Any good games on the horizon?

[Gregorius]

Personally, I have never ever seen anyone not want to play video games because there were too many buttons.

Nobody says those exact words. There is no way, however, that some potential gamers have not been put off by the learning curve on complicated games that use a dozen buttons. Guild Wars drives me nuts because so often I just can't tell what the hell is going on. That, and the fact that you have to pick the "best" eight skills made the game too complicated and counter-intuitive for me.

The last sales figures I've seen had the DS at 5 million units and PSP at 2.5 million units. Sony's first foray into the handheld market and they seize 1/3rd of the handheld sales while releasing the hardware and media superior handheld.

With 80 million PS2's I don't think the number of PSPs that have been sold is suprising at all. I think most serious gamers have chosen sides for the three consoles this generation and are sticking with those companies next time. I don't think anybody is in danger of losing out in the near future. It would be really hard for things to get worse for Nintendo as they basically survived having only one good game a year practically on the Gamecube. And I think that the metamorphosis of the DS from "what the hell are they thinking?" to most gamers to "wow, they've got at least something going here" has given them back a small amount of credibility.
