If digg, N4G and NeoGaf are any indication, the internet was invented solely for gaming Neanderthals to argue about the console wars. "Framerate" this, "exclusive game" that. "Pixel bump shader fliter proxy triple mipmapping" this, "physics porn" that. It's really quite tiring, isn't it? What if GamesRadar told you there was a clear and easy way to predict each victor with 90% accuracy - a way to forever silence the incessant forum-vomiting that is The Console War?
Well, GamesRadar can't make them quit babbling about 720p and backwards compatibility, but they can offer this observation to those who're willing to sit back and look at the big picture - the white console always wins. Every time, white or grey demolishes the opponent, who's usually draped in black. Maybe it's a light/dark subliminal suggestion, GamesRadar are not sure, but with only one major exception the black console is handed its ass. Obviously GamesRadar are not saying black plastic is the reason these machines lost... it's just a pretty damn startling coincidence.
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
LucasArts gave Jango Fett his own game in 2002, and it pulled Star Wars into a much dirtier, rougher, and more interesting corner of the galaxy.
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
Sure they do, Dreamcast was a super success. Ask anyone.
But to be serious for a second. Xbox 360 has a sku that is white, green and black. Wii has multiple sku colors too, as does the Ps3. So how do we stack these up into the "true" color?
I own a custom PS3, a black xbox 360 and a regular black ps3. What does that tell me? that one of my ps3's is going to win and the other isn't? Man, that sucks.
As for their bias total stacking. Ps3 had a total of 13 million sold and they stacked the wii and xbox 360's together for like 47 million. Seems fair to me. Even more so when Ps3 is sitting a mere 5 million out from the xbox 360's install base.
Pathetic!
360 + Wii together will beat PS3
PS3 will beat 360 on its own
but Wii will always beat PS3. Nintendo always WINNNNZ
Worthless article. Proof? Here:

Now delete this retarded writing.
Wouldn't this be considered racism? I remember when Sony put out a black versus white PSP ad. Isn't this the same principle? So the entire game-industry acts like this.
garbage writing i have ever read. Who approved this dribble? The dude needs to grow up! what does White/Black have to do with anything. It's always about the games and it will always be about the games.
