In Response To: Duke Nukem Forever judges the Xbox and Halo (DarkSkies)

: This might be old news to some...but anyways.. DNF's Scott Miller thoughts on
: Xbox and Halo: What do you think about current and on-coming consoles
: (Xbox, Gamecube)?

: Scott Miller: I think that Sony and Nintendo will fight it out as the #1
: console because both of those systems will have the most high-quality,
: console-specific, exclusive hit titles. Several exclusive hits are the
: most important thing a console must have to succeed, regardless of the
: technical superiority of the console platform itself. I’m very worried
: that the Xbox has titles that look like they’re better suited for the PC,
: such as Halo, which will play far, far, far better with a mouse/keyboard
: combination.

Well, that's certainly an opinion :)

Nintendo Gamecube (IMHO) looks like a bunch of kiddie games (yes, that's an unfair generalization, but that's MY opinion) with cute little cartoons and Mario & Luigi running around with cute little creatures. Fun for pre-teens, but no-go for me.

PS2, while interesting, leaves me wanting something more. They have some good titles, but after having been on the market for what?... 10+ months, it's sad to note that the coolest game is STILL the snowboarding game.

Besides, Duke Nuke'm Forever has been in development for just that: FOREVER. It had better be one hell of a game with the coming saturation of the market.

As well, we'll all get to see just how good Halo works with mousepad & such when it gets realeased for PC/Mac :)

PS - The MOST important ingredient in a successful console is HOW FUN THE GAMES ARE TO PLAY. It's a simple formula that sometimes gets lost in all the speculation.
