Nintendo's Reggie Totally Mehs Halo 3 Sales

Brian Ashcraft — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 00:00:32 MDT

Halo 3 sales? We're impressed、Nintendo of America honcho Reggie Fils-Aime, he's not. Like really, really not. According to Reggie:

Will they sell a lot of software? Certainly. Will it sell hardware? I think it's an open question... I think that the Halo 3 consumer already has the hardware, because they're playing BioShock and Crackdown and a variety of games that are, in the end, quite similar: first-person shooter experience, multiplayer capable online. Tell me what's new?

We guess mini-games and little online support?

Why Xbox 360 Vids Suck

Brian Ashcraft — Wed, 11 Jul 2007 23:00:25 MDT

Like that Xbox 360 downloadable content? Nintendo president Reggie Fils-Aime doesn't! According to him, Nintendo "isn't going down the path of multi-media downloadable content." The Wii, it's a games machine. It doesn't need movies. Xbox Live has movies. And what does Reggie think of Microsoft's downloadable service?

If you have decent game, Video Marketplace isn't worth a damn.

Snap! Take THAT high definition!!! (Nevermind if you cannot rent these downloable movies in HD.) So, are there plans to put regular ol' DVD playback in the Wii?

I can't talk about Europe and Japan, but in North America, no.

There you go: sign up for local cable and don't plan on Wii DVD playback.
