3DS am doomed, or someone must have Fox News syndrome

Last week, Nintendo and Sony made announcements on their systems. But one surprise came from Nintendo when they announced that Monster Hunter would be on their system. Now of course, both systems would receive ports of previous Monster Hunters. 3DS would get Monster Hunter Tri from the Wii. Vita will get Monster Hunter Portable 3

But in a strange surprise, it has been announced that Monster Hunter 4 will be coming to the 3DS. A shock considering new Monster Hunter games comes to the Sony system. Sony's response?

I will admit that getting Monster Hunter 4 is a good deal for the Nintendo 3DS. That series is more popular in Japan than pictures of twelve-year-old girls with humongous breasts. What about Sony, though? Will the PlayStation Vita be in line for some Monster Hunter action? Sony doesn't know.

"I don't know. You will have to ask Capcom," said SCEJ president Hiroshi Kawano, his abruptness sounding just a little bit bitchy.


That's right. Just ask Capcom. They'll know if MH4 will hit the Vita. Which they are keeping their mouth shut.

Of course, having 2 of the biggest franchises in Japan right now isn't enough to save Nintendo from a bashing. This coming from the end of the Huffington Post article, a site that deals with Liberal news

If there was ever a clear indication that 3DS's time has already passed, it was that the crowd refused to even applaud Iwata until the Monster Hunter announcement. Conversely, Vita was so popular at the show that organisers were forced to close down demo queues due to demand.

Nintendo may have ruled the current hardware generation with Wii and DS, but it's terrifying to see just how quickly stars can rise and fall in the video games space.

3DS imploding, Vita burning bright: expect Sony to confirm western launch details in the coming months.


He's right. Not even Monster Hunter can save Nintendo. A game that is number 1 in Japan won't save Nintendo from Sony and their attempt at Westernizing Japan. Capcom could consider retiring the Monster Hunter Franchise and replace it with a Call of Duty clone.

However. One check at the name of the writer dates back to a Eurogamer article that rips the X-Box 360

Some of the hyperbole Peter Moore concocted in the Microsoft's Xbox conference tonight was nothing short of sublime. The Xbox 360 pad is, according to the ageing suit, a "gateway to gaming Zen". He actually said that. He said that Xbox 360 games will be "beyond real". How's that, Peter? Seriously, how is that?

And even though his words were the crassest of the painfully obsequious trio of himself, Allard and Bach tonight, J and Robbie both chipped in with some genuine pearlers. Allard claimed several times that Xbox 360 will be put in front of a billion "consumers" in this current generation. The global population is currently around 6.5 billion, well over a billion of which live in abject poverty. Now, J, come on. Bach claimed that Microsoft is about to turn "thought leadership into market leadership". Even through the soberest eyes, tonight was undoubtedly the night the Xbox management team upped its acid dose beyond the acceptable.

Even the setting was surreal, the Shrine auditorium near the LA Convention Center, a huge pavilion filled with many thousands of people, seething queues desperately pleading to get through iron security. Forced back up into the Gods, we were impressed by the stupid opulence of the event, as speakers poured thunderous drum and bass over the crowd. The Microsoft three took to the stage and what followed raised more than a few eyebrows. Only Allard got away with any genitalia intact.


The rest of the post is in the works cited. But it seems this is the same guy who slammed on Microsoft over the X-Box 360. Ironically, said system is doing well in North America.

Coincidence? Or a dark liberal conspiracy?(Smacked for not being Fox News)
