"Nintendo's on track to become primarily a software company."—Bing Gordon

I have a feeling the whole reason Zynga went public in the first place was because the owners knew the company was on the slide.

Great article... not that I needed any instructions buying games. One thing I'd like to add is that if you can wait 6 months after a release, and do some bargain hunting you'll find most games on sale for half their original price. There are a few exceptions to this rule (like most major Activision games), but for…

Like most people I don't really like the idea, but it's not so much the device that scares me as much as what people are willing to do w/ it. I'm the same way w/ weapons.

The DS, 3DS, and psp all had pretty miserable launches, but have ultimately all become successful (yes the psp was a success). I think the Vita's library is looking pretty good right now, but I only need a handful of good games on my portables. Essentially my DS survived on the Puzzle Quest series, and GTA: CTW. My…

wow it's been a pretty good week for quotes.
