what consoles if any do you own? and whats your feelings on the future of gaming?


Who will be the winner of the console war, microsoft, sony or nintendo?

Is there a dark horse on the horizon?

Microsoft eventually, because they will just buy out all the games companies. But Nintendo is my favourite.

i must say nintendo is my favourite, but everyone thinks that all their games are for little kids!!!! there not!

also my take on the playstation craze

at first a few thousand people didnt like the N64, so when the ps1 came out they went mental over it then because a few people bought playstation's others bought playstation's and because those people bought playstation's even more people bought playstation's and so on and so on.

when the n64 came out there was a massive surge, not small surges of people over an extended peiod of time.


CAN I ALSO SAY

here are the percentages in the genre of games on the playstation and xbox

33% War (gunfights, stratergy war games etc.)
33% Sports (this includes fighting!)
33% Racing (you dont need a set of brackets to tell you what racing games are)
1% Other


Even if 50% of Nintendo games are c**p doesnt make the othe 50% c**p!

I cant really say about xbox but you are wrong about the percentages unless every game with a weapon in it is under war. there are a wide range of games on the ps2 like monoply and chess, puzzle games, adventure, platform games (95% on nintendos games are platform games ie mario, how many games about a plummer does the world really need?). Playstations popularity comes from the wide range of games avalible to it and most software companys want to use the platform

this is true Microsoft will own the platform and EA will own all the games :shocking:

Hopefully Ubisoft give EA the giant finger and refuse to be taken over.

OK i totally agree with that, and I understand there are a few games that arent war, fighting etc. BUT sony keeps churning out driving games and fighting games which are the same but with a different name and has slightly different charecters

Nintendo is great for multiplayer games... I never had a nintendo, but one of my mates has a gamecube and another an N64 and the games are just so amazing and enjoyable!!

I do like PS2's though, but more for one player games, amazing!
