Default Re: Lair: Another PS3 letdown?

it's been 9 months; people are spoiled and impatient these days; it takes time for new consoles to get a large selection of AAA titles

and now that strikers is out (and pokemon), there is online

and next month comes madden/fifa/etc with online
and then many other games will be online in the next 6 months

this is just the calm before the storm; the fact that nintendo is releasing zelda/mario/metroid/smash in the first 54 weeks of existence is unprecedented...and they have at least a dozen other games in production right now...some are new IP so they may not seem like 'top titles' but they may be better than some of the known 'top titles'

the VC release is strictly a business decision to maximize profit; if u release the top 100 potential games in the first 6 months, nobody is gonna buy the filler/crap games...but by spreading out the release of good games, u get tons of money from people buying the mediocre ones (and it does have 37 8.0+ games so far according to ign, which is 4 good games/month, or one/week)...(and many of the ones in the 7s are what i'd consider GOOD games: mario kart, castlevania, fzero, tecmo bowl, kid icarus, etc)

so basically, 100% of the issues u named (wii games/vc games/online) are due to the fact that wii is only 9 months old, and all 3 issues will be fixed in the next 6 months or so
