I'm suprised nobody has asked this question yet: Since when is it okay to release a piece of hardware when one of the major selling points isn't even remotely finished? Do you like beta testing game consoles? It seems like this is becoming a common trend, with all the issues we've been having with next gen consoles lately - I guess manufacturers figure they can get away with this since everyone has a 'net connection now?
If I'm going to pay even $250 for a console, I expect the basic selling points to be working at least somewhere close to 'as advertised' - maybe I've just been looking at the wrong ads, but VC was a pretty big selling point in my book. Why did they shove it out the door if it's apparently just plain broken in some territories?
Then again, microsoft and sony get away with this, so I suppose Nintendo should too. But I'm suprised that people are willing to defend them for shoving an incomplete product out the door. |
