"Predictions are useless..."

I have played console games from an early age, with the years of playing comes the knowledge of gaming (I hope), many consoles have past and moved on, many have died and entered the ever increasing console graveyard, but from what I can remember there are plenty of unpredictable tales in the time I have been around.

There is not much point going into the examples as for this market and industry these are endless, but I feel I have a point when I say predictions are useless.

Unless you have been inside a time machine or are indeed the Highlander you really can't predict what is going to happen for the consoles and companies for the next few years, I would have laughed and joked if someone said five years ago Sega would be working with Nintendo, I would have cryed three years ago if someone had said the Dreamcast would officially die a few months ago...

..this kind of news people can't predict, and so why do we see many people making predictions in the forum for saying 'which console will win' etc....

Well the majority of the time this is down to their favorite hardware company, and although I would say Nintendo is mine, I wouldn't make pointless predictions, as maybe in two years time the Gamecube will taking the short walk into the graveyard, maybe it will be the Playstation 2? Nobody knows.

Anyone can make a prediction, half the time there is no point, the future of gaming will most probably be full of more twists and turns then an episode of your daily soap but whatever you do, don't rule out anyone or anything...

Thanks

To be quite honest I don't remember all of them.

I know that I've reviewed Donkey Kong 64 and Mario Party 2 though!

I personally have only done a Majoras Mask one.

Hey Meka_dragon what games have you reviewed as i would like to read some of your work.

Wha...?

This wasn't directed at you in particular, it was a general comment on the way this thread turned out.

My comments in the other thread regarding sequels and the like were not aimed at you.

It's my opinion. Don't take it personally if it clashes with your own

You have a point there. Have you noticed that my word count is nearly up to a regular status. Need to make some more posts though.

Well even the saturn was a huge flop and its failure cant really be argued.

I used to think this even before the Dreamcast settled into its early grave. Its mainly because I never found them arguing that their console is better than anyone elses.
