My wii had problems with turning on.

My XBox has remained golden, and my gran's PS3 doesn't see enough use to malfunction

My Wii still works, although it has froze on me a couple of times when using Netflix for some reason.

I probably shouldn't have it plugged in all the time though

I haven't had any console, handheld or PC ever break on me. This is the first time I've realized that. The only electronic that ever broke on me was a cheap phone that fell out of my pocket, into a pool, where it got ridden over by a car and stayed submerged for a day.

…A car in a pool?

Well why else would there be carpool lanes?

I meant a puddle, woops. The one I went into a pool with was fine after I dried it.

Yeah, I always unplug my stuff when it's not in use.

The only thing I leave on standby/sleep mode is my 3DS - everything else gets turned off proper.

And the PS4 is still cheaper than Xbox One. Though that might change if Microsoft relents on the mandatory Kinect bundled with it.

MS also has to pay Sony a bit since they're using their tech inside the Xbone.
There's also rumors circulating that Nintendo will buy Atlus

And Sony has to pay Microsoft for certain patents they use. So does Nintendo probably. That's how tech works.

All those SMT games on the DS and 3DS

All those Etrian Odyssey games on the DS and 3DS

SMT x FE for Wii U

A frankly ludicrous amount of uncategorized games for the DS

Comaratively few games for the PS3/Vita/PSP

Their former parent company going bankrupt.



I can see it happening.

My problem is that historically speaking when a company is bought out they change due to new standards. I like Atlus how they are, I don't want them to change.

I dunno, Atlus publishes and makes a lot of games on many different consoles.

Personally I'd prefer they stay multiplat.
