His last several reviews have basically been bash fests of popular games, so I'm not too surprised.

It still just seems... Ignorant and trying too hard to hate it.

Hey, look. DDJ hated this game, too.

EDIT: I seriously don't get his review. He complains that the game is too easy, but then complains about warriors existing/calls how you recruit them 'convoluted and frustrating" and wants a much more simplified version of... Just throwing Pokeballs. ...Why?

...But in terms of the market share of each product (PS2, Cube, Xbox), PS2's dominated Cube's and Xbox's. The same argument can be made. >_>

There's a difference between outselling its lifetime and literally existing in its own timeline.

It's one thing if a console continues selling past the accepted lifetime of that generation.

It's another to argue that you have to include something that typically has its OWN lifetime that, 90% of the time, comes about in the middle of a console lifetime and ends in the middle of another console lifetime.

Because then you get into messes like the Gameboy/Genesis. Handhelds have their own timeline, and there's a reason people say "Sony dominated this console generation."

You're trying to count the PS2 in... What, three generations.

And comparing it to a handheld.

You do not deserve to use a Miz gif.

Because that's nowhere close to "the PS2 dominated its nearest competitor/dominated both competitors on their individual merits."

I mean, you literally just tried to say PS2 overlapped console generations.

Handhelds have their own generations outside of the consoles, which is why they overlap.

But you seriously just tried to say PS2 somehow transcends its own console generation to exist in two.

So, according to you, the PS2 and N64 could be considered in the same generation.

Hey SEP you know what else overlaps with more than one console generation for sales?

The PS2.

What am I twisting exactly? I'm simply presenting numbers. Ignoring the handheld market would be twisting. Claiming "dominating" in an economic market is just "being ahead" would be twisting.

I'm just telling you what's there.

Did Sony dominate Nintendo? Yes.
Did Sony dominate Microsoft? Yes.

Did Sony dominate each of their competitors? Yes.

Did Nintendo and Microsoft merge into one company in that time? No.

So is it fair to say Sony dominated the competition? 100%.

And now I live up to the gif.

I think you're just trying to twist the meaning to fit your means, personally.

If a strongman lifts 600 pounds, and everybody else lifts 300 or lower, you'd say he dominated the competition. You wouldn't then argue to combine what everybody else lifted and go "actually, he only lifted 600. The competition lifted 2200."

So why would you do that here? Nintendo and Microsoft competed with each other just like they competed with Sony. I don't see why you'd naturally want to combine them as if they're one company when comparing overall results to see if one of them dominated the competition.

--
SEP Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996
Step FOUR! Get Paid! http://i33.tinypic.com/2v1sq51.jpg

No, you absolutely do not combine the competition, because, again, it doesn't matter what they did COMBINED since each company only sees... What they did.

You compare PS2 to Cube and PS2 to Xbox, not PS2 to Cube and Xbox combined, or else you're acting like Nintendo and Microsoft literally joined forces somehow. >_>

The competition is Nintendo and Microsoft as separate companies. Not Nintendosoft. So to dominate the competition, you look at the solo numbers.

Stop being redonkulous.

EDIT: And you had somebody just show you how the numbers are comparable if you're combining the fields, anyway, so, uh...

--
SEP Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996
Step FOUR! Get Paid! http://i33.tinypic.com/2v1sq51.jpg

You simply can't combine the competition, here.

Sony looks at them and thinks "We want to beat Nintendo" and "We want to beat Microsoft." Not "We want to beat Nintendo and Microsoft combined by X amount," because it doesn't matter to Sony what Microsoft and Nintendo make COMBINED, since each company only sees their portion of the sales. When people compare Sony and Microsoft, they don't go "Oh, and add Nintendo's numbers to Microsoft's." They compare them straight up.

Oh, come on. You can't even begin to count something like "Hey, they gave the people effected by the downtime free games!" as "thinking of the gamers' best interest." It's more thinking about the backlash if they didn't do anything. Free online or not, the bad press if they did nothing to make up for it would have been terrible.

PS3 online - free. If you choose to pay - PS Plus gives you a load of free games and discounts.

PS1, PS2, PS3 libraries - easily the greatest number of hardcore games, games developed with the gamer in mind.

Why do you think PS3 went from clear bottom to decisively on top even on this site?

So, basically... Free online is all you have, since the PS Plus thing is basically them offering people games most of them either already have, don't want, or would otherwise buy used in an attempt to use their paid online.

And then opinion.

The same Sony that had to take their free online down for longer than acceptable because they didn't care to give it any competent protection.

The only answer in this poll is the last one.

6x the combined competition vs 2-3x

Not seeing something inconsistent there. Yeah the difference in millions is larger for recent gens that's because the total market is larger.

...You can't combine the competition when looking to see which company dominated. Nintendo and Microsoft didn't work together... They also competed.

When you win an event with multiple people competing, you don't combine everybody else's score to see how much you won by, so why would you here?

You have to be the most non-adjusted, socially unaware and awkward person ever if you don't realize why people like taking pictures when they're having a good time.

To remember those good times sure, but why do they feel the need to show the world those pictures?

I wouldn't have a problem with those people taking pictures of themselves if they didn't had to show them to everybody.

My problem is more with people posting photos of themselves doing the most mundanes of things or being at the most mundane of places than people simply taking then. Unless as banananor said they interrupt **** to take pictures.

By "showing the world," you mean posting them on sites like Facebook which are designed for that kind of thing.

That you're willingly going to.

Just to complain about.

Did you ever think that, just maybe, they actually have friends (unlike you, apparently) who also want to see the pictures to comment on them?
