It sucks to hear about Triple Rush going away. I was really looking forward to it. It sounded different, & it would have been neat to see Keith & Chemda give a sort-of behind the scenes look, along w/ hearing all kinds of funny shit about the show.

Also, from what I understand about Nintendo deciding to start the new console generation, when they get the jump on Sony & Microsoft, it will have the greatest processing power out of all platforms by a pretty wide margin, aside from PC. The Wii has enjoyed absolutely amazing sales for a long while, at times selling more than both competitors combined. Recently, their sales have dropped off quite a bit, & around that time, they hinted at a new console. They said they wanted to get back into a more hardcore gaming market. & w/ the Kinect for XBox, Wii no longer has the best tech in the motion controlled gaming.

They have a lot of room to work w/. The DS has been the best selling platform ever, & it continues to sell well, even w/ the 3DS out. That has given them quite a bit of cash to play w/, & I guarantee they will do some type of connectivity between the handheld & the console this time, like the promised last time. I think Nintendo just wants to be the first one thru the door & capture an audience. The current tech out there, in my opinion, could last for a few more years w/ ease. It often takes a long time into a console cycle for developers to perfect making games for a system, so a longer cycle can be a great thing. In comparison to older generations of consoles, this one has actually run its course, time wise. In 3 years at the absolute max, I think all three major companies will have a new piece of hardware out.

It's cool to see gaming news on the podcast. I'd definitely love to see more in the future, every once in a while. I'd imagine quite a few listeners out there enjoy playing games. Now that I think about it, Keith does have Angry Birds news a lot. I suppose that technically counts. Foiled again.

Great show.
