Of course the picture has to be of a scantly clad woman. I'm surprised many women take up online gaming when the majority of gamers are pre-pubescent, sexually frustrated 'kids' spewing offensive diatribe...
I can't speak for everyone else but I have personally reported 4-5 articles today for the same thing.
I don't care where it comes from, if it is full of mistakes and the submission quality is not up to scratch, then I will report it.
According to N4G guidelines this post shouldn't be approved (even though HHG's minions will approve it anyway).
And I quote: "Articles posted to N4G should be of interest to the gaming community and be professional and well written..."
This 'article' fails to meet any of these basic criteria
Edit: Here is the entire article, it's 137 words in length...
We all know that Sony receives alot of flak for their marketing strategies, or ...
Enough with these lame articles (with ludicrous headlines) from examiner. I'm reporting this.
Thanks for that mate. On base value I can see where he got the 130%, so I stand corrected. Though I'm guessing the 290 million in Employee severance would be a factor in loss of profits, not to mention the 3 year warranty that was extended to the E74 errors?
Cheers
LOL Butterfinger that was awesome. :)
Am I the only one that thinks Examiner are a bunch on whiners, every article seems to be about something 'wrong' in the industry. I realise these depressing stories get more attention, but what happened to the integrity of games 'journalists' (I use the term lightly in the case of Examiner).
I usually leave you to your own devices as it's pretty clear where your 'loyalties' lie, but I would be really interested in seeing the mathematics involved in your 130% drop in profit (even though the title has now been changed).
Not saying you were wrong (though that type of drop seems out of the ordinary), but if you could supply your 'working out' I would be interested in seeing it.
Just to clear up some confusion, all three companies use 'Shipped' numbers. http://www.i4u.com/article7...
Imagine the intricacies of trying to track individual sales at each retailer, it would basically be impossible.
Obviously there is nothing wrong with using shipped numbers, it's just how each company tracks their numbers.
No need to get your knickers in a knot guys, who cares? Consoles shipped or sold...I just want to play games.
LOL great article. I love zombie games and movies. :)
mmm... Don't know how I feel about this? I love the original Grandia and Grandia 2 is still played on my Dreamcast every couple of years, but an MMO?
Would much rather a new single player instalment.
I think I may have to enter this thing as well, even though I will likely get creamed... :)
Thanks for the info mate, might wait for your review then and pick it up when it comes to Aus. Cheers
Are you sure? The last numbers supplied by GFK indicated MS was about 100,000 ahead?
Anyway that's pretty impressive considering the PS3 came out well over a year after the 360.
What do you mean by that? Please explain.
I still think LO was one of the most underrated games this gen, would be interested to know if it managed to sell ok. I really do hope they make a second one...
If I could find a flightstick I might pick this up. Anyone know where I can get one from in Aus? Or even oversea's?
Spewing there wasn't a Lost Odyssey 2 announcement, hopefully it is big enough to warrant an E3 unveil...
I could have sworn that according to the March NPD's the Wii sold 600,000 consoles, guys that is more than the 360 and PS3 combined. It's certainly not something to sneeze at...
WOW I love my retro gaming (weird calling PS1 games retro seeing as I started out on the Atari 2600...), can I ask, how does it work if you transfer these titles to the PSP if they used 2 analogue sticks? How would they control?
Looks like I have to get a PSP... :)
Do PS1 games on PSN have trophies as well?
Is this better?
This chick is hot, look at her mad tits...
See, nothing productive about that comment, it just feeds the insecure teens the notion that women are nothing but sexual objects. Now, if we were a mature industry then there wouldn't even need to be a distinction between male and female gamers, I can dream can't I?
