I won't argue with you on that. Games will be games and they will still be played [well] using the conventional controller. Even the Wii has released the 'traditional' control method.

I also believe that 360 won't lose it's developers just because of these two companies(Sony, Nintendo) using gyro mechanism. It's still about faith in which console will make more money from software.

Nintendo games are built around the sensory/gyro gimmick, while Sony just incorporates the add-on. Thus the use of gyro is NOT necessary for Sony's success for the PS3. (meaning, traditional control method is still in priority, PS2 controller + gyro? Now that's gimmick)

So, the statement above may be flawed, but it would be a horror to see it happen. A good year for next-gen console war. (but Reggie did say that Wii was not next-gen )

I just realised, with microsoft getting their next gen out a year ahead, they should be able to keep their lead on the next next gen console too. And if they can get it out faster it would be a cool if they got a whole generation infront of sony and nintendo (although strictly speaking they would have caught up with sony and still be lagging behind nintendo in terms of console numbers)

why would mc be lagging behind nintendo? aint nintendo no.3 at d moment? in terms of console sales? if sony keeps its promise to ship out 6 million units in six mths, i would say tht would negate any advantage mc had on time. ps3, though of the high price tag is gonna sale like hot cakes, esp here in japan. i was in my class talkin today and everybody was 'ps3,ps3,ps3,ps3,ps3, i want one. nintendo what?' blahs. n dont think just tht they're 16-17 means tht they cant afford it. not tht they're rich but part time jobs are are lucrative. tht said, japan is a weird market where xbox will never reign!

Maybe they are taken by the fact that FFXIII is coming out for the PS3?

Y'know, Japan's crazy over FF.. right?

In my defence: I got to know this through lik-sang on 'Most wanted games in Japan'.. FF will always be on top.. Since XII is out, maybe XIII will be next on #1 most wanted.
