Mario is the same old boring thing over and over and I don't like mario anymore. Use some variety, get a PS3 for the last of us, and use your PC for all your real gaming

Xboxone sucks yadda yadda yadda

Like I said before, the new is wearing off and the new is shining through. PSP, Wii, and maybe a DC somewhere in there. If I need to, I'll get a PS3 but aside from that, I'm pretty much done with consoles.

Mario is the same old boring thing over and over and I don't like mario anymore.

I honestly think Mario is one of the most successful franchises in the history of gaming. But that's just my opinion.

I don't know if Mario is as succesful as in the past, but cleary there are better and more successfull games than SM. For example Half-Life or Counter-Strike and many others.

Just a quick note:

• New Super Mario Bros. Wii - 26 million sales
• Half-Life 2 - 12 million

As well as the Galaxy games being considered as some of the pinnacle of the last generation.


But this is getting way off-topic here. This topic is about the Xbox One after all.

Well, personally I'd estimate success in whatever fandom it had prior to it's release and the legacy it leaves afterwards.
Mario has always had a strong fanbase since the beginning of everything, so of course his game sells like nothing. Throw in dedicated people working behind the franchise for several decades and you have something of a legend. Albeit one with a questionable direction.
Half-Life, if my memory serves correctly, is a PC exclusive game with no official way to play with your friends and less advertising than a typical Mario game. Yet somehow half the goddamn internet has caught the "HALF-LIFE 3 PLZ" fever.

So technically, the world loves Mario because he's easy to find and has had a longer, more consistent existence (Mario has had like, 8+ new games since 2007. Half-Life has had none.). but in essence, I think Half-Life has more of an impact on those who care to know. But right. we're off-topic here.


My opinion still stands. Xbox One is not as much of a bad thing as everyone makes it out to be. but go on with your bad self if you still condemn it like the devil's spawn. I won't stop you.

Retail console being a dev kit is actually a huge selling point. This might turn the entire situation around for indies, if the program requirements and features are right.
