Once the console Marketplace has sales like Steam, it will be all over. Their prices are still too high for most of their products.Safe Bet said:I use to think the same way, but Apple and Steam have proven DD is the future.
IE
Steam storing my library and game saves for me?
Yes please...

Gravijah said:hey dude it's gonna have fuckin' nintendogs w/ cats and animal crossing

Vinci said:What're you babbling about again?
Gravijah said:you never know
could be
maybe.
The Take Out Bandit said:They would need to be some charming motherf*cking polygons, ten times more charming than those polygons in Wind Waker.
Gravijah said:what if it's sprite based? think of the sprites the 3DS could pump out.
The Take Out Bandit said:The problem here is I have zero interest in 3D.
I'd be content with a sprite based game. :\
3D is a useless gimmick WRT sprite based games as there's still a lot of room for expansion in sprite based games with increased resolution and frames of animation alone. If they did that and slapped 3D gimmicks on it, it wouldn't make me appreciate the game any more or less.
Oh and also still the busted two screen model. I can only ever be looking at one image, and the bullsh*t they pulled this generation with some games "PRETEND IT'S ONE BIG SCREEN, IGNORE THE PLASTIC IN THE MIDDLE" sucks.
Brimstone said:The problem with DD for game consoles is data size. Sure hard drives get more capacity, but the amount of data created by companies like ID software gets larger at the same time.
RSTEIN said:PiperJaffray just took a hatchet to, well, the entire video game industry after GameStop's recent quarterly results. Someone clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.
I don't think I can copy the report but I will quote some key stuff:
On GameStop:
On the Industry:
On console cycles:

anonymousAversa said:Yes but so do transfer rates. 100mb/s internet anyone?
shidoshi said:But really, I'd argue that was the exception, not the rule. Most games didn't do that. And either way, with the 3DS and its screens no longer having matching sizes and resolution, I expect to see that far, far less. How awkward would it be for somebody to try to use both screens as one big screen when one is widescreen and one isn't? Very, and I'm sure most developers are smart enough to realize that.

TToB, unlike AstroLad and Anihawk, is not a joke character. It's really how he is!Kilrogg said:Wait, I thought TToB was pulling an AstroLad/Anihawk.
He was, wasn't he?

Gravijah said:To be honest I don't give a shit about 3D, it's mostly just there for me. It'll be cool to see randomly, but I'll usually have that stuff turned off...
ahh, I see.RSTEIN said:Well, I'm an analyst too so I get these reports through a service that aggregates all analyst reports on all companies. It requires a password. I would like to just post the actual report but I don't think I can for copyright reasons and stuff.
Vinci said:My interest in the 3DS comes from this: Third parties need another PS2. Badly. The 3DS has a very strong shot at being that for them, so long as they build its market alongside Nintendo. Lots of money could and should be made. That's what I care about. I'm tired of people losing their jobs.
I've never given a shit about 3D, so whether that will end up being a cool thing for me or not, I don't know. But for now, I couldn't care less.

ToxicAdam said:Riiight. Maybe for Japan.
Western children still care about cutting-edge graphics.
Majine said:I haven't heard 3DS in the context to Next Gen that much, even though it should be.
BigNastyCurve said:That's because he is wrong, sir. 3ds is an iteration.
