Stop trolling, Summa. :P

The thing with nintendo is that most of their games are downright fun, despite them being rehashed plots/characters (and now graphics)

Ah, how cute, someone is bitter because someone else is actually making money in the video game console (and handheld) business. Meanwhile, Microsoft is expected to stop bleeding cash and actually break even on its dreams of Xbox world gaming domination in...2025.

It just amazes me that such a stupid backward company that puts out the same games year after year with shitty graphics can make money while other brilliantly herculean godlike companies who put out the same games year after year but with great graphics seem to be sucking so much ass. WTF? You know what I think it is? It's the Summa curse! Summa is like the poor sons of bitches that always pick the wrong side in a war. They quickly sidle up to whoever they think is strongest only to get their ass handed to them by the spunky underdog.

Well, I hope they take a chunk of that cash to secure some exclusives. Hey, I love the first party games but I'm burnt out already. I want some quality third party stuff.

hm summa bite ass noob, your just pissed because the company you hate is handing everyones asses to them.

You bore me, Summa! I'm bored!

I need to ask...what company does not milk it's franchises? Konami? Capcom? EA? Square Enix? You don't think that if it could, Microsoft would keep Halo going forever? Seems like Nintendo gets to be the scapegoat since they've had the luxury of being around longer for their franchises really to be mined. But I don't see any other big companies taking a different route in publishing.

"Nintendo, printing money on the backs of diehard loyalists since 1985."

It is a corporation that creates products that people want to buy. This is the goal of most corporations, and they happen to be doing it well lately. You may as well flame McDonalds for hocking shitty hamburgers with the same clown for god knows how long.

yawn indeed.

Dammit, my sister just bought a DS, lol. She just had to help them along.

Sneaky Nintendo, tricking me into giving them money by making systems and games I want to play.

As far as i see it, nintendo by far has the best marketing strtegy of all 3, easily. And why did summa respond to the biggest gaming insult you could ever be called by saying "it prints money"?

nope

Yeah, I don't agree with the NDF above that Nintendo are all about the Benjamins. True, the Wii has a barren spell until Metroid Prime 3 and Super Mario Galaxy, but...

Holy moley, Batman! We've played those games before!

We've played them before? That's weird, considering that they haven't been released yet, and all. Hur hur.

But seriously. Why does Nintendo continue to get all this flak for having sequelitis (Mario this, Zelda that, Metroid the other, true enough), when the Same. God. Damn. Thing. also applies to the PS3?

Funny how I hear so much about how when Metal Gear Solid 4 and Final Fantasy Motherfucking XIII are released, that all those who bashed the PS3 will be eating their words or some shit. Well, either that or I hear how the PS3 will be so boned if MGS4 and/or FFXIII are ported to the Xbox360 and are no longer exclusive to PS3, that is. Y'know, sort of like the uproar surrounding Devil May Cry 4 and such.

I hope you're right, though, because yeah, MGS4, FFXIII, and the inevitable Silent Hill 5 are really the only things so far that make me even remotely interested in the PS3, assuming of course they don't also appear on the 360.

See above paragraph re: Nintendo's supposed lack of games, as well.

Man, this sounds so familiar. It almost sounds like all of this stuff has been rehashed to death a million times before. *slaps hands to cheeks* Surely not!

The weird thing is, the whole "same ol' games over and over" thing I ranted about in my last comment seems to be just a Sony vs Nintendo thing. What about the Xbox360?

They seem to be the only ones coming out with new stuff these days.

I mean, there's Mass Effect (the forty-eleven billionth derivative of the same RPG Bioware has been making for the past 10 years or so), Bioshock (another FPS, which has been billed plenty of times as the spiritual successor to System Shock 2), Assassin's Creed (what, in essence, boils down to yet another stealth game), Fable 2 (which might be everything Fable 1 promised to be and more... maybe), Halo 3 (Halo 2 (Halo 1)), and...

No, I can't go any further. Except for Halo 3, all of those are games that I look forward to.

So yeah, if we're gonna sling shit, might as well go for the atom bomb approach rather than the sniper rifle. None of the consoles are perfect. None of them are completely hopeless either.

As for me, I'd prefer to just futilely sling shit^W^W^W STFUAJPG.

i agree.
