"True.  Yet 360/PS3 achievements are statical achivements that some gamers try to cheat with.  With Club Nintendo, you are rewared with merchandise with the games you actually buy.  I think a physical reward is more appealing than a digital one.  i agree with you though.  Wii U on the other hand might surprise us so the anticipation til E3 for me is really high."

"what would happen in publishers started putting in their own trade in value of a game and went down from there? do you think people would still trade in titl"

"not really (it feels like that).  I will say I own about 150+ games.  If I stilll had my old systems, It would be around 3"

"i wonder what it will take for this industry to make games to sell in these days?  I understand software matters and i think we are at a point that no matter what party a game comes from, it is up to us has always been us to support and buy them.  Nintendo won't make the system fail.  It will be us consumers.  i understand this article (which is great by the way Rus) to see what nintendo might bring.  

If we are talking software sales, Nintendo kind of got the industry on lock (and maybe activision with skylanders) and that might be hard to take in.  Third party doesn't have a lasting effect when selling games until they drop where nintendo games, new or old, still are purchase at regualr price at retail stores.  Over a long of period of time compared what can be sold in a month or days.  After Modern Warfare 3 and even Mass Effect 3 came out and sold what they sold, people are still buying Nintendo games and even third party wii games that came out before those two.

Now, we ask ourselves this: Can the sales of a Wii U game have the same drop off like the other systems? With that, would that make it a failure?  Even if was a bit underpowered but somewhat had great HD graphics?  "

"I believe it to be successful and offer more than what we expect.  I think gamers now a days want Nintendo to continue that SNES legacy.  When we think off power over fun, we become focus on the small basic things.  Its already a problem for third parties to really make money on PS/XB with being brought out or closed down.  We cannot have sequels and FPS leading a system to success and I believe with Nintendo, they are going to surprise to us with what real creative minds can bring.  

I cannot judge until E3 and I personally will purchase one because I want to see what real creative minds can bring when graphics aren't all to be expected.  The developers have to bring their A game to Wii U.  If they look at Nintendo, some will try to incorporate what they do (sony and Micro does it).  

Let's give it to E3 and see what comes.  Rumors might be good but it doesn't lead to final judgement of a system."

"you are right.  I was trying to say that some of the fan fiction plot feels predictable. I'm still thinking on this piece and cleaning it up.  "

"that  ok.  I love any response from any reader.  We're all gamers with opinions and expressions.  I would love to hear your feedback on this.  I don't get upset and prefer to read and hear everybody's view on any of my work.  The More, the better."

"Oh it gets worst.  For someone who sells these at work, we get around 15 calls per day and when they are on sell, they are gone with in minutes.  When we first got them, the sold slowly but by the third week, they were all gone.  It has gotten to the point that some people wait around the store to see when or if they are coming in.  I understand that these kids want them but who knew they would want them this bad.  Its on the same level as a Mario Game."

"i believe as writers, money shouldn't be the absolute point of our work.  Its our expression of things we have a opinion about or something fascinating to inform people.  Places like bitmob, 1up, and other places give you that freedom to express your writing.  Its one of the ways to get notice and improve our individual work."

"the story and characters feel cliche though.  The premise is orrow from so much material to call original that people would just want to know the story and end.  I presume that Joell die and Ellie is the cure for all this madness or they somehow become father and daughter or one of them will be infected and qte is used before the conclusion of the game."

"I sell them at my job and we constantly get phone calls about them.  I know sold like crazy over the holidays and the people are trying to collect them all.
