i read a post on some ps3 forums where all these people were waiting in line at a circuit city in virginia for their systems for like 3 days... then the manager comes out and tells them in the morning 2 hours before they open that the shipping company "lost" their shipment. then some of the people in line called the news stations, Fox news came out, and suddenly the store manager says they're for sale again. Turns out he and the employees were just gonna keep them all for themselves... what a greedy pig LOL I hope that guy gets fired.
if the stores were smart they would just let as many people that wanted the system to come just before they open and put their name in a raffle, and if their name is called and they don't claim it right away, they just go to the next name. that way it wouldn't encourage people to sit out there and wait for days and it would remove most of the "hype" BS that sony intentionally tried to create

Funny how people bash Nintendo so much, I'll ask you this.
How many times has there been widespread reports of any serious system malfunctions????
N64 was way ahead of its time. NES was way ahead of its time. SNES was way ahead of its tiem. need i say more? If wii's are for younger audiences? then why is everyone i know buying them, most of 21+ (im using 21 cause thats your legal age to do w/e)? its because the games are rockin. i haven't even heard much hype about any launch games from the 360 (when it was 1st released) or the ps3.Idealsupra said:and ill ask you this: when has ninetndo put out a system with anything NEAR the graphics and processing power as sony or microsoft? let alone the extras of dvd player etc built in....
bottom line is the wii's are for younger audiences...the ps3s are for the teen+ demographic.
That's the point, every other company is sooo focused on graphics that they forget the games are supposed to be fun.Idealsupra said:and ill ask you this: when has ninetndo put out a system with anything NEAR the graphics and processing power as sony or microsoft? let alone the extras of dvd player etc built in....

GC had better graphics than ps2, xbox was the best graphically.
All have good games but Nintendo has always been more consistent and not put out a bunch of crap games and a few highlights, mainly ps2 on that one.
Idealsupra said:you honestly think gamecube had better graphics then ps2? are you insane? you just lost all your right ot have an opinion on this subject :biglaugh:
nintendo puts out the same damn games for every system... zelda and 1000billion versions of games with mario and yoshi etc..... they have good party games and thats IT.
i will say the wii has an interesting setup and could be fun...and the red steel game looks pretty cool..... but as fun as the interface is.... if the graphics suck and its "slow" it just isnt fun to me.

N64 should have given up the cartridges since they were dated.OneJoeZee said:N64 was not way ahead of it's time. Playstation one was still a better console than 64. the only thing N64 did was keep those nintendo die hards happy with a new better system.
nintendo did a smart thing by making wii a different type of console than 360 and ps3. If it just had normal controllers and the same titles as the other 2 with their normal nintendo franchise games(which are good, not hating) they would be overshadowed again...
gamecube had some really nice games, but overall it was never as competitive as PS2 or xbox.
