Yeah, I mean pre-ordering is always kind of risky and all but in this case, they really kind of screwed the pooch. Even the demos they had press and people playing at places like PAX and E3 were abandoned for some reason as well...it's disturbing.

Actually, there is material out there that was released by SEGA and Gearbox that shows game footage with "100% In Game Footage" on it in TV commercials, promotional material, etc. The fact that the final result does not look like, or even contain some of that, is flat out false advertising.

Tell that to all the companies who have done it in the past, it's not uncommon at all. Just look at the whole Gearbox/SEGA Aliens issue. Sony and MS have both been called out for using PC's to demo stuff that was far more advanced their consoles...

Actually, the show they did back in Feb? Most of the developers said it was running on a PC with "similar specs to the PS4" not the actual hardware. Chances are it was a dev kit...which is usually more powerful but it has actually bee stated that it wasn't the actual hardware 100%

You do realize that TV at 4K is only like 30hz right? That would be horrible for gaming on....not to mention HDMI2.0 which is required for 4K displays isn't even out yet...

Dunno if it's been said or not, but he was given back $600 (along with the banana) and the carnival, along with local police are looking into the matter.

Definitely agree with the foreigner end of things.

Considering that Japan has a long history of labeling foreigners and not trusting them? This is not surprising at all...

Local MP on the Wii U is probably one of the top 5 things it has going for it. Paring that with local MLP for games like MH3U between the Wii U and 3DS is genius.

Yep, I'll take the dedicated app over the weirdness that a mobile browser can bring any day.

It's because the main purchasing power lately is those who grew up with Nintendo...the people who are 25-35. They grew up in a world where there was really only Nintendo or Sega for over a decade in some cases...it's not hard to see why.

Their service being down for a month, disabling tons of services even not related to PSN for some, isn't a big problem? Imagine that happening with their new service and you can't play any old games or do any of the "new" features the PS4 has.

That was a Nintendo Direct, not at E3. Thankfully they're still doing those, so we'll get plenty of Iwata and odd fruit....

Credit for making it, always fun to do projects like that.

Definitely agree there. This is the reason why I do all my gaming on the largest screen possible at my disposal. Currently everything runs through a 65" plasma, but we're looking to upgrade to a projection system soon. The OR would definitely be nice to have though from an "immersion" standpoint.

But it's not VR...not at all. You still have to use traditional input methods to play the game. Sure there's the crazy 8 way treadmill but you'll still need to use a controller or some other input device. You won't be in the game...it's just a 3D display for your head.

I was stating that the games which are extremely popular are and/or will be available for both systems.

How is it a shaky argument for games? LEGO City Undercover, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Mighty Switch Force, Scribblenauts Unlimited, Funky Barn, etc are all available for the 3DS...at lower prices.

and the fact that the PS3 is pretty much a dead system with the PS4 coming out this year. Might sell a few consoles to hold outs, but what's the point?

It's pretty much already been stated that MH4 has online play for the 3DS...so there's that. Why would they rework MH3U completely to add a feature for a game that's literally coming out in a couple months in Japan?
