Hey CUDpwns nice to see you are here on this website as well, i am also from the 3ds forums.

I don't remember seeing you.
I am a regular on the 3DSforums as well

Hey everyone. I have noticed many people from the 3DS forums, so many of you know me

Wait, what's the other 1%

Shabuuuuuuu!!!!!!!
Baroqueeeee!!!!!!!
Mis amigos! Qué pasa?
lol what's up?

Haha yeah...
Honestly, I don't know what happened to Sony, they dominated with the PS2, and now they are dead. They are going to have to do something big soon, that isn't a blatant rip off of something Nintendo has done.

They aren't dead. So what the PS3 hasn't sold as much as the PS1 or PS2? It still outsold the gamecube and original Xbox combined!

and by the end of the year it will probably outsell the Xbox 360

Tablet vs notebook eh?
Notebook easily wins.

Notebooks have about the same portibility
bigger screens
better processors (most of the time)
more space to store stuff on them
cheaper price
much better OS, so you're not limited.

vs. this
http://www.apple.com/ipad/

The former can do so much more, store so much more, is much more powerful, and is the same price as the latter.


oops, that was a notebook not a netbook. Netbook still wins because of it's price and the fact that it's still more powerful than a tablet.

Sony did state that they thought the PS3 could last a decade, though I do think we'll be seeing something new before 2017, it won't be till 2014 I don't think.

The 10 year life cycle of the PS3 has nothing to do about when new consoles are coming.

It does to an extent, while it was always known that once the PS4 came out, support for PS3 would continue, as it did for the PS2, it won't continue for that long, It the PS4 is released in 2013, they won't still be making PS3 games in 2017.

Also, It has been stated that they don't plan on a new console till 2017, but that statement was a long time ago and is very unlikely to happen.

Really, because they still make games for the PS2.

Of course they aren't going to say "Yeah guys, in a year we are going to show off a PS4 at E3". They may or may not show one off or release one for a while, but if they tell us they are going to release a PS4 in a year or two, it might ruin PS3 sales. So they are going to deny anything for a while, even if they plan on releasing one early 2013.

There were still games coming out for the NES in the late 90s, yet the console was by no means still on it's life cycle, fact of the matter is, the PS2 is gone, sure people still play it and the odd game might be released for it now and then, but the console isn't still in it's 'lifecycle.'

Actually the NES's life cycle was considered to end in either 92 or 95. I keep getting different answers. Which that would fit with a 10 year life cycle. But Sony has said there will be a 1- year life cycle for all of their consoles. It's arguable apparently whether they succeeded or not, but it doesn't change the fact that they have said it for the PS, PS2, and PS3. They will more than likely say it for the PS4, and the PS5, and however many more playstations there will be.

YES.

Wii U > 3DS > Wii > GameCube > Nintendo 64 > SNES > NES > Atari 2600 > Hotel Mario > Xbox 360 > PS3 > PSVita.

Ummmm???? Any reason you have some false statements there?

The Wii U is significantly more powerful than either the PS3 or Xbox 360. Both tech demos show cased that fact simply how much more powerful is the question. Rumors before E3 pointed to a theoretical figure of something between 4x to possibly 6x the capability of Xbox 360 depending on how the rumored chipsets where customized. The only thing in doubt about the full capability of the console was whether it could be considered a full generational leap over current consoles. As a measuring stick going by those original rumors there isn't any reason with optimizing the code for a closed box system that majority of the more graphically impressive games that have recently come out for the PC could run on Wii U on their highest settings.



This bit of information though is extremely interesting. Basically the only thing that can be taken from it is that Wii U's CPU is Power 7 based, but that means far more power than many expected. Depending on the number of cores, the clock speed, and exactly how the chip has been customized it could theoretically be a full generational leap over Xenon. Going by the AMD press release the GPU may be something from the Radeon HD 5xxx to 7xxx family of GPU's instead of the originally rumored 4XXX family of GPU's. Which would result in a better feature set, better performance with a lower TDP, and would benefit from AMD Eyefinity technology. The biggest issues I'm worried about regarding Wii U now is its total RAM.

This definitely sounds like good news. As long as it's close, I don't care if it's underpowered when compared to the next generation consoles.

It's the same tech as the "Watson" processor, that doesn't mean it's as powerful as the Watson processor which was a literal supercomputer, lol.

Well Watson has several processors. 2,880 to be exact, all 8 core.

And I read somewhere that technically, Watson isn't a supercomputer. Apparently that's not powerful enough to be one. What was special about it was it's ability to comprehend English and it's ability to learn.

Although yeah, the Wii U will be NO WHERE NEAR as powerful as that lol.

I hate to break it to you but the PS2 is not in it's 11th year, it went out back in 2008 (about a year after PS3's release), just because people still play it, or there might be a game ported to it every now and then doesn't mean it's still on it's lifecycle.
If they want the PS3 to last till 2017 then the PS4 can't come out until late 2016.
The NES wasn't officially discontinued in Japan until 2003, but that was after the GCN came out (3 consoles later!) does that mean it had a life cycle of 18 years? No.

There are still games made for the PS2

If they are still making games for it, it's life cycle hasn't ended.

I highly doubt it, they just showed how dedicated they are with their Kinect stuff, they are treating it as a new console. I'm guessing we'll see new console reveals E3 2013 and releases 2014.
Both Microsoft and Sony said this gen life cycle will be considerably longer, Sony even saying 10 years.

you have a link to go with those rumours?

STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP!!!!

Sony has never said they won't release new consoles for 10 more years. They just said the PS3's life cycle will be 10 years. That's a HUGE difference. The PS2 is in it's 11th year of it's lifecycle.

How can they care more about their customers than theirselves....?


Sorry for double post, but wow... >.>
And did anyone watched Anon's latest Youtube vid?
at the end it says 'Sony were first, and you'll be next' while playing the Mario theme...

can you post a link to that video

Storm! Glad to see you here.

I am not a huge fan of shooting games, but if I am going to play one, it's going to be third person. I prefer the 3rd person point of view way better than first person. I would rather see my character and surrounding area. I hate just seeing arms and it just doesn't feel right for me.

Have:
Street Fighter 3D
Doa: D
Sims 3

Pre-ordered:
Zelda OoT
Kid Icarus

Plan to get:
KH3D

If it looks good. Mario Party 8 was fun, but got tiring after a while.

Hey, hey, I do have a name, you know.

I may have created this forum, but it belongs to both myself and David now. So he's advertising it for the good of both of us, not just me.

Not that I mind.

So you are the creator? Hi then.

Haha, just for kicks I looked at how many new members David brought over.

the list of members is 23 pages long, 14 of them are filled with people that joined in the past 24 hours.

I am one of them

So David, you have some serious power lol.

My first crush was in 5th or 6th grade on a friend I had had since 2nd grade. I admitted I liked her in 7th grade and went to a dance with her. But I couldn't get myself to dance with her for some reason.

Then I felt stupid. We were still friends for a while and I still liked her until about 8th or 9th grade. That was my biggest crush EVER! Actually it's about my only crush on someone I didn't date, well only big crush.

Well the games are undoubtedly not ready yet. Probably still earlyish in development.

They said they want to appeal to EVERYBODY so I think there will still be some.
