NGP Vs. 3DS

[ZAFDeltaForce]

I'd buy the NGP just for the dual analog sticks alone.

The 3DS library doesn't really appeal to me, neither do the titles of Legend of Zelda and Starfox interest me. I suppose it's because I grew up with a PlayStation that I never really learned to appreciate Nintendo titles

Besides, I'm con-3D. I always believed artificial 3D imaging will fuck up our depth perception in the long run, and in the short run just give me headaches. I know you can play 3DS games in 2D, but what the fuck would the 3D in 3DS be for?

That's why Nintendo has succeeded and simply destroyed each and every one of their competitors that stepped up to the plate.

spoken like a true fangirl.

For shame Shabutie. You could've taken the high road and pointed out the one-sidedness of that statement. But no, You gotta be a pink furry Shabutie.

shabutie is the name of an african tribe (but i got it from a band/coheed and cambria). i have this name because when i registered for this site i didn't plan on sticking around. i usually go by xVermicide.
anyway, i don't care about making myself look higher or better or more mature than anyone else. and i think "spoken like a true fangirl/boy" points out the one-sidedness of his statement well enough.

It's hard to be playing fanboy when all I'm doing is stating TRUE facts.

Also, I don't own a Nintendo console except for the 64 and DS. Hell you could be a Microsoft fanboy and just know that Nintendo dominates the gaming market. They're not an easy company to beat. And if you don't think that, then you're a bigger idiot than what I initially thought.

 

[Shabutie78]

And if you don't think that,
are you trying to make yourself seem like a close-minded ass hat who gets angry when others don't agree with their opinions?

...but you thought i'm an idiot because i like nice graphics

 

[ShadowSoldier]

You got me all wrong. See, I'm meaning you. You actually don't think that Nintendo dominates the gaming market?

Eh...kinda. If you talk pure numbers, Nintendo has everybody else beat, but that's because they have staple series. This all comes down to how long they have been developing games for. They have a solid fan base that will keep coming back for various series like Mario and Zelda. The games could suck ass, but most of the fan base won't care, as it's Nintendo. Sony and Microsoft obviously have a large presence though, otherwise we would have the Nintendo Wii, and, well, nothing else. It's been more difficult, as Microsoft had to recover from the bum known as the original Xbox, while Sony took hold last generation and destroyed with the PS2 (which is still having games developed for it), but got off to a really rough start with the original $650 PS3.

A lot of variables came into play this generation, and Nintendo got to play head honcho. The market is always changing though, and Nintendo could easily be knocked away next generation.

Regardless, try to keep on topic. This thread has been derailed pretty heavily. Nintendo being better than everybody else has nothing to do with the NGP or even the 3DS that Nintendo made.

This generation they did dominate. Nintendo had their asses handed to them the last two generations by Sony. The PSX had like 3 times the number of N64 sales. The PS2 had like 7 times the number of Gamecube sales (more than that, actually). They only won in the handheld sector because there was no competition. I mean, a few rival handhelds came along but they were from companies that were hardly in the race anymore. Nintendo essentially monopolized there. The fact the PSP got as many sales as it did is still pretty good. And honestly, for console sales, I don't see Nintendo exactly getting the same advantage it did this generation. All consoles next generation will have an aspect appealing to casual gamers. The PS3 and Xbox 360 were years into the game before they finally developed motion peripherals for "casual" gamers. Honestly, I'm feeling that next generation the Wii 2 will not do nearly as well as the Wii. It'll probably be competing against consoles that have an equal amount of casual appeal and probably even more graphical power and features. And with the Wii 2 rumored to be at $400, I don't see the next set of Microsoft/Sony consoles launching for much more than that.

And I would not say there is any superiority of the DS game library over the PSP one. For every couple of "good" DS games there's a "great" PSP game. It's a matter of quantity vs. quality.

NGP.
Looks awesome.

 

[Juanmatron]

No one of them!

 

[IchigoK2031]

I probably won't end up getting either, but if I would get one I would pick the NGP. idk the 3DS, just doesn't appeal to me... idk y, prolly just not into the "3D" aspect of it. Just my 2 cents :3
