Please be aware that these are all rumors and there is not substantial proof behind any of the "Durango" or "Orbis" claims.

But yeah, not buying any next-gen console if this turns out to be true.

nintendo better get off it's ass in the gaming department for this next generation then, because i found the wii's game library to be absolutely DISMAL

that's what I thought about XBox 360.

anyways, the music industry gave up on drm, the ebook industry is in the process of learning the same lesson, and the gaming industry will do the same. that, or the hacking scene will live up to new challenges :)

If you thought that about the 360, then... you must have also thought that about the PS3? Unless you meant you thought that BEFORE the 360 was released and are referring to the original Xbox's games?

I have both a PS3 and a Wii. Both have great games and a number of pretty neat exclusives.

I have access to a 360 now, and I have yet to find (or be shown) a single exclusive game on it that I would be excited about.

To be fair, I don't care about online gameplay aspect at all, but from what I saw that's where the 360 shines.

I'm just going to throw MGS4, Tekken 6, the Uncharted series, and Gran Tourismo 5 out there. The two xbox exclusives I took the time to try were Dead Rising 2 and Fable II, and they both didn't meet my expectations at all.

I don't own either system..but I do buy used games. I think it'll be the companies downfall if they start making people buy games brand new..now my question is let's say I get this so called system(s) and I get a game..it get's broken and I have to buy a new one..do I have to start all over cuz games have to be registered? I'd hate myself for buying a system like that

this wasn't exactly a generation of exclusives

neither 360 or PS3 have many exclusives that i care about; both have practically the same library
i have a 360 because it came out first and didn't cost a bajesusillion when it came out
certainly not because of exclusive content

nintendo on the other hand seemed to aim for almost strictly exclusive content and i feel they've suffered because of it
i'm not saying all wii games are bad, but if you want to play something that isn't NINTENDO your wii can't help you

in my mind (despite the ongoing fuss and feud and with of course some technical differences) 360=PS3 when it comes to your gaming experience

Tekken 6 isn't a PS3 exclusive.

Dead Rising 2 isn't exclusive either.

You're not wrong about the Wii having a limited library of worthwhile titles, but I don't know if that's really Nintendo's fault.  The general nature of the Wii and how prevalent it became with newer casual gamers made it really easy to churn out shovelware and turn a sizable profit.  I'd say lazy developers carry a pretty hefty chunk of the blame for how the Wii ended up.

I'm kinda going by "how much gaming content would I lose if this console vanished tomorrow", and thinking like that there's quite a lot for the Wii, not much for the ps3, and nothing at all for the 360 for me. The Wii is a gaming console in a class of its own, ps3 and 360 at this point are basically pcs specialized for living room convenience.

There are heaps of crap on Wii though, can't argue with that. But that doesn't mean there isn't a decent number of good games on it, even if very few of these are third party games.

I too think that ps3 and xbox are very alike, but my personal preference is ps3.  I prefer the online system thing going on.

yes, but i don't consider that class to be up to snuff with the gaming standard

i view it as an auxiliary system, not one i'd choose as my main

If microsoft or Sony or whatever does do this "no used games" things they had better make their game exclusives of A++ quality if they are going to get gamers to buy their stuff since so many people hate the idea of no used games and won't buy a system because of that. That is the only reason I would buy a system like that only if they had A++ quality games.
The only Mugen creator on this site without a "gay" purple name.  :-X

Little known FACT: If you use the equation, (z)velocity = (((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)^.5) / time and z = a small decimal number in mugen you can get something that follows something else. Useful for heat seeking missiles, black holes, magnet effects, a projectile aimed for an enemy's head... Seriously, try it! It's awesome!

It's okay Microsoft is already working on a AAAA title. That's one A more than usual.

360 is just as good as the PS3, 360 has MUCH better online support while the PS3 has many more good games. DRM on either one would suck, but i would be lying if i said i wouldn't buy it because of that. The Wii on the other hand is a flaming pile of shit right now. Don't you dare say it's better than the PS3 or the 360. Limited, almost no online support, it's own gimmick, motion controls, are still extremely shitty after 6 years, terrible control scheme, it has no power in graphics or anything, most games cant even support 10 character models on a screen at one time, shitty games, as a matter of fact only 3 worthwhile games come out for it yearly for the last 4 years. I cant even name 30 good games for it that would warrant a buy. Who cares if 360 is pretty much all 3rd party games, even XBLA games are better than most Wii games.

Don't say that. You'll have a bunch of niggas come in here and turn it into a debate about how the 360 is less powerful and how Live is the biggest scam on earth.

Although there is nothing that will ever urge me to buy a shitty Nintendo console, which at this point has become less about the games and more about what new gimmicks they can come up with.

I think Nintendo itself has been a recent pile of shit.

It seems that since the days of sticking to a cartridge format instead of moving to a Disc based medium (N64 anyone??), Nintendo has reduced itself to a selfish mess.

The SNES, to this day, still kicks ass. Fuck, even the 8-Bit NES still rocks hard. Nintendo had very good 3rd party support back in the 8 and 16 bit days. Perhaps it was bad business practices or whatnot, but yeah, Nintendo sucks in my eyes. Don't get me wrong though, their first party franchises are still amazing, even if its the same game, just revised. I love Mario and Zelda, but I want more than just Mario and fucking Zelda. Nintendo has been overly reliant on their small golden stable. If you think about it, we have been playing the same core titles since the 16 bit days (Mario Kart, I'm looking at you) with the same characters and gameplay elements. Nintendo needs to desperately change their plan, and they need to do it quick, or the Wii U is going to repeat Nintendo's recent track record.

I'm sticking to the SNES and my F-Zero GX machine for Nintendo goodness.

Speaking of bad business practices, read this blurb:
