    I still remember the "get two jobs" marketing line re: PS3s.

    And my buddy trading his Wii for one.

    If it's anything over $500, I'll still be laughing. Just not as hard as $599.

    No lie, I fucking loved this

    I get that it's awful marketing

    But I love smug, arrogant Sony

    "The next generation doesn't begin until we say it does"

    Give me that Sony, yes please

    I bought a PS3 in Australia about 2 months after it launched

    I paid very close to $1,000 for it.

    I'm expecting at least 500$.

    Nothing. Matters.

    Rumors out the ass, but it seems basically confirmed that every unit will have a new Kinect in it

    And that the Orbis will have a PlayStation Eye with every unit (since the new controller has Move technology in it)

    Nothing official, just a bunch of rumors. MS might be having a launch event in March, I assume we'll hear more as it gets closer.

    Two big rumors are that Kinect will be built in and that it will be under 300 but require mandatory live subscriptions for at least one SKU

    Nintendo needs to get out of the home console market so I can play Nintendo games on an Xbox.

    I feel so filthy feeling that way but that's the way I feel now.

    this, but in reverse. Halo and Banjo-Kazooie should be on the same console that gives us Metroid Prime games.

    You want to put Halo games on a console that can't run them?

    lol if you think Wii U couldn't run any existing Halo game

    Unless this was directed at the original Wii

    If not, screw you for thinking Prime won't make the transition to Wii U!

    God I hope it does

    Tested.com already has an article up on some of the system specs, and already im researching a way to build my own streambox that can beat this system.

    Hopefully it will be under 1000 and will be twice as good.

    nah I'm sure nintendo is down to hills of money after that whole 3ds thing

    Yeah, they've only sold, what, 30 million of those?

    and sold out during their launch. It was the fastest selling handheld ever.

    That might be the case, but I still don't think it met projections for what they had anticipated. And they were losing money for each one sold.

    I mean, whatever you think of Nintendo as a company, they took a huge hit last year. They lost a half-billion dollars. And if I recall correctly, they're losing money on each Wii U console sold, and were banking on software to make up the difference. And now they're delaying games and losing exclusives. It's not good.

    e: and here are some of those numbers. The 3DS alone sold a half-million units fewer than Nintendo had estimated, and even that estimate was a revised one, down from what they had originally speculated.

    e2: And they lost an additional $350M in the first half of fiscal 2012, which I didn't realize. Man, Nintendo... Dudes.

    Dude. Bro. Man.

    Don't worry. Nintendo are almost Apple rich. The Wii made them billions, they can lose a bit of cash and keep on trucking.

    I am not sure if I would prefer Retro to do something new or make a new Prime
