Majority of readers own more than one console, but not majority of gamers
After nearly 1000 votes, 59 percent of Infendo readers say they own more than one current generation console, which include Wii, Xbox 360, and PS3. Given that the majority of Infendo readers are gaming enthusiasts, that’s less than one might expect. It’s also soft proof that the majority of gamers only own a single console, because let’s face it: video games can be expensive, bot...
Nintendo “embarrassed” by Wii copycats
Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but Nintendo president Reggie Fils-Aime said he wouldn’t dare rip off the competition like Sony and Microsoft are doing with Wii. “I think we would have been embarrassed to do what our competitors are currently doing,” he told Kotaku, when asked what his company’s next console might include. “So, all I can tell you is t...

Wii still “smarter” than PlayStation Move?
On a Wired post criticizing the initial round of PlayStation Move games, commenter memebag pointed out a distinct difference between Move and Wii, which seemingly plays into the latter’s favor. “Instead of a camera on the TV looking for lights on the remotes, each Wiimote has a camera that looks for the light bar on the TV,” he explains. “It’s a smarter solution, sinc...
What do you think of PlayStation Move, Sony’s answer to Wii?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohC60cNTiJ0[/youtube]Sony yesterday fully unveiled its response to the market-share stealing Wii. Dubbed PlayStation Move, the depth-sensing remote connects with the PlayStation Eye camera and promises better precision when compared to Wii. A single controller and camera will be bundled for under $100 and sold separately. That is, PlayStation Move is optiona...
Popular game blog likes first-person golf in Tiger 11
Why didn’t anyone tell me this? Fresh off last year’s excellent Tiger 10 with Wii Motion Plus, EA this year will release a “first-person” golf mode in the new Tiger 11. Dubbed “True View,” the side mode lets Wii owners see things as if they were Tiger. Er, I’m mean Rory McIlroy. In any case, Kotaku praised the mode in a preview published today. “I do...

Are we really satisfied with the Wii?
Are we really satisfied with the Wii? Should we be? Shouldn’t Nintendo be trying harder? It’s a question IGN’s Matt Casamassina brought up in his December editorial Nintendo is Lazy and You Don’t Care. Although not the only, or the main point in his editorial, Casamassina repeatedly cites both The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Super Mario Galaxy as the “epic...
Nintendo implies new Zelda this year for a second time
Maybe Nintendo really will release a new Mario, Metroid, and Zelda in the same calendar year. Said the company’s chummy Cammie Dunaway last week, “From some of the things that Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has talked about, and that we will talk about at E3, like Zelda, you know that we’re going to have a good back half of the year.” By no means confirmation, but by all m...
