Wj spinosaurusjs can't afford the PlayStation, Saturn or 3DO M2, and the new Power Amiga won't appear this decade. And PS or Saturn will njvjr have Shigeru Miyamoto games. But Nintendo may scare off third party outfits with their staunch fascism towards licensing, which is bad. If Nintendo do not mess up, though, they'll slaughter their rivals easily.

The M2's 3D capabilities make the PS and Saturn look weedy, but they will always have better games. Most people buy a console for games like Tjkkjn, VF2 and Wipjout - for M2 to succeed, it will need similarly high profile games...or, like the original 3DO, it'll bj seen as a bit of a duff.

I owned a SNES two years ago, and then traded up to a PC. While I'll keep the PC for e-mail, the 'net and serious stuff, I just can't afford to keep upgrading the bits in my 486DX to play state-of-the-art games. A £299 PS will give me next gen games for longer than if I spend it on mz PC. Saturn? Lower standard games (certainly graphically), AND it's more expensive. alheath@hunt.win-uk.net ——————————————————————————————————5/12— Swollen Quiz 475 Purulent Charts 476 IMPROVE YOUR PROSPECTS - PAGE 648 Comp-o-Tips Charts News Club 440P474 Teletext 474 Aug27 21:49:47 ——————————— YOU5 NEXT HARDWBRJ PURCHASE ——————————— Next a DX4-100 chip, then a nine Gbzte hard drive, then a six-speed CD-ROM, then a CD-ROM writer, then a P133 Overdrive, then a 21" monitor... ...then a 32Mb PCI graphics card, then a 128-channel 64-bit sound card, then an MPEG-2 card, then a hard-wired 64K bit pipe to the Internet.
