If there is one thing that is constant about these three companies is that Sony makes failed products.
Beta Max
Mini Disc
and next will be blu ray
I mean who wants to pay for an 80 dollar cable if they don't have a proper TV to run blu ray discs on their PS 3? Not to mention the hefty price tag on their games and console. At those prices I would rather just dump that into a gaming PC, you would get more for your buck and it would be at least upgradeable.
Nintendo has been around for over 100 years, that says something right there. Also, I think Nintendo is going back to its roots, its all about the gamers now. You can dress up some new fancy games with good graphics but overall they are crappy games. I have been playing video games for over 20 years now, so I have seen a lot. There are plenty of newer games that I play thorugh once and are cool but the replay value on them sucks. They look nice and fancy but overall they are just lame. I think a lot of video games have lost their touch with actual game play.
I think that the final fantasy franchise was pretty much destroyed after FF7. The newer ones are just boring, and FFX was way boring towards the end. Graphical content is not the end all be all factor in gaming.
Plus the wii doesn't look like crap by any means, though it is not the most hardware advanced of the three. What it does offer is unique game play, and it may possibly revolutionize gaming again, just like Nintendo did back in the 80s.
I can still pick up contra or zelda and play them with just as much fun as I did years ago, that doesn't really hold true to a lot of more modern games.
