This. Major Nelson actually knows his stuff, and he's not some dumb actor who thinks he's funny.

True, Major Nelson actually knows what he is talking about and is more then some actor that pretty much no one ever heard of till those comercials.

[QUOTE="The_Game21x"][QUOTE="FIipMode"]

Yeah but what does that have to do with what Major Nelson said.

FIipMode

He's a joke because he twisted what Major Nelson said. He didn't say "The PS3 is collecting dust". He said "I'm gonna be happy when I come over to your place and see the PS3 off and with dust on it." when asked about the recent announcement of Metal Gear Rising on the 360. Which is very different from what HHG twisted it into and a far cry from the earlier poster's insinuation that Major Nelson said that the 360 would destroy the Wii and PS3. The man is a joke and I just have to laugh at people who link him as if he has some sort of credibility.

But HHG also asked if Ps3 owners are getting the game too why would the Ps3 collect dust. Major said "when you look at the lineup, 1080p streaming, Natal" and etc all speak for themselves, plus they are cheaper.

It is true though that just saying it will collect dust is far from destroying, Blazer was wrong on that one.

No, he asked me for a link of some evidence of Major Nelson talking the PS3 down. That video was the first thing that sprang to mind.

Considering all the harm this could cause Sony, I don't find it funny. This could cost many people their jobs.

Looking back at the thread, no he was asking for a link when you said Major was they guy who said the 360 would "destroy the Wii and PS3 at the beginning of this gen", saying PS3 will collect dust is a little different from that.

Why is this news? :? It's a clever little comment, which is appropriate for Twitter...but not worth posting (or linking to) a news story about. I guess people will talk about anything at all if it involves people who work at the big three.

They've said they're getting more exclusives several times now. They've made fun of Butler once. How are they not so vocal?

Considering the guy is paid to act like that as kevin butler, and the fact that he's done such a good job in that he fooled you into believing he was real suggests he can't be that dumb an actor...

It is true though that just saying it will collect dust is far from destroying, Blazer was wrong on that one.

And if he were to find the PS3 off and with dust on it, it still counts as a sale for Sony, plus they had to have a good reason to buy one in the first place. So I don't see how he could say that trying to claim some ownage. Not to mention I have a fat PS3 and it collects dust even though I play it almost every day.

Lol, dumb actor? I'm surprised Karnage said that but the fact that Kevin can draw that kind of venom from people like Karnage means he isn't such a "dumb" actor, he's doing his job right.

Yeah but he does work for Microsoft, I don't expect different, talking up their product and downplaying the others is what they do.

It could have been funny if they made a video like kevin butler as a parody. But this, this was not funny though it does poke fun at sony's mistake.

Major Nelson as in the guy who wouldn't shut his mouth saying Xbox 360 was going to destroy the Wii and PS3 at the beginning of this gen? Oh yea...I dislike that guy.

carljohnson3456

Link?

Think he might mean Aaron Greenburg... who was talking smack about the PS3 and Wii nonstop at the beginning of this gen. I see how it's supposed to be humorous, but considering that hackers are the "enemy" of the industry, Major Nelson probably shouldnt be making light of the situation. If it was on his system he'd probably be going ape poo.

"His" system has been hacked for like years now so....

I like following Major Nelson over Kevin Butler. I got not gripes with KB, but I feel he's not really KB by his tweets. He comes off too much as just his PR status. Major Nelson is more grounded and real about things. He also is better to follow I think.

I could see reading my post now how you could get that I was insinuating only Microsoft does this, but trust me I already know all companies do that.

True. Kevin Butler is just an actor reading his lines. Major Nelson doesn't use a script. I thought it was pretty funny. Especially since KB is usually the one making fun at the competition.
