@Shirow: Always look for the worst. If it comes true you wont be shocked. If its wrong you can be pleasantly surprised.

I have seen very little to make me confident in the next generation of gaming.

The Vita is floundering and adding even more restrictions to it, the 3DS doesn't have much that interests me and STILL has region locking, iOS gaming still sucks, the Wii U's 3rd party line up are games I've already played, and still no news from Sony or Microsoft, and now this article.

The situation with the Vita s actually kinda depressing. It has so much potential.

the Wii U's initial line up is primarily made up of ports or remakes or something?

again?

Actually, the Wii U didn't fully ditch motion controls.

actually i wonder the cost of average japanese game is. most of their game hardly sales 1 million. some of them even break 100 k mark. but enough for company like NIS and from software to stay float.

Out of curiosity, does anyone here know the average markup percentage of a AAA game?

I refuse to give the Wii U any consideration until some evidence is presented that its controller won't suck horribly.

Everyone who's talked about the thing said that the controller's a lot more comfortable than it looks.

Everybody who has actually held it has so far cited as finding it very comfortable.

Likewise, play a Classic Controller if you don't like it. I'm sure somebody else'll like the Tablet, especially in multiplayer Smash.(hey, as long as the Wii U can use two... people'll be happy for any multiplayer game, mainly Fighting ones)

@ Thorn: but when you always look for the worst, you never enjoy things any more.

It's why negative people in gaming are seen as entitled because they think everything should cater to their negative veiw points, but no one cares much about them.

At the same time, though, criticism is also important for growth. Being a whiner is bad, but offering nothing but praise is bad, too.

I sure said that!

It would be interesting to have a graph of gaming costs over the lifetime, see how much each game cost over time.

For a sample base, I'd simply go with 1000 games to play before you die, mainly because it has a large sample of AAA games.
