Re: The Video Game Thread

Microsoft has been developing this technology for over 2 years with the company they eventually bought. It's taken a long time to bring to market because the technology is incredibly advanced. I agree it's too late to beat Nintendo, but that's not the point. It's about trying to make inroads into their market. Personally, I don't think it'll be too successful this gen, however this is clearly aimed at Nintendo, the casual market and nextgen.

I guess we'll agree to disagree.

Star Wars: The Old Republic trailer was debuted. Another MMORPG I'm excited about and probably won't have time for.

This is going to be more like an old school mario. I'm looking forward to it as well. I basically bought my Wii for Galaxy.
