How the low-tech Wii won this year's console war
| quote: | excerpt from story:
Elsewhere, the biggest disappointment of the year has been Microsoft's failure to capitalise on its monopoly. The Xbox 360 has had the next-gen market to itself and the Christmas shelves should be bulging with goodies from in-house developers. Instead, the company is relying heavily on one title, Gears of War, with Viva Piņata its only grudging acknowledgement of the fact that not all gamers are American teenage boys obsessed with sci-fi, sport and fantasy violence.
Sony will recover from its annus horribilis because it has an amazing machine and unparalleled brand recognition. But I'm not sure Microsoft has the breadth of vision to flourish away from home. I expect 2007 will be a two-horse race, and I doubt we'll see Bill Gates in either saddle. |

Better comsole not one which has best graphics, design or name, but that one which will have biggest amount of quality games! It's the only one term to win in that competition! I as i know Nintendo's team potential i guess they will be the first:)
Their consoles where always best for me. |

Now now, lets not get too fanboyish here... While N64 and Gamecube each had games that deffinately compete or even dominate the top spots on any "Best game ever" list... they were far and few between, and everything else was, for the most part, .
Nintendo's games have always been the best games on the market, along with Konami, Capcom and SquareEnix. But their consoles? Since SNES, not so much... |

I agree with that.
But so far none of the new consoles really have a line up of games that is compelling to me. If and when one of them does, I'll consider purchasing it. Until then, they can sit on the shelf going down in price. |
