I don't want it to be over but the boom which has occured in the gaming world in the last three years has calmed down, we had so many amazing games in the last five years that I think the gaming world which I loved is going to slower be overtaken by elements of entertainment, two out of the four next generation console had extra details, one has a DVD player and one which is yet to be released has it all.
I think we have seen all the great possible genres of games, I don't think any game will impress me as much as ones from when the gaming market reached its peak (1999-00).
Above all this horrible grey cloud there may be a silver lining, in that of Nintendo, they want to continue to make games which are 'fun', they claim to be the only ones which want the gaming world to play games, they have solely released the GameCube for only games, the GBA is something which will be completely Advanced, nothing you have ever seen will prepare you for the GBA, I can promise you when you play it your mouth will drag along the ground, then after a few seconds of not breathing much needed air you will say the words 'I must get one of these'. Nintendo are trying to create something which will be the future of gaming, a console which plays games like the good old days.
I don't think that the games market will ever be better then it was 2 years ago, but then again that just might be me getting old and annoyed that the dreamcast with its brilliant games is now officially dead, RIP SEGA because you had the best released console, but earlier mistakes lead one thing to another.
Where as SEGA failed I don't only want Nintendo to succeed they NEED to succeed for the gaming world to keep on track, SONY are currently many mistakes abroad, Microsoft are entering for the wrong reasons (and they need to sell 30 games to every XBox buyer for them to make any profit which isn't good figures).
Nintendo are really as I see it are only hopes for a great future of gaming. I hope they succeed for all of us. and although some of you may hate them, you will love them one day.
