Hehe, sorry for the "personal" attack.. but it was warranted. Practically everything you\'ve posted in this thread has been inaccurate.. except for maybe the Resident Evil numbers. The game was the no.1 seller from March 22nd to 26th, at least.. and other websites have reported that it was 1st on the 29th too. Got a link that proves otherwise?



The data I posted above is 100% accurate

do you have some scans of the Pamphlet ?

is so could you link me




Nope, sorry OOseven I dont even have a scanner. But the pics were over at gamespot but you cant see a thing.




   As for blade and Chrono. Chrono for pointless flaming of nintendo you should get a warning from Ryu. This was a news thread. And it turned out to be a debate weather or not Nintendo is producing games for kids. Chrono.....if they are producing games for kids whats so wrong with that? But I fail to see how Eternal Darkness, RE, RE0, ect are geared for kids. What was the point of you bashin Nintendo? What was your point? Now can we stop this pointless fighting and accually admire the game?



      /me hoping Ryu reads this so he can give Chrono a warning because he deserves one for the abrupt bashing of the game and the system.

I never said ya posted nothing but BS, you just seem to unfairly criticize Nintendo sometimes.

The same way that I might occasionally knock the Xbox or PS2.. but some of your reasoning is whacked!

Especially when it comes down to the kiddy issue. (or non-issue, as many would now agree)

You keep up on industry news, but I keep up on Nintendo news exclusively.. so I probably know more miniscule details. I can point out some things you\'ve said that only half-right or just plain wrong, due my concentrated researching of Nintendo. You\'ve posted outdated blows to Nintendo and brought up a few negative rumors that proved false, which shows that you can keep up with the gaming world.. but a lot of details and common sense get pushed aside in this case. Unless somebody has no life at all, or is a gaming journalist.. there\'s no way he could cover everything that happens within all of the game publishers/developers. ;)

So they went a bit off-topic, what\'s the big deal?  This is still console debating and the two of them are arguing if Nintendo is aiming towards a younger audience.  When one of them finds source quotes proving so, the debate will be over. :)

Also, the problem you fail to realize is that the quote Chrono is referring to I have seen as well.  In fact, I showed it to him.  It\'s hard to find a specific quote, but I\'m pretty sure it was said during Spaceworld 2K or 2K1.  It\'s not a lie or a false quote, it does exist.

No warning will be issued, I would prefer that some facts were placed in these posts though.

Blade and Chrono, just unleash the weapons salvoes of fact and annihilate each other.  Just keep the swearing and personal attacks out of it.  I want a good clean fight, and no hitting below the belt! ;)

I\'m not saying ninendo is ONLY targeting kids.. i\'m just saying it is their primary target. Hopefully this time its Primaryness is a little less. RE is a good start, tonight we should see how well it fared in week 2

Chrono if you say is true go search the web for a quote from Nintendo saying they are targeting kids. When you do I want a link and if in Japanese possibly a free translator if you wont do that ill find one myself.

Chrono: For accuracy\'s sake.. how would you divide up Nintendo\'s target demographics?

Just because the games have brighter colors and friendly characters means that they\'re directed at kids, right? Personally, the only thing I think Nintendo ever aimed directly at kids is Pokemon.. with the cartoon and endless piles of games/merchandise. Outside of that, and a few select games (Yoshi\'s Story for N64 comes to mind) Nintendo has never catered specifically to the younger gamer. It\'s not their primary target right now.. but perhaps it was in 1999-2000, when Pokemon reached it\'s peak of popularity.

I\'ve said it before and I\'ll say it again. Nintendo targeting the younger audience is no different than Disney making cartoons. However, I know plenty of adults who love Disney cartoons and the same could be said about Nintendo franchises .

While Nintendo\'s signing of the RE series does show some adult targeting, their main focus is still relys on the family /  younger audience. This is not a bad thing though, infact, I personally think it is a smart thing just because no other company is targeting that audience. This allows Nintendo gurantee\'d sales and little competition. Even Nintendo agree\'s with that, as in one EGM (pre-E3 EGM, I believe) Nintendo said they did not see Sony or MS as direct competition.

Exactly.  Targetting the younger audience is not a bad thing at all.  There are still quite a few gems that are made for every person on the planet and I for one am glad for that.

The best part is seeing Sony and Nintendo, in a way, tag-teamming MS.  The mutual respect shown for eachother is awesome and I wish we could see more of it in the future. :)

Nintendo might have a big stake in the family-friendly market, but they\'re certainly not shrugging off the other parts of the family.

Families typically include not only the parents and child.. but also your demented Uncle Bob. ;)
