E3 2012: Will Microsoft, Sony or Nintendo Bow Out?

The games media is on fire with a new rumor: that during this year’s E3, one of gaming’s major players will bow out of the future hardware race. If true, it’ll be the biggest shake up in the games industry since Sega famously called uncle in 2001, after the market failure of its Dreamcast console.

But the big question left unanswered is: who will it be?

We came. We saw. We waited for endless hours to play, and even copped to an interview by none other than Kudo Tsunoda! Unfortunately, they wouldn’t let us kick, beat or maim the virtual animals. Dammit!

E3 2010 Bathroom Break

June 15, 2010   Jason Ward   No comments

So, 4 hours into the show, an update is probably in order. As you undoubtedly know by now, Microsoft announced a new Xbox 360, Sony announced a paid PSN and an expensive Wiimote clone Move pricing/release date, and Nintendo announced its 3DS.

This latter beast is the darling of the show: the lines to see it are now hours long, and chatter on the floor is that the device is “amazing.”

Meanwhile, the new 360 is sexy, and the lines to play with PS Move are…well, they’re short. Chatter on the floor is a mix of “it’s Wii HD!” and “Lame, what a ripoff.” Women are dancing-as they do on Wii. Me are punching and shooting with waggle-as they do on Wii.

Don’t get me wrong-though I begrudge the mediocre creativity exhibited by Sony’s imaginating department, from a business perspective it makes sense: Nintendo’s method is proven; Microsoft’s isn’t.

Welcome to ATGS!

February 17, 2009   Jason Ward   No comments

Welcome to All That Gaming Stuff, the site where we sound off about the Industry, the Games and all the fun stuff that makes gaming a great hobby. If you couldn’t already tell, ATGS is the sister site of All That Nerdy Stuff, the site that covers a far broader spectrum of geek toys in general than we will, but a far narrower cross section of the games industry than we’ll be covering. As we roll into our extended “launch” window over the next several days we’ll be taking a look at some of the latest industry trends, wading into the flame-infested waters of prediction making (Armchair analysis FTW!) and asking you just what you think about the state of the industry. Where’s it going, why is it going there, and what the hell does it all mean?

Feel free to drop in and leave your comments on any of our exciting upcoming topics, and keep your eyes peeled for our new Community Forum as soon as we can get off our lazy butts and put it together (clicking “install” is challenging!). Without a doubt you’ll see some shakeups in layout, colors and design over the next few days as well. Try not to worry too hard, but do let us kow if you see something you like–and twice as loudly if you see something you hate. And hey, if there’s something you’d like to see, drop us a line and let us know!
