I am obsessed with gaming. My main obsessions come from Guitar Hero and anything that Nintendo makes. No matter what anyone says, Nintendo will always be the leader in the gaming industry. Maybe not by sales or pie charts, but in fun. Raw gaming at its best, minus all the extra price-increasing technology. Sure HD is great, but is it even neccesary today? I would rather have developers concentrate on gameplay and originality versus another FPS with amazing explosions. Yes those games are great, but how original are they? I can really appreciate things that are new and different instead of the same idea and story with a new look. Sure Nintendo has failed at times, but it’s because they try new things. Nothing will always be perfect.

The Wii is the perfect example. While 360 and PS3 are following the same linear path as each other and battling to see how can do online gaming and HD graphics, Nintendo swoops in with a new idea and sans-HD. Nintendo has given us a new gaming experience which is great. I am not saying the other two systems are poor. XBOX does great at what it does, but Nintendo will be the leader this gen. I do a lot of Sony bashing as well. I haven’t jumped on the bandwagon, but they are my real feelings. I think I am so mad at Sony right now is because I always said PS2 was the best system during that gen. I supported it when it had the worst graphics between that and Cube and XBOX. Its specialty was its enourmous library of games. Now they abandon its followers with a heavy price tag and cocky attitude towards gamers. They just don’t seem to care about what we want. Sony just wants to push heir Blu-Ray technology as they did with their failed UMD.
