And as for Saturn? Of course its better at texturing and gourad shading than Model 1. After all, its capable of 500,000 polygons and 200,000 texture mapped polygons/geometrics.

It beat Model 1 by 4 years. It came out in 1988 and it shows. Compare the racing games on it to Virtua Racing. System 21 doesn't push nearly as many polygons or have nearly as many nice effects.

And yeah, on paper the Saturn should be better than Model 1. Yet for some reason none of it's Model 1 ports are Arcade perfect.

^ thats because the saturn was rushed and so were its model 1 ports
virtua fighter remix comes close

and its model 2 ports are compromised but a hell of a lot better

Still looks cool though. Still doesn't sell me on the Wii U but I admit in the wake of this E3 it's looking a lot more attractive than it used to.

Or the other way around with an old PS2! PS4 on top of an old PS2 is just fine.

uh i think the ps4 is too big for that
it might be smaller then the ps3 but its still quite a big machine

and i see that nintendo has trotted out the usual suspects as usual
nothing new there then
at least it has a line up of third party games too

Yes, and of course (as you said before), they act as it suits them . . . as any sensible business should (ie do what's most partical . . . and then moderated by other factors like PR, marketing, creative drive/inspritation, etc . . . it's the mix of variables that drive success and failure as such). It's not about being "pro gamer" or "anti gamer" but about doing what makes sense and will lead to the greatest success all around. (and TBH, being "pro gamer" could very well mean stifling developer freedom too by catering to the gaming masses -ie pushing only currently popular game types- so leaving some room for pure creative freedom is more a matter of just that, keeping that separate from the real-world economics -and to do that, you've got to be willing to moderate things to a reasonable extent and allow some of that risk without risking stability too much . . . or just leave the innovation to small start ups and splinter groups and then pick and choose what to invest in later on, let the little guys take those risks -the big guys still have plenty of chances to fail without going in those directions too, case in point :p . . . and Sega in the 90s was kind of a mess of both ends of that for better or worse)

Anyway, what I see here isn't Sony being "generous" or "pro gamer" but just being smart. The way I see it, Microsoft just made huge idiotic mistakes here, and Sony is now emphasizing that they're not being total idiots like that. ;)
Nintendo should really up there marketing to point out the Wii U's overall set of market advantages too.

Oh, also, this ad is hilarious:

Neat how they kept it "positive" too . . . ie kept it focused on their product rather than directly attacking the opponent, though the implications are very clear. ;)

Yes, in short, I've come to think of it that way too . . . and it wasn't a single event either, but a mess of things stretching from 1994 through 2000 that did it. (back luck/chance combined with unfortunate decisions and then some things that really just seem crazy/nonsensical regardless -the latter are the issues I tend to argue "what if" over). Similar arguments could be made for Atari. (both Inc and Corp for that matter) Though I'd disagree it started in the SMS days. (Sega's consumer product management steadily improved up to the early 90s)

Sony took advantage of weaknesses of both Sega and Nintendo and leveraged that well . . . as far as that goes, they're kind of doing the same thing now with MS. From a personal point of view though, it's a lot harder to feel sorry for MS than Sega. (or Atari for that matter) ;)

Sega was never succesfull, they should never have entered the market of hardware manufacturing to begin with.

Totally disagree here . . . all of those companies either were or were close to becoming massive megacorps. Look what happened with Nintendo, if you look back to 1983 and compare them to Sega (or Namco or others in Japan) they were weak. Sega had the bad fortune of having multiple divisions go into decline at once in the mid 90s (arcade, amusement, home console, etc) . . . imagine if Sony had seen a massive dip in a bunch of their consumer products (for whatever reason).

Atari Inc was most definitely in the mega-corp game at its height too. (and it acted like it too . . . or Warner did, for better or worse)

Hell, the first pre-existing Japanese tech mega-corp to enter the scene also ended up in obscurity outside Japan. NEC is an obvious example of how a massive company will fail without good management of a product. . . . Also, NEC saw the massive problem of their PC market falling out from under them in the early 90s, so a prime example of the sort of market "dip" problem I posed for Sony above. (and Sony failed with betamax, of course)

You guys are definitely into this next generation of consoles. You keep making the same threads over and over again with different titles, just like the games.

I see two threads. One for E3 in general, one for PS4.

None for Xbone.
