I'd say they're on their death bed. Sales in 2011 were down a lot.

UE4 can be optimized for a console though. The question more so is: will they just go to the minimum specs, will they go beyond it, or will they force Epic to optimize UE4 for their system?

17? A rehash I would say would be the same game type done over and over again. While Mario is used quite often for Nintendo titles, he's what sells. And it's, at best, at least different games. 17 games that are the exact same thing, Jesus Christ wtf are you doing, but 17 games and in that you have at least 10…

It's potentially an artistic decision (like the FedEx logo with the arrow), but I'm not sure who I'd be talking to at Ubisoft about it. Maybe I'll Facebook them and get a response.

Us gamers complain about everything.

I see an opportunity for a market that has yet to have a top dog: Smart TVs.

The issue is that if you have powerful consoles at launch, cost goes up, and neither want to lose money in this time period. They've shown that consoles go in cycles for 4 years for a reason- because around year 5 sales begin dropping.

Oh ya know, it's totally 1,007,000,000. I was wrong on both numbers.

Never upgraded mine. Still works. The back is worn to all hell and back, but it still works.

Mario rehashes.

There's been a lot of non-trad releases and the consoles didn't fair well. PSP Go, PS Vita and 3DS all have had poor sales out the gate and didn't launch at holiday. (I should clarify, I mean after their initial launch sales were poor).

That's the issue: millions of people own the consoles already. Sales slumped heavily last year. You think they're going to be better in 2012?

So...are we looking at 701,000,000,000 or 1,000,000,700?

It sounds more like you no longer care for Nintendo IPs and your tastes have changed as you've grown older.

Oh thank God I already own these thanks to Humble Bundle...

I've been saying this.

Despite high unemployment, a recent study says we still spend a ton of cash on things and are still very consumer driven. Despite having less cash than before 2008, we still spend plenty of it.

Uncharted is pretty similar. You'd run around, shoot some things if they got near you, find some things, climb things. I think the main difference is Uncharted is more like a movie.

Yeah, Uncharted seems to honestly be one of the few titles I'd be interested in. That and other Sony titles I haven't gotten to really play.

My backstory of gaming is really non-trad.
