MonkY`s Place

Here are my beloved consoles. At present times, i only own Sony PlayStation 2, Sony PlayStation 3, Sony PlayStation Portable, Nintendo Gamecube, Nintendo Wii, Microsoft Xbox and Microsoft Xbox 360. I will try to post the specs for each and every one, but i like to think that hardware performance is nothing without feeling, gameplay, music, story… Something that, for example, Final Fantasy series will always have. After all, why do we play on these little machines ? We do it to escape out of this world. We do it to relax, to have fun with friends (or enemies). We do it for the nice or scary moments inside the games, and not for the hardware under the hood. I think those that only think about the hardware power, poligons, pixel or vertex shaders, will soon forget about what a game should be.

To be continued…

Oh yes, the fight still goes on. This time, with a nice and naughty videoclip, that explains it all. Honestly, it’s very well put. What do you prefer ? The future, or something fun ? I want them both. Plus a 360, and PS2 and Xbox just to be sure… and let’s not forget a few Snes, Gamecube and Sega consoles… Yep, console maniac forever ! Now, just enjoy the movie

Nu stiu daca este o simpla joaca in Photoshop sau chiar vom vedea in serie asa ceva, insa este un concept mai mult decat bestial: Portable Nintendo Gamecube. Intr-un singur cuvant: SUPERB.

Trist dar adevarat. Cu titluri care ajung la lansare si la infam-ul pret de 100 USD, cu accesorii gen wireless adaptor pt. Xbox 360 care sar de 70 USD, next gen consoles se pare ca momentan pierd razboiul in fata mai “vechilor” console, sau mai putin dotatelor surate. Concluzia ar fi pe scurt, ca nu puterea de sub carcasa ii atrage pe gameri, ci gameplay-ul si pretul. Aveti mai jos chart-ul pentru primele 6 luni de sales si cifrele exacte.
