How far off can people be about a person who says over and over how evil and dangerous video games are, and then sends his son to buy video games (with an M rating none-the-less) multiple times.
I guess its better than doing something actually illegal by having his son buy something actually dangerous, but he's a hypocrit by anyone's standards and a bad father even by his own standards.
Like when Mega Man X4, and X5, and X6, and X7, and X8...were taken from Nintendo when the first 3 X's had been doing well?
With Capcom loging some of its highest profits ever, due to the Wii and DS, I would say that's the other way around.
I don't consider people to be "children" anymore once they're 13.
Of course, I'm assuming you're not buying a game that will be rated T (Melee was, and Brawl looks darker) for a very young child, because that would just not be responsable.
Maybe its just that parents always call their children children, maybe we have different ideas about what "kids" are, or maybe you're just going to get a young child a game that he wouldn't be allowed to see...
I am 100% sure more people read books than play video games. Heck, more people read books than have TVs!
Any popular series of books is bigger than any popular video game series.
With all the hype Halo got, it would have been overhyped if it cured every disease known to man.
Sony, themselves, said that the difference in the price of the 60 and 80 GB HDD was just cents.
Do you really think that saving cents the other way translates into $200 savings for you?
If there is going to be a cheap PS3, its going to be mission a lot more than just a big hard drive.
If its not sold out that means demand for the Wii is twice as much as demand for the PS3.
It's not because of the shipments comming to America, but because, finally, supply has met demand.
However, that doesn't speak well for the PS3. After all, based on demand for both consoles, Nintendo is still doubling the sales of the PS3!
I do find it funny that Sony fanboys say things like the Wii is dieing because its only selling twice as much as their sy...
I bet he doesn't have a Wii. Didn't Jack say Wendy's was promoting violent video games by giving out Mario toys in kids meals, since Nintendo was allowing Manhunt 2 to be released on the Wii?
Sounds to me like the poor kid can never play video games...oh well, there's always R rated movies and bloody shows on TV.
It doesn't even need that. What we're seeing is the amazing power of the Final Fantasy franchise. When the DS gets FF6 (the best one by the standards of most who have played all the FF games), its game over.
I suppose a glow-in-the-dark color line of DS to go with that would do anything but hurt, though.
Ok, sure, I got Gamecube 1.5.
You got Playstation 3.0.
Who cares? I think we were both "owned" if either of us was.
The Wii is just for kids, but you don't want kids playing Gears of War.
Manhunt 2 is much more acceptable.
"What do you expect him to say?"
Sometimes the most powerful words are the ones that are never said. Saying it won't last sounds a bit like a child who got his toy taken away saying that he didn't want it anyway.
MS has, for a long time, been saying bad things about Sony and Nintendo. That may keep some people from buying a Wii or PS3, but sales say that doesn't encourage them to buy a 360, either.
Halo will give the 360 a strong push (back to first place strong), but come 2008, the Wii will be #1 again, and we'll evaluate PS3 vs 360 again, since the PS3 will be catching up, again, but the pace may still be too slow to make up the ground before the next consoles are out.
Nintendo has the most loyal, but least vocal fans. Sony and MS are abut equally as vocal (one says something, other group speaks against it), but the MS fans are probably more loyal, because of the nature of the "hardcore" fanbase.
Edit:
usr, yes, easily. PS3 is second in online community, a distant second, but Home may help it catch up. Nintndo is easily the weakest in online community, but I would say it helps them in the public eye, though it hur...
Master Chief? Come on, Round Peg, in no way is Master Chief a cultural icon.
Since we're talking about characters, I won't mention real people or items/ideas, though Elvis is obviously a cultural icon.
Mickey Mouse, Barbie, Indiana Jones, G.I. Joe...those are cultural icons.
Master Chief is far from any of them, and even farther from (I lied, real people and items/ideas comming now) football, baseball, Marilyn Monroe, jazz, or Broadway.
...
Good stuff.
Maybe the Metroid Dread referance in Prime was actually poking fun at it being put on hold, possibly never to be worked on again. Banjo Tooie had a referance to "Banjo Threeie," but look what happened to that. It wasn't a real prediction, like they were going to make it soon, but it was a little joke that some people took too far.
Also, maybe its just that I have something against the colors in Halo 3, but it seems like the talk about colo...
Myabe those saying HD DVD is dead were right, but neglected to tell the world bluray is dead as well.
I wonder if/how these numbers will change as the discs and players get cheaper.
To be honest, I'm not much of a movie watcher, and my family still has more and uses more VHS than DVD.
"I guess they did talk about Wii fanboys a bit, just not in the opening of the article.. "Nintendo fans are nicer".. Nicer?? I don't see you winning many fanboy arguments with that one."
Winning a fanboy argument is like winning a war for pride. Sure, you might win, but you don't gain anything from it.
It would be nice if all fanboys were nicer and would actually discuss things. I rarely see a 360 or PS3 fanboy actually discuss things, just ...
The PS3 is the opposite of the PS2 in so many ways.
The Wii is more like the PS2, actually, and the PS3 is looking a lot like the GC (powerful, but no one cares). Only MS has kept things more or less the same comming into this gen.
The Vii: for when you get tired of your CH DVD movies.
