| You're paying $250 for a system that doesn't have HD support and is essentially a GCN + 1/2, you're going to pay way too much for older games, and you're going to pay 60 dollars to get a functional controller (base of 40 + 20 for attachments). They claimed it was supposed to be a cheaper alteranative designed to bring people together or some garbage like that. Sure, I guess, if you don't mine cranking out 250+(60*3). Good luck finding it outside of a bundle...and once they do bundle it before and right after the launch, its simply going to make that 360 look like a good idea.
Let's look at one of the ports using the Wiimote. You get splinter cell, except it looks and performs noticibly worse than the 360 version and is missing levels and online multiplayer.
They're launching too high for what it is ($199 makes it way too appealing) and they're launching at the wrong time. I get their logic. They think that people are going to buy that with their PS3 money instead when they can't find one. It'll happen, sure, but not nearly as much as they think it will.
If you think there won't be a noticable difference, you really don't know what you're talking about. Just going with a basic specifications, it only supports up to EDTV while its competitors are running in HD out the box. Getting down to the guts, they're going to plateau the graphical and performance power very quickly.
You're lying if you say people won't care about graphics. If that were the case, nobody would have ever improved them. |
