore in those other games.....What I said is that those games are for the casual crowd and casual crowds can definitely be hardcore, But you're missing the point, The term Hardcore NOWADAYS, AGAIN NOWADAYS, MEANS BLOOD AND GORE....HOW MUCH TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU THIS...?
    YES AND I AM HAPPY THAT I POINTED OUT THE OBVIOUS, YOU FELT STUPID BECAUSE YOU CAN ONLY NAME 2, BUT YEAH WRITE BACK AND SAY I SOUND IMMATURE OR WHATEVER BUT YOU KNOW I CAUGHT YOU WITH THAT ONE....AND ITS NOT ABOUT THE WII BEING FOR ME OR NOT, DON'T TRY TO BE A SMART SARCASTIC JACKASS WITH ME.....ITS ABOUT THE WII NOT BEING ABLE TO PLEASE THE HARDCORE (FANS WHO LIKE BLOOD AND GORE). IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT.....THATS ALL I WAS TRYING TO SAY.....DONT TRY TO CALL ME OUT LIKE I WAS SAYING THAT YOU CANT BE HARDCORE IN ANY OTHER TYPE OF GAMES, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU? IN ANYCASE HOMEBOY, I THINK YOU NEED TO LEARN TO UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BETTER INSTEAD OF HAVING YOUR RAGE TO DEFEND THE WII BLIND YOU......AND THE WII DOESN'T EVEN HAVE GOOD RACING GAMES INSTEAD FOR THOSE KID GAMES LIKE MARIO KART, WACKY RACES AND CRASH AND DASH.....DUDE THOSE ARE KID GAMES WHICH =CASUAL GAMES=FOR KIDS=NOT HARDCORE IN THE "NOW HARDCORE GENRE" SENSE.......IF YOU CANT UNDERSTAND THIS THEN YOU'RE RETARDED.....

    I never stated "hardcore has nothing to do with blood, ect." I said "hardcore doesn't mean blood, ect...", and there is a difference. My statement is implying that blood and gore do not solely define hardcore, as games can be hardcore and not include blood and gore. The term "hardcore game" means the game will appeal to the hardcore audience, and since blood and gore really only appeal to the hardcore audience, people tend to say hardcore game = blood and gore. Those people are wrong. What about genres like racing, space shooter, RTSs....? Are those games not hardcore because they don't include blood and gore? There are titles in every hardcore genre that do not contain blood and gore, shooters included. My definition is alive; you're just misinterpreting it.

    As for blood and gore heavy Wii games, I would say No More Heroes and MadWorld. Wait, that's ONLY two games. Congratulations, you just pointed out the obvious. Is the Wii for you, then? No, it isn't, and it doesn't have to be. I was never trying to prove that, just merely defending the Wii from your radical and wrong opinions.

    "They're not opinions, they're facts"
    Ha...ha....ha...No.

    "if you were smart and read like i do, you would realize that you're just a fanboy with no motives and no maturity underneath your belt."

    That could easily be reversed in this situation.     Reply

    Yeah Penguinkkk laugh all you want but it's really ridiculous of you to think that hardcore has nothing to do with Blood, gore, online deathmatches and so on and so forth.....Like i was explaining to someone before you on a next post, The Hardcore that you might think that you can do on the Wii...., yes you can definitely be hardcore in Supersmash Bros Brawl and other Kid like games, but remember these are kid like games....When the hardcore comes out of people's mouth these days, they're talking about games with Blooad, Cursing, Shooting, Killing Aliens that actually bleed......Perfect example Ninja Gaiden 2......Your interpretation of Hardcore has been extinct since Hardcore games like Resident Evil and other Bloody games like these, surfaced,.....There just isn't room for your type of Hardcore anymore....And i dont if it's me or just you playing dumb, but i think you definitely know what people mean by Hardcore and is just playing sarcastic because you want to keep your meaning of Hardcore alive to defend the Wii....Like I said dude, List some Hard core games, (let me put in Child-words for you) list some of your Type of Hardcore games that could feed the hunger of a different type of Hardcore gamer like me and alot of others who like blood and Gore,..Please do that in your next post or I will really think that you don't know what era of gaming you're in and that you're copping out ....very simple....Thank You Reply

    " Okay do the math, if you just by a 360 and play games on the console without live are you really experiencing what's good about the console?"

    Yes, just not Live. My friends without Live are perfectly fine with their 360s and enjoy the console very much. They only have singleplayer and offline multiplayer, which is what people had to deal with only a few years ago, so I'm sure they'll survive.

    "you think because using good grammar is going to make somebody feel bad? then you're wrong my friend."

    No. Your current writing already told me you didn't care about grammar. It was more of an aside about my ordeal reading the thing.

    "you did copp out of this because even though the wii has hardcore games, is it enough to feed hardcore gamers?"

    Yes. From your previous statement I could already tell you know next to nothing about the Wii library, but there are actually plenty of hardcore titles out there. You might disagree with some games being labeled that, but hardcore doesn't mean blood, gore, online deathmatches, or an M rating.

    "Please idiotic remarks like that will only get you owned please stop it....."

    I'm just laughing at your warped interpretation of this argument.     Reply
