I bet:

-You don't understand maybe, 1/4 of these claims.
-You didn't make this yourself
-You just don't like Sony altogether
-You think what Nintendo tells you to think

That is all.

gwia · 02-01-2007, 11:56 PM

I didn't make this no, but it is all true.

Axel · 02-02-2007, 01:34 AM

The PS3 is shit though.

gwia · 02-02-2007, 06:26 AM

Exactly, even Sony admits it.

02-03-2007, 02:17 AM

Yes. I'm sure a multi-billion dollar company admits that their product is shit.

Heyyou27 · 02-03-2007, 04:57 PM

A friend of mine bought a PS3 with the intention of re-selling it, but after weeks of leaving it on Ebay, he decided to keep it. As of now, the only decent game was Resistance: Fall of Man, and even that wasn't any better than most of the first person shooters I've been playing on the PC for years.

Even though I'm not a console fan, I'd still like to own an Xbox360 as they're going to get a few decent exclusive titles.

Axel · 02-03-2007, 06:11 PM

If I were to get a PS3, one of the only games I'd want would be Assassin's Creed. I made a sig for it as well. Of course, that sig is on Greycobra because it is too pro for Gprime.

Drunken_Shinobi · 02-03-2007, 06:38 PM

I would actually want to buy the PS3 if it were actually cheaper.

Dec 4, 2006 - Sony Australia: Wii "More Fun" than PS3

02-04-2007, 12:06 PM

Blue Ray is just stupid though its most of the cost for the ps3 just so they and the movie companies can make money.

I'll ask the list creator

Sony fanboys are idiots, they can't face the fact that the PS3 is shit and is doomed to fail, like Nintendo fanboys couldn't face the fact that the Gamecube was shit.

Once the novelty effect of the Wii wears off, no one is going to want one either. Right now there are NO good Wii exclusives, and it's a damn shame. Have you ever even played Resident Evil 4 for the Gamecube? That game alone is reason enough to own the console.

gwia · 02-04-2007, 09:36 PM

Have you seen what they have coming out on the wii though, Metroid Prime 3 Corruption looks awsome and so does Fire Emblem: Tenative Title and Super Smash Bros Brawl. The Wii hasn't even been out for a year yet, they haven't even begun to release the good games yet.

How can you not understand those? Are words like "compatibility" and "exclusively" too big for you?

Who cares?

Everyone has a right to their own opinion.

Quote:

-You think what Nintendo tells you to think

When has Nintendo dissed Sony more then Sony has dissed itself?

They might not have used that exact word, but they said nice things about the Wii.

Snow · 02-06-2007, 11:55 PM

You (Among other people) like the Wii. I like the PS3. Is this some attempt to convert us? Are you somehow trying to tell us to stop liking what we do? Sure, the Wii is good, I've played it, I can see why people like it. I don't. Let's leave it at that and let people have their preferences.

gwia · 02-07-2007, 12:45 AM

I felt like pointing out it's faults and proving that Sony won't remain number 1 in the consoles this generation.

Axel · 02-07-2007, 03:08 AM

You think that no one knows that?

You never know though, it's a little to early to decide considering not many games have come out yet aside from around 15 launch titles and a bunch of 360 games.

Ryu-Nacho · 02-07-2007, 09:55 PM

I can't help but laugh when I see an argument like this. Like Floyd pointed out, it's too early to decide. PS3 and Wii have been out for what? Two months? None of these systems are really going to be the same in a year. Thats when the consoles will really show their true forms.

gwia · 02-08-2007, 12:54 AM

PS3 still isn't coming out for another month in most of Europe and Australia, so that right there is really a real big fuck up.

02-08-2007, 07:10 PM

yeah i occasionly play my ps2 (final fantasy series is awsome). but why didn't they release the ps3 in australia anyway? considering some of the comments i most likely won't buy it for awile anyway (leave untill a good game i like is realeased)

Drunken_Shinobi · 02-08-2007, 07:28 PM

Sony has made some screw-ups but it doesn't mean I totally give up on their game systems. Right now I'm not liking the PS3 too much because of how its overpriced. I think the Wii is alright but it doesn't really get me to get off the computer and play it. Right now I think the best system for gaming is the PC.
