I never said the gamecube was a better system then the PS2. But I do think the dreamcast was better then both.

The Dreamcast was awsome, I still have mine bought on day of release ! I am a "CONSOLE" Fan boy of all consoles.. so Im not sure what that makes me lol..
Just a Geek? Yeah that sounds about right.. Just to spread the word I'm going to repost something from another thread:

Mchart, Martinius, xAiTheHitman and hell, EVERYONE ELSE .. none of the consoles are any better, or any worse, they ALL have good and bad points.... |

So by that I mean Nintendo 0wnz
Though Xbox 0wnz technology wise  |
Right...
The NES did not innovate at all. Look at what it provided:
- A home console system, elliminating the need to go to arcades. First done by Atari's Pong, 1975.
- Add-on Cartridges. First done by the Fairchild Channel F, 1976
- A D-pad on it's controllers. First done by Nintendo itself, 1979
In reality, the only thing that Nintendo "Innovated" in is a more powerful system, and the amount of money pumped into it's distribution.
Game Boy wasn't the first portable system either... the first handheld system to feature interchangable games was the Milton Bradley Microvision, 1979. Nintendo, once again, was only innovative by pumping tons of money into the platform and taking credit for it's creation.
As I've taken many images from other sites for reinforcing the research that went into this post, allow me to conclude it by ripping off one final image:

They survived through the console crash of 83', and they survived for a reason, they gave the masses a product which was powerful, yet affordable, and made sure that they pumped the most out of the hardware before developing a new system.

LOL, pong was the first console system? Dude, I just lost all respect I had for you, the odyssey was the very first console system. The odyssey was the first to use game carts (very primitive, but you can say it was).
And please dont argue with me, Like I said, I own 30+ game systems, not including doubles, I know the history. You are right about nintendo to some extent, but some of the things your saying are 100% false. I also love how you completely beat around the DS with its touchscreen. YES - The touchscreen is used on other PRODUCTS, BUT game system wise, the DS is the first to use it, and use it good in its games.

Oh this made me giggle. Its a quote from the guy who draws the comic posted in the first post.
Quote: | Let me put it to you like this. The PSP is a full seven course dinner at the fanciest ballroom overlooking New York City, and the Nintendo DS is a lint-covered potato chip that you found in a gutter after you rolled a homeless person over. That may sound harsh to you, but that's the way I see it. With the ability to play movies, music, store photos, and play games, (at least 6 of them at launch that I wanted to own) versus the Nintendo DS and its two games at launch worth even going near (one of which is a bad port of a 10+ year old game, and the other which doesn't even use the graphical power of the DS) the choice is pretty obvious. |
he then goes on to post something else saying.
Quote: | I own both the Nintendo DS and the PSP. You can't call someone a fanboy when they own every console on the market, have played them all and then form an opinion on what is better and why.
I love Nintendo. They've been entertaining me for almost two decades now. However, "Well, the DS will be a great system, with great games, in the future" just doesn't fucking cut it for me. When the DS starts coming out with some decent titles, I'll reevaluate my opinion on the system. But until then, it's just no match for the PSP. |

2 corrections, 1 of them incorrect, for <20 minutes worth of research of the history of consoles. Consider my self-respect appeased, given that the error was originally that of respectable sources, though my oversight of Magnavox's console is an honest mistake.
Businesswise - yes. Nintendo sold it's NES console at a loss and made their profits off software, and it was the first to do this with consoles. That was it's only true innovation, and it has nothing to do with the technology behind the consoles.
I therefore resume my standing on the fact that Nintendo innovated in nothing but business tactics with the NES and Gameboy.
As for the Nintendo DS, games have been played with a touch screen on portables since the release of the first PDA to feature one. Nintendo just saw the fact and used that one aspect to resurrect a long-dead dual screen platform, then in hindsight ripped off storing games on miniature flash memory (think SD) from PDAs and WiFi from it's competitor the PSP, as well as PDAs. And, lo and behold, they are working with, of all companies, Palm, to produce a suit of organizer functions for their system. How surprising, especially considering that Palm's favorite memory for their devices is SD, and that Palm, of all companies, recently came out with an SD wifi card, which I'm half certain uses the same circuitry as the Wifi component of the DS.

I thought you said you knew everything about cosnsoles??!!???!!!??
NO the DS was not the First to use it in games... The Game.Com was released in 1999 and that used its touchscreen in games!! ffs get YOUR facts right before posting!
Mchart wrote: | Like I said, I own 30+ game systems, not including doubles, I know the history. |
Obviously you dont know the history... The first game was Tic-Tac-Toe (Naughts and Crosses) displayed on a cathode ray tube in 1952, Then in 1958 a game was released call "Tennis For Two" also on a Cathode ray tube Then the Odyssey was released in 1972 but games were already starting to be discontinued by 1973. then pong came
And Mchart how can we take you seriously when You say the Dreamcast has better graphics than the PS2 and Gamecube in that other thread?? lol |
1.) Like I said before, just because the device had a touchscreen/pad didnt mean its main function was for gaming control. The DS is the 1st handheld gaming system to use its touchscreen to the fullest extent for its games, and the DS is a 100% game playing device. A PDA, a phone, the tiger kid PDA thingy which is really what your talking about, all those products were not made for the sole purpose of gaming, and using the touchscreen just for gaming.
2.)"Obviously you dont know the history...

Yeah, a cathode ray tube connected to a massive computer system that filled an entire room, for both of those games, those arent console systems. The odyssey was the first console system.
