Hehe, I agree Stumpus. But I also do agree with what he saying, Nintendo will be at the top again soon enough. And all will be right with the world. Smile

From a market view: Depends if Nintendo ever get the large 3rd party developers they had back like in 90's.

My view: If Halo 3 comes out, a new KotOR for the Xbox - Final Fantasy and Shadow of the Colossus for the PS3 and more wierd controller things for Wii I couldn't care less. :3

I really do beleive that PS3 is dead in the water and they could do themselves less long term damage by just dumping the ill thought out piece of poo that it is and trying again. And put some decent amount of freaking video ram in it next time!

Eh, they can't really dump it...It's too late now. They will lose what fan base they have. What about all those people that paid 600$ for the system? It's too late to reverse what has been done, without completely destroying their fan base (not the fan boys of course, but the people like my dad that don't care, let alone know whats going on with the system till it comes outa nd he gets it. He has a ps3, I'm far from impressed, but that shouldn't suggest that I believe Sony should just go and dump it.)

Valve, bunch of professionals that complain all the time. Rich off 1 game and 1 really successful mod. Their engine now is so good that not only do they have problems meeting deadlines, but their mod community suffers as a result.

I believe it depends on what you play that makes a console popular or not. Each one is popular in it's own respect. Nintendo is geared more to any age and more to young people. It's also a lot cheaper and will get even cheaper. Will it overcome sales of others in time, maybe who knows. But imo, because of the above only.

have to agree with xxxx. hmm TF2 was just a project, and the new "TF2" is nothing like what it was suppose to be. should be called Toon fortress instead.
