The next generation of video games
nihilist:
ATI has a new generation of vid cards that isn't based on the 9700 core. More info: http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=20919
I think ATI may be going with a common GPU that can be programmed to do anything. That'd be just awesome.

"As for Nintendo, the GameCube was lame...especially the controller w/that BIG green utton that seems to hide the 3 that are around it. I just haven't been impressed w/Nintendo as of late. They aren't the trend setters anymore, they're followers, hence their position in the console market. Look at the stupid GameBoy for example. The basically the same crap screen since the first GameBoy. I'm reading about thin screens that can wrap around cans that Coca-Cola could use for advertising, yet Nintendo couldn't think of doing what Sony was doing? Nintendo is dying a slow painful death. They should just cave into the rumors and make games for all the consoles right now, because they will make money back that they've lost since they came out w/the GameCube."
They've made more profit than either Sony or Microsoft. Sega's actually lost more money since dropping out of the hardware business.
They're not going anywhere.
Finding Emo:
PS2 was mostly a hunk of crap, so I suspect the PS3 to be as well. I'll be sticking with Microsoft and Nintendo.
Post-post Evaluation: Simple, yet effective.

Man the controler excuse is oldhat. I think people underestimate Nintendo. Maybe they don't stick to trend-setting because they think beyond trends. Which stupid Gameboy? Three sucessful variations. I can only see improvements since the first GB up to just the SP. I'd say that graphics on alot of games on SP are about par with the SNES. The DS I believe is around par graphics with the N64. I
t is all just matter of opinion on what you like to play. I like all three current systems out.
Ozymandias:
I like the GCN controller. It's not adaptable to cross-platform games, but that's not what Nintendo cares about. All games specifically developed for the GCN use it beautifully.
All controller innovations in the past 15 years (except dual analog sticks) have been Nintendo's doing, and they already did it again this generation too(reliable wireless).
I think the GCN was one of the biggest mistakes they've ever made, not because it's less powerful than the XBox or PS2, but because they tried to keep their individuality while trying to fit in. It doesn't work. That's why they're going in a different direction, drastically apart from Sony and MS this next generation.
They're not going the way of Sega, simply because they're going to try to go the way of Apple.
Think different.
