/me scratches head

errr no i just think its a piss poor idea ...well along with the rest of MS strategy

$250 for a Game and Controller..pure madness


Quote

gimmick? Because it is on XBox?

Hey You! Pikachu, Seaman, and SOCOM are all gimmick games because of the microphones? -by AB


No..... even if the Tekki controller was for the PS2 or even a PC addon i would still think it would be a waste of PLASTIC and good money. Sorry but i beleve that no SINGLE game is worth $250[/b][/u]

also its because you ARE Foreced to use it rather than have the option to (Thank God that Racing games don’t adopt the same strategy) , plus i would like to point out that microphone add-on can be used in a vast majority of other titles.....thereby increasing its usefulness.

Examples
Planned games
Dekki Voice (Adventure for the PS2 were the mic is used to involve game play...you can ues it to issue commands to your police dog as well as being used as part of the game itself)

other uses
online in game comm\'s (team / Gobal talk)
Aid to HUD management

this on the other hand only seams to be created for SOLE use on the Tekki games (i know a sequel is planned)

It is just my opinion that this package proves that a fool is easily parted with his/her money.

/me does not argue the fact that it is a gimmick title, with Mm. It just doesn\'t effect my purchase.

like i said, thats cool

i used to be the same way, thats why i own over 20 consoles and hundreds and hundreds of games

one of my ex girlfriends used to call me the posterboy for electronic consumerism

took a few years, but i dont have that urge now to have that which i covet

i can only hope that glimmer of dissapointment doesnt happen weeks after dropping 260$+ for this gimmick title

I don\'t think it matters 2nd, 3rd, or 4th week sales. If the first week managed to sell this many for a game that costs about 160 US dollars is pretty damn good. It will selll 20k total in Japan which equals alot of money, and will probably repeat that success in America.

Some people were saying, quite ignorantly, that this game wouldn\'t even break 10k worldwide. All sales are now is cleanup.

cleanup for whom?

i dont understand yer excitement

lets say is does sell 20k at 160$
what about another title selling MILLIONS at 45$?

take away the gimmick controller and sell it for 45$
wanna make a bet if it would sell 10x or 20x the amount of copies?

cleanup for whom, i repeat

so its gonna sell at 260$ (US price) the same as it did in japan at 160$ (rough japan price conversion price)?

LOL!! But Tekki cost $160 not $49.95.  In just 6 days selling 12,200 and at hardware sales in Japan at only under 3,000,  Tekki is a success.

not a success

12000 is gimmick sales

lemme know in a few weeks how its doing

also, take 49.95 (rough cost of GT3) and mulitply it by 4 (rough cost of tekki) and divide by over 1 million

what do u get?

no

selling a Massive amounts of units for being a Stellar game is GOOD !

selling this over priced game aimed at a select few is far from good, and its also far from what the X box realy needs.

the PS2 / X box gap is growing day by day ...along with MS shrinking credability.

well, pstwo

ill agree that 12000 is pretty good, but its far from a success

and ooseven has a strong point

the xbox doesnt need these kind of titles, especially in japan

Piloting a mech just sounds so frickin cool and it got a 37/40 from famitsu, better than Mario, Phantasy Star Online, and even you


:laughing:

Game will (most likely) not be released in Australia.  And I won\'t be able to rent it.  So I won\'t play it.

I would like to tho :(
