Absolutely not, until their 10 year mark passes, they’ve only done good for the first half of their life they got another five and we’ll have to see how it all turns out.

Maybe I should have realized that when you said the DS only had two must have games per year, you meant two games you bought and liked per year.

But if I can’t change your mind, there’s no reason to yell at you about it.

Everybody has different opinions on this matter, everyone. This topic is just one of the many topics in gaming where its ok to disagree with an opinion. After all at the end of the day this is an opinion article.

On your PS2 concerns, I had a PS2 for 4 years before I bought the next generation of consoles. I had the Slim version of it. To me it was a quality peice of hardware because I steped on the console ( by accident ) more then 3 times ( twice with boots on ) and the console still runs to this day. That is why I said it was a quality peice of hardware. But I guess you had a different experiance with the system. It my not be a “quality peice of hardware” to you, but it has been for me. To each their own I guess.

Lets just agree to disagree, and leave it at that.

2. I just think it was unnecessary and what’s more, the way you wrote it made it sound like the NES’s title was ephemeral, when in fact it was the king for many years.

3. If people think there literally wouldn’t be any consoles if not for the NES, then I agree they need to be set straight. But the fact is that most of those companies were responding to the NES’s success and in any case had no chance of doing anything like as well as the NES did. (You can argue fairly that they were partially held back by Nintendo’s strong-arm tactics, but only if you admit that Nintendo was already in the industry long enough to get that kind of influence, undermining your other point.) And Sega’s console came out 2 years later.

The home console industry would be a shadow of itself if not for Nintendo, and Sony would most certainly not be part of it.

But the most damning part of it IMO (which I admit I didn’t empasize all that much) lies in comparing the NES writeup to the PS2 writeup. For instance, you repeat the phrase “Quality Hardware” at least three times, when the PS2 was in fact infamous for disc drive failures. Actually I think it might have the worst hardware record of the major consoles in the last 2 decades other than the 360, which of course is in a class all its own for hardware failure.
