everyone might say that 360 is better, but its the little things in the graphics and the advantage of blu ray that stand out,

link

imagine this playing on ur HD tv, small things like the way the environment breaks up and the lighting, to have all this exactly the same would require blu ray, if its compressed then u just wont get the same effect

I live in Canada. price differences.


and in Canada practically no electronic stores sell the 20gb one anymore.

And in future shop they raised the price about 80 bucks because they want more money from each sale.... BECAUSE, it is barley selling.

if u studied economics like i do the worst thing they could do is raise the price,

if price goes up, demand goes down, they are only selling it at the recomended price, sony is selling it to them for less than 600 US

P.Moore ever get the feeling that some companies try to sell overpriced products? The 360 and PS3 are essentally the same thing, the PS3 just has graphics that are .2X better then the 360 and there is really no difference between them with that margin. Sony is just being greedy right now for their expenisive console. It would be better to get a 360 right now for its libery of games right now.

o right so sonys greedy now? they provided us with free online at launch, they provide us with free demos, they provide us with ps1 games that cost less than nes games, they include incredible amounts of content, the ps3 lets u use ur psp anywhere in the world and access ur ps3 content, u can watch videos stored on ur ps3, u can use its internet browser, u can even get stuff off usb devices connected to ur ps3 anywhere in the world!

now wii
they charge way too much for nes snes sega and n64 games! they have yet to provide us with any online games!
it doesnt support playing all ur favourite media, u are restricted to jpeg and specially converted videos (shit quality) it doesnt play dvds, it doesnt even play music cds! nintendo overpriced the system, they are the only company making a profit on each console sold! how greedy! they could of included lots of things like dvd playback and still make money.

nintendo is the greediest company of them all!
microsoft provides next gen content
sony provides next gen content and free online services
nintendo doesnt provide next gen content and they charge u to play a nes game that doesnt cost them anything to make

i dont understand why people spend so long arguing over game systems, its really just the personal choice of what the costumer prefers. Its not gunna make a difference arguing cuz in the end they are still gunna prefer xbox over playstation or vice versa.

Sony has been doing the “me too” Straigty for too long. Know what was the first system with free online? The DS sony took that. You are still complaning about NES games being too expensive? P.Moore you are just pathetic you say a mere $5 or $6 is too much for an old game? You are either really conserned about spending money or you are just really poor. Oh you say the wii charges too much for games, what about the PS3? It has Tekken 5 dark ressurection a bad port of the PSP game for $20 and it has no online multiplayer and nothing new. You say nintendo is overpriced try sony. Oh you think those games cost nothing to make? You have no knowlege on games at all Think back 20 years when games were just pixels, do you think they had the technology back then to make games look the way they do today? You are a bigger retard then I ever imagned. Back then those games costed hundreds of dollars to make. Those were the cutting edge graphics in the 8-bit era they are cheaper now because after 20 years of aging the orginals just retain the same stuff and sell for very little anymore.

Oh since when does it MATTER for a game console to have all those extra features? never why do you think the DS is doing better then the PSP? The Wii does not have those features and it is proving one major thing, power is not everything. Think to the Cold war when the U.S. and the U.S.S.R were on the verge of Nuclear war for more then 50 years, the U.S. and the USSR were equal in terms of power in the world and both were the most powerful countries at this time, Near the end of the cold war and the fight against communism the only way the other country would win is by outlasting the other, while the U.S. put most of its money into the betterment of the land while the USSR put its money into making weapons, too many in fact, this caused the country to collsape and the USSR ended. To make a long story short if you only seek power you are just destroyed by it, such can be the case in what the PS3 is doing it is trying to tell everyone to buy it because it is the most powerful system but you cannot go by power alone you have to go by how it uses it and how it supports it. Such would be the case on why the U.S. won the cold war.

P. Moore, I am tired of you always saying Nintendo is the greediest company just for a few characteristics you have observed. Your not looking at the big picture. That is why I made an analysis just for you P. Moore, so I can try and make things a little more clear. You will find that when you take time to read it and be a little open minded, everything should be made clear.

Nintendo’s aim was to make an AFFORDABLE console. Last time I checked $250 is less than $600. And you seem to be missing Nintendo’s aim. Not only did they want their console to be affordable, they wanted it to be simple yet fun. Instead of following their competitors they tried something new. It’s easy to do the predictable, but it takes balls to make a console that’s less powerful than the other consoles while taking such a huge risk.

Their risk was either make something completely new and have everyone love it and change gaming, or make something completely new and have it flop resulting in a massive loss of money. If Nintendo is as greedy as you say then they would not have taken the risk. Do you know why Nintendo took that risk? It’s because they’re passionate about games, not money. Sure every company’s aim is to make money and win the console wars, but to Nintendo the consumer is the winner not the companies, as stated by Reggie. Would a greedy company say that? Would a greedy company care about their consumers that much, even though they may not be fans of their company? Obviously not.

Nintendo’s focus is on making games, not media, which is also another risk. Take you for example. Your always complaining about Wii not being able to play DVD’s, music and other media, yet you say Nintendo is greedy because of that. How is focusing on the primary task greedy? What about Xbox Live? You pay them money and and you can use different types of media of your 360. Yet we have ipods and computers for that stuff, so why would Microsoft charge you for something you can already get for free? Not only are they charging you for something that you can easily get for free, but those features aren’t even meant to be used on a game console. Microsoft is doing this and your saying Nintendo are the greedy ones? It’s not all about media.

Nintendo’s version of this is the virtual console, which you pay to play games from multiple different consoles. Now we all have to remember each company needs to make a profit, no company just gives everything for free. The virtual console is one of those things that just can’t be given away for free. Some of the games on the Virtual Console are even legends in the gaming world. Super Mario Bros. for example is the best selling game in history, and you know what? It only cost $5. Who would be so cheap as to think five measly dollars for the best selling console in history is a rip off? What about Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time? It’s widely credited as being the BEST game of all time, even better than most of today’s games. Let’s make a small comparison. You can buy one of today’s games for $60, or you can get the best game of all time for six times less. Who in the world would think that’s a rip off? Most of the time I noticed only graphics whores would thinks it’s a rip off. You P. Moore, are a cheap graphics whore which is why you’lle never understand the virtual console.

Now let’s talk about the online. We all know that you have to pay yearly for Xbox live. But what about PS3’s online? Oh, it’s free you’lle say. That’s where you are mistaken. If your a Sony fan then you should very well know that Sony has permitted developers to charge subscription fees. Now developers haven’t charged anything yet, but if they are permitted then eventually they will use that to their advantage, especially since the Cell makes game harder and very expensive to program for, so developers will want to make that up. Lets say a developer charges subscription fees for online play for their game. Let’s say it costs about $10 a year to play online for that particular game. If your not one of the people who think $5 for the best selling game ever or $10 for the best game ever created is too expensive, then you should find that very reasonable. But let’s look at a scenario. Lets say that because of this, a chain reaction starts. Lets say that many more developers start charging subscription fees for online play. You pay $10 for every game that you want to play online. If your one of the hardcore gamers who love to play online, then by the end of the year you could have been charged over $100 just because of that. I’m not exaggerating either, this most certainly is a possibility. That doesn’t sound very fair to the gamer does it? Just the fact that Sony has permitted developers to charge subscription fees shows they don’t care about the consumer. Now lets look at Nintendo. Although not a lot of online games are out yet, they will come soon enough. Games like Battalion Wars 2 and Super Smash Bros. Brawl will have online, and they’re going to be huge. People would more than gladly pay to play online in Super Smash Bros. Brawl because it’s such a huge game. They have worldwide tournaments for this game and millions of people are in it because this is such a huge game. But what’s the price? How much does it take to play online with such a huge game against people all around the world? Some people may guess a higher price, but the truth is..... it’s free. That’s right. Nintendo Wi-Fi is free of charge. There are no hidden fees and Nintendo hasn’t permitted developers to charge for online play. This is the only online out of the three consoles that is completely free.

Now lets look at the big picture. Every company has to make money. Some companies like to make money a little more than others. Most people would refer to these companies as greedy. Now when you look at it every company has their own greedy characteristics. In the gaming community, you seem to think Nintendo is the greedy one. However with the huge risks they took, their passion about games, their devotion to the consumer, reasonable virtual console prices, free online, and all the free channels and updates you get, I can safely say Nintendo is not greedy at all, but simply doing what a normal company would do. They’re not charging you for everything and being greedy. They’re just functioning as a company should.
