  • Gaming Demand: Halo 3 Snipes GTA4; Wii Still Dominates Consoles [View article]
    Pre-orders sales are higher because Halo 3 had 2 limited editions SKUs. It was great marketing on Microsoft's part.

  • EA's Dr. Andrew Garrett: Skip the PlayStation3 [View article]
    I disagree. Even "if" technically the PS3 is more powerful (i say "if" because it's debatable), the need for creative thinking cancels that strength out.

    ex. Pretty games that don't play well, will not sell systems.

    As for game support.... that's shrinking fast for Sony. Once exclusive games like Grand Theft Auto and Virtua Fighter are making there way to the Xbox 360, with many rumored to follow.

    I believe the majority of the game community gave up on the PS3 back in May of last year at E3.

  • EA: Microsoft, Sony, We Have a Problem [View article]
    I'm sorry but there are a lot of plot holes in your post.

    How has EA "been riding the gravy train"?
    Could you list all the "exclusive" PS2 titles Vs. non exclusive?
    Does your model include PS2 as a significant player for the next 3 to 4 years?

    How will THQ and Activision fare against Nintendo and its power house of games?
    -I believe EA said they are aiming to be number two on the Wii.

    Just a few of many questions.

  • Wii Outselling PS3 by Wide Margin in Japan [View article]
    Nintendo has tons of upside. The one year old DS lite is still hard to find in Japan(and right now in some areas of the US). Same goes for the Wii.

    Vista: End of a Revolution? I'm sure everyone in the Tech industries would agree that Vista is just an necessary evolution. By the way, where the hell is that flying car.....

  • Is Microsoft Applying Its Tough XBox 360 Marketing Lessons To Zune? [View article]
    Excess Xbox 360 is only half the reason why MS cut it's projection. Me thinks that MS will update the Xbox 360 sometime after June.

  • It's Game Time: Game Console and Software Stock Update [View article]
    I'm Sorry. I just get frustrated when I see articles that are very off the mark. I feel that it does a disservice to the readers. It's easy for me to spot the holes in this article, since I'm a video game nut, but I can't say the same for someone else.

    So I find my self asking the question, How confident should i be in Seeking Alpha when reading other articles involving subjects i have no knowledge in?

    Maybe Seeking Alpha should ask the editors at Joystiq.com or Kotaku.com when it comes to matters relating to video games.
