I think that the N64 was amazing... Oh well... Lol.

And yeah... I wonder when all of the next gen consoles will be released... It would be cool if they were released all on the same day..... Why? Because then we could truly see who has the best start in competition.

And..... I hope that Nintendo goes back to cartridges! YEAH! That would be great.

What was said in this has completely backfired the "Q-Man" in this months EGM rumour section. They are trying to say that Nintendo might follow with other former 2nd parties and leave. i just busted up laughing after reading that. And I hope the next-next(?) generation console from Nintendo has an ORIGINAL Name!! Gawd. PS3 and XBox2 are soo friggin lame. But IMO, Nintendo isn't just gonna quit. They have too much of a fanbase to just quit on. Like me

Nobody said yet that the next Playstation or Xbox consoles would be called PS3 and Xbox2, respectively. I don't know what you're smoking.

I hope not... cause I could only see Sony winning that war.. hell, I could only see Sony winning any war.

The only way PS3 will do worse is if people see the faults of PS2, which The Game has already stated. Now, I think its safe to say that PS2 sold well based on PSX, because the launch well, lets face it, not the best games. So unless the PS2 does bad in its last 3 years (mind you GTA:VC is not helping the competition), PS2 will give the same amount of hype.

Unless they REALLY screw up PS3.

Crono_Link, if you're not going to elaborate on your comment I'll just assume you're talking out of your ass

'PS3' is rumoured to be powered by the 'Cell' technology, which has been in heavy development for years already. And now with rumours of Sony using their own disc called the 'Blu Ray Disc' which holds about 9 times as much space as a DVD with full out DD5.1 sound, things are sounding better.

I don't see any negatives regarding the upcoming Sony console. I mean, the success of the PS2 has already forced Microsoft to cut the lifespan of the XBox shorter than they would like and to release 'XBox2' before or at the same time as 'PS3'.

Calm down guys. I just said I think it won't sell better than Playstation 2. It was just a guess. {PS3 will be awesome and I know it'll be a million times better than PS2 but PS2 was the only new generation console at its time. My guess is that if GC, Xbox, and PS2 all came out the same time, PS2 wouldn't be dominating the gaming industry. Around where I live, all my friends have a PS2 just because everyone was dying for it back then... The only one game they have is an NBA game which they never really play.

When I said I think it won't sell better, I was talking about the gamers I know of. These guys just bought a PS2 just because of the DVD player and for one sport game. My friends are pretty smart but when it comes to gaming, they're the biggest dumbasses ever. So now they don't even touch their PS2's and knowing that, I am sure they won't buy a PS3.

What I am trying to say is that PS2 sold well because so many non-gamers bought it and aren't even touching it right now. I am glad Sony is doing well and I really like the company Sony, but many people don't buy a PS2 for the games... Do you know what I am getting to? If you don't then I am sorry I am explaining this in a gay way but I am certain that the people who don't ever play their PS2 will not buy a PS3 unless it turns out to be like a super computer type of new technology thing...

That is good

Joeiss · 11-02-2002, 11:43 PM

I am pretty sure most of the people who you claim have not used their PS2's since the beginning are probably playing GTA: VC right now.

And..... I wonder if Nintendo's next console will use regular DVD format, rather than the mini-disks.... I think that this will be better, you know, for the extra space and such.

And it would be sweet if the next GameBoy used the mini-disks... Now that would be amazing.

GameKinG · 11-03-2002, 12:23 AM

Maybe they will develop a high-capacity mini-disc. That way we have backward compatiblity.

That's a good idea.

Angrist · 11-03-2002, 08:04 AM

We could have backward compatibility if they discs were bigger...

What if Panasonic develops something not-disc? Something not-rotating? Like a crystal cube, with the information stored in 3D?
I think I've heard something about such a system.

fingersman · 11-03-2002, 10:41 AM

If Nintendo wants to realease their system the sametime as Sony ( which sorta makes sense)...they better have it backward compatible or it might piss of alot of people, who thought the Cube would stick around for 6 years or so........I think Shiggy said something around those lines about the Cube.....that Nintendo plaaned to support beyond the normal console lifespan.

Joeiss · 11-03-2002, 12:54 PM

Oh yeah.... I remember that... But I really do not think that people will mind getting a new Nintendo system as long as : the graphics are immensely better (duh, all new systems are), and a Mario game is released at launch time!!!!
