But at the same time, one of the reasons the Gamecube came in with the lowester market share last generation is that Microsoft payed publishers NOT to port some games to the Gamecube (because the X-Box has a higher graphical advantage over the PS2 than it does over the GC)... So you could also argue that had Microsoft not done that, third party support--including some of the more mature games--may have kept the Gamecube afloat longer.

Honestly, I don't really care. I've had just as much fun with my GC as I have with my X-Box over the past five years, but the marketplace tends to lean towards the more mature games.

On an entirely different note, who else thinks THIS GAME would be the perfect Star Wars title to port to the Wii?


I didn't know that Microsoft payed people off to not port to the Gamecube. But I also remember that when the PS2, XBox, and Gamecube was released, most people said that Nintendo was dead and would go the same route as Sega, and be forced out of the hardware market. But Nintendo, by marketing to a different niche than MS or Sony, stayed alive and prospered. They were the only one of the three to make money on the hardware.

Yes, Star Wars Trilogy Arcade would be great on the Wii. That is a fun game.

This is off topic, but since people are talking about third party support and how it affected the GameCube I thought I would just mention that on March 20, 2007 The Godfather Blackhand Edition is coming to the Wii. So that is definitely going to be a mature game and it is utilizing the Wii Remote so I think that people that are worried about control scheme of the Wii catching on, I think it should be fine.

So I stay on topic totally agree with C3PX's last post. This is the "ANTI-PS3 THREAD" so obviously a good majority of the people are going to not like the PS3. But everyone is allowed to have their own opinions, right? I'm not going to get upset cause someone hates the Wii or thinks it's stupid. But hey, I'm also going to convince them it's fun by getting them to play Wii Sports .

And about the PS hating thing. It has nothing to do with being cool to hate PS. Just because a bunch of us are of the same opinion on this matter all the Sony fanboys get their panties in a knot. If Sony suddenly takes off and becomes a popular system then it is not going to hurt me. I really don't care, but because I make the prediction that I think it is in trouble you guys get all pissy and say it is only because I cannot afford it. If you like the PS3 then I am happy for you. I still like to look at the situation as a whole and to makes guesses as to what is going to happen. For the last several years this has been predictable. Sony would be at the top, followed by the Xbox, and Nintendo would hang in there because of fan loyalty and there licensed characters. This time things are different and the boxing match is getting exciting again. Just because I am not rooting for your favorite boxer doesn't mean he is going to loose, and it doesn't mean I only hate him because it is the cool thing to do. I take it the ones of you who are claiming we are only hating it because it is cool are still in High School perhaps? Well, once you get out of High School you do things not just because they are cool, but because they are reasonable or practical, or because they are what you want to do. You no longer go out and buy a $80 dollar pair of blue jeans because they will make you look cool. Now is the part where I remind you that a good number of us are not in High School any longer and don't really care if it is cool to hate Sony or not. I promise you, even if it was extremely uncool to hate Sony, I would still be of the same mindset. I really don't think Sony is going to do so well this round.


im not a Sony fanboy whatsoever. everyone knows that i think consoles are a complete waste of money and are horrible gaming systems. but thats beyond the point. i just dont like people saying, "Sony/Nintendo/Microsoft are going to do bad this year" based on poor evidence. ie. they had shortages at launch, or the system is too expensive, or they have shitty launch games. point is nobody can make a proper argument at this point in time. 2 of the 3 consoles are only 2 months old. therefore there is no reason to state an opinion at this point in time, for the simple fact that you do not have enough proof to back this up, nor even make a semi intelligible argument.

if you want to say which console you think is going to do bad, without proper proof, thats what i consider hating.
because your not proving anything nor are you backing anything up, your simply stating a negative opinion on something just because you can.

make sense now?

ahh yes and im not hating on consoles. ive stated many times before why they are inferior to me? noticed how i said to me and not to everyone.


I am sorry it is such a sore spot for you, that is quite unfortunate. You see, a lot of us like to make predictions and see how far off we were. Ever made a prediction on a sporting event? You say you bet one team will win, even though the game has not begun yet thus you are basing your opinion on piss poor evidence. It is like that here. At least for my part this is how it is. I know you work at a game store, so I imagine you do get a lot of snotty little preteens saying things like "Sony sucks because it is not Nintendo" and non sense like that. But it is fun to discuss and speculate. Of course none of are feel we know the future, the whole fun of playing this game is trying to guess what the future has in store for these consoles.

To say, "I don't think the PS3 is going to do so well" doesn't need any proof or evidence. I could be wrong in this and it is nice if you come up and say, Oh I don't agree with you, it is going to do well becaused...
I know people are putting down how many consoles ship where and such stuff. The funny thing is that that does not even matter, by next year all of these console will still be on the market and nobody will be mentioning who shipped what the first weeks on the market.

"your simply stating a negative opinion on something just because you can."

Sounds like a personal issue to me. You are on a website that has a reputation of being a bunch of old SW fans who sit around and complain about George Lucas and the special editions. I don't think there is anything wrong with stating a negative opinion. Especially in a thread titled "ANIT-PS3 THREAD" in all caps. As I said about it being a personal issue, don't enter a play station bashing thread if you hate hearing play station bashing. Especially when you have to put up with it all day at work to begin with.


i totally have no problem if people are just waging a guess. thats fine. but when it comes down to a real discussion of the shortcomings of a console i just dont think people should be ill informed on them. that leads to people taking sides which i find stupid.

and this is no personal issue, its an issue of being educated before making a statement that has no truth or logic to it. people state negative feelings on George Lucas because they have sufficient grounds to do so. i'm sure not many of us would go around saying "i hate George Lucas because he's an idiot!" its pointless and makes the person sound like an idiot.

and the reason im in this thread is to play devils advocate.
plus im sure there are many hypocrits in here as we speak, who bash Sony and yet have a ton of their products in their home right now.

like who seriously makes a thread called "ANTI PS3"?
hrm... perhaps microsoft or nintendo fanboys?

I don't 'hate' the PS3 because I'm a rabid Nintendo fanboy (which I am, but that's besides the point)--I'm just not convinced that even with the Blu-Ray player, it's worth all that money for, games wise, a single worthwhile exclusive at the moment. Metal Gear Solid 4? I could care less about it. Devil May Cry 4? I still haven't finished DMC3... In fact, the only game I'm really anticipating on the PS3 is the as-of-yet unnamed Rachet and Clank game.

okay that there is definatly gonna hurt Sony. are they fuckin nuts?!!?
the adult film industy brings in over 8 billion dollars a year in revenue, which isnt far from mainstream hollywood movies.

that is bloody unbelievable.
and whats even worse is that they've lost a contract with Joone and Digital Playground which released some of the hottest selling DVD titles, including Pirates as well as Island Fever 4.

now this in itself is one of the dumbest moves ever.
why not adult movies? whats the difference?

If Wicked, Zero Tolerance and Vivid end up signing on with HD DVD then Blu Ray has no doubt lost the majority of the large studios.

by the way, i like the new thread title.

kudos to whoever changed it!

Wow way to take a light fun hearted thing and get serious. And about me signing my name all the time, like someone said another time somebody brought that up, if I want to sign my name on all my post let me, it should bother you. Oh yeah, and at least I know how to edit my posts so I don't need to double post.

You can't stop it. It would eat you alive to know that one of your posts wasn't signed.

I remember that time Sean Wookie got mad and sad, pushed and pulled and hurt his neck, and wasn't going to take it anymore so he made a giant, spiteful farewell thread and left the site forever.

Stinky is not a troll. You can call him anything but that. He is actually one of the more intelligent posters these day. Sean is just sore because Stinky took Jay's side during the rift of '06. You know, before Sean decided to get out of this shit hole. What is up with the sudden hostility toward Stink?

Wow, some of you guys are taking this PS3 thing way to seriously. What is with all the hostility. The PS3 is a video game system some people don't seem to like. Get over it. And what was wrong with Ferris' posting the link to an article about the fact that porn wont come to blue ray? Someones hopes and dreams about long hot nights with their PS3 dashed to hell?

I don't think the porn thing will matter as much this time around with the prevalence of this little thing called World Wide Web.

well if you had actually read the article it said nothing about it being a rumor dumbass.
but of course rather than reading you would rather jump to conclusions.

so now you look even dumber.

and im not being hostile, im just making sure that people actually read a thread before posting in it.
and since he not only didnt read the thread but actually made the initial post in the first place it looks even worse on him.

and C3PX where at all am i sticking up for the ps3 here? im simply stating that it was already mentioned a couple posts ago. you and ferris both need glasses apparently.
