Turn 10 guy:
"Forza 3 is the definitive racing game this generation."
and
"Forza 3 is difficult to replicate."

Yeah right, watch how GT5 obliterate Forza 3 when it comes to reviews in March 2010.

George Sears6068d ago

Ahhh crazy Ken how I miss your crazy witty comments.

or more recently microsoft 'we have sold 9 million 360s in europe' then sony come out with official numbers over 10 million,microsofts response..' i am confident that we are 1 million units ahead of sony in europe'

kens classic 'people will have to get an extra job to purchase a ps3' ridculous starting price thats why sonys in 3rd place at the moment

Nihilism6068d ago (Edited 6068d ago )

Without reading i'm going to say that Pachter can top them all:

"sony will release a blu-ray-less ps3 to drop the price" -pachter

Now for those too dim to understand how stupid his comment was: ps3 games are on bluray disks....meaning that pachter's imaginary console would not play games or movies....what would it do again???

For an 'analyst' that guy is pretty f-ing stupid

ABizzel16068d ago

It baffles me how idiots get jobs as CEO's. Some of these comments were made out of complete ignorance, if you don't know what you're talking about pass the question over to someone who does and don't pull shigadey out of the air and make something up on the spot. No knows everything that's why there are different positions in every business.

And some of this BS are bold faced lies Ninja Gaiden 2 for example. A good game, but what kind of impact did it really have on other developers. NONE. Maybe some unknown 3rd party developer has envy for it, but no major developer.

HolyOrangeCows6068d ago

Peter Moore's, Dan Greenawalt's, and Aaron Greenberg's mouth SHUT.

comment that Sony should scrap the PS3 and start over.

Nihilism6068d ago

regardless of the consoles quality they have lost over a billion dollars on it, so why not?

if they had just put a quad core cpu in there they would have the best games, it would have been easy to program for and there would be alot more ps3 games and of much higher quality, i hope for ps3's sake they don't go with the cell next gen

Lifendz6068d ago (Edited 6068d ago )

I may need a little clarification. By "why not," are you saying that Sony should've scrapped the PS3 and started over even after spending the money of launch and investing how ever much resources into game development, marketing, launch, etc? And let's be honest, neither you nor I know what Sony is really making or losing on the console. And Sony isn't some fly by night company. They can sustain losses to, as they plan to, recoup that money and then some in the long term ergo the 10 year life cycle.

I'm no gear head so you can throw out all the specs and techs and leave me in the dust. All I know is that I have Killzone 2, Uncharted 2, Metal Gear Solid 4, Little Big Planet, and soon God of War III and GT5 without the quad amplifier photon phaser or whatever you said.

Now perhaps you can point to some games that didn't come out so well on the PS3, but that won't refute my point that the aforementioned games are (or will be) amazing to me and many others.

Gabe Newell's comment was not only the dumbest of this gen, but fairly surprising coming from someone that isn't an N4G 360 fanboy.

I've never responded to or read any of your posts before DC so I'm assuming your a gamer and not a fanboy. If after considering all I've said you still believe Sony should've srapped the PS3 and started over you're either a fanboy, delusional, or ignorant of how the market works.

Turn 10: "FM3 is the only racing sim shipping this generation"

XD

darthv726068d ago

Actually...he had a point. As far as the 360 was concerned, HDMI wasn't necessary. It is a welcome addition however but wasnt necessary for the purpose of the 360. Component and VGA are both capable of delivering the same resolution as HDMI.

HDMI is a nice convenience with the single cable connection.

As far as PS3 is concerned then yes...it IS necessary. Bluray right there makes it required with all the HDCP the format is supposed to have.

It was an asinine statement but true to a certain degree.

How much longer until Kotick is fired? Seriously, you could make a top 10 dumbest quotes list using just him. :(

Also 5, 7, 8 and 9 = MEGA FACEPALM

CharlesDCI6068d ago

I wonder what was going through there minds when they made those comments.

Probably nothing...

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.

solideagle27d ago

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

Relientk7727d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Why the Wii is Such a Nostalgic System in 2026

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

jznrpg33d ago

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.

Smellsforfree32d ago

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.

Loktai32d ago

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.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde34d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy34d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12534d ago (Edited 34d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
