Video game crash of 2012?

Now if it was zynga, EA, Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony all going under *that* would mean the end of social gaming.

I think you're confusing social gaming with casual gaming.

Well, Zynga is a crappy company. They deserve to fail.

As long as Nintendo stays around I'm a happy games.

I'm not a Zynga fan but I know folks that work there and are treated very well and love the place, genuinely.  Not in terms of bonuses etc.
Lots of bad press doesn't help though.

I'm hoping the 3DS XL can pick up speed outside Japan as well.  It's doing ok in Japan but still needs help elsewhere I think.

I trust you, L_E_T, but this guy doesn't sound too pleased. http://www.sfweekly.com/2010-09-08/news/farmvillains/?repost

For those who don't want to scan through the article:

"I don't fucking want innovation," the ex-employee recalls Pincus saying. "You're not smarter than your competitor. Just copy what they do and do it until you get their numbers."

"Zynga's motto is 'Do Evil,'" he says. "I would venture to say it is one of the most evil places I've run into, from a culture perspective and in its business approach. I've tried my best to make sure that friends don't let friends work at Zynga."

That's the bad press I was talking about.  To be fair - that whole scenario basically is social gaming for you, it's no secret.

The wiiu will probably have another rerelease of super mario kart, another rerelease of ocarina of time and another rerelease of super mario world and probably another rerelease of super mario bros..  Those are what will sell the system.  but not to me this time!  

Edit:  Did I forget to mention another rerelease of smash bros?

You could say the same with the other consoles...

[crade]

^ I could, but it wouldn't be true because we usually see stuff like fallout 3, bioshock, demon souls, mass effect, dragon age, borderlands, oblivion, big planet, unchartered, portal, etc

Fallout 3 is an actual sequel, like zelda 2 was, not like everything since ocarina has been..

Sure some of them will have rereleases later (fallout new vegas, skyrim, etc) but at least we still have some new interesting stuff first, rather than only rereleases of stuff that popular because it was once good ages ago.

You know games that are popular for being good games rather than just being popular for being the next zelda game.  New stuff.  Thats all I ask

If the other consoles only popular games are rereleases of the stuff from last gen, I will be very dissapointed with them as well, just as I was with the wii.

I want Zelda on 360.  Big time!
