PS3 is like the UNITED STATES, Xbox 360 is like Iraq, Wii like Native americans

The PS3 is very much like the UNITED STATES with all it's power and history and just the name brand. United States is by far the best and the most powerful similar to the PS3. The US has been in some tough wars but as ALWAYS come out on top, similar to the PS3. Right now xbox 360 is like Iraq. Losing the battle on all fronts, bring taken over by the US (PS3). Iraq was in decent shape not too long ago but always has it's break downs (xbox 360 RROD). Now the Wii is like Native Americans. The Wii is very creative like Natives, but fails when it comes to technology and it is rather kiddy (mysticism and voodoo are childish but the Natives continue to beleive). The Nintendo brand has been around for a very long time but has done almost nothign to innovate (Mario party 13? Paper mario 9?).

oh. it's you. epic fail. go study your history.

/thread

The Romans defeated and took over Greece. After the fall of Rome, Greece was occupied by several powers and didn't become independent until the 1800s...

You = Epic fail

The xbox 360 has it'd SHORT lived run but it is not going to fall under it's own "power" (or should i suggest power of the cell) and before a major failure due to fualty hardware, expensive online, weird controllers, P2P online, horrible games for 08, and their over confidence is going to bring down the Lemmings! Now the PS3 is much like the Greeks. Smart, intelligeant, and dominant for LONG period of time (10 year life span anyone???!!). The Greeks were slow to rise after Rome, but now is the time that the PS3 and cell take a commanding lead with FREE online, GREAT controllers, DEDICATED servers, and GREAT exclusive 08 lineup. The Wii is like the nomads. Weak, innovative given what they have, which is not much. And they just migrate from one system to the next staying loyal to their mario party 14, and paper mario 9, and the same series played over and over again.

the roman empire lasted in some form from 200~? BC to 1453 AD. I wouldnt call that short lived.

And you are like an Aztec, completely owned by more intelligent people.sneslover

This ownage is unparalleled...usmcjdk6

1- 360 has great 08 games
2- YOur analogy sucks
3- Correct me if im wrong, but didn't the greeks not return to power until the romans were long gone for hunderds of years. If anything Roman Empire followed Greeks good run......

Hahaha

360 has by miles the best game in 2008, it only takes Too Human, Ninja Gaiden 2 and Fable 2 to make Ps3 lineup look totally like nothing TBH, 15 hours in MGS4 and that is all for a year ? Wow, that is not the Greeks, you wish it was the case, but it is not

I wonder what people will compare this generations consoles to next? My guess goes to strains of Marijuana.ONLYDOD

The historical ownage here is too much. Go read your history books instead of watching History Channel documentaries and reading Wikipedia articles before you try and make any time of historical analogy. :lol:

On the subject of these "barbaric" nomades, did you know that the Mongols were resonsible for the Pax Mongolica? A time of peace so great that every single nation in the world from West Europe to East Asia was connected through trade and exchange of people and ideas, leading to an untold time of prosperity, cultural exchange, and technological advancement never seen before in world history? Yeah, real weak and powerless. :roll:

The Greeks were slow to rise after Romein.

Arsuz

:lol:

I know, this guy has absolutely no understanding of history. And to his benefit, lemme say that the Greeks came before the Romans. And they heavily influenced them.

Rome: Destoyed Greece, lasted for over 1000 years, had the second greatest empire ever (British was bigger).

Greece: Technologically the strongest, but wiped out by the Romans despite that.

Nomads: Came from the east and pwned everyone with their hordes of horsemen.

So Nomads > Romans > Greeks is how it goes.

Which is correct because Wii > 360 > PS3.

So TC was completely correct :D.

Hang on. The Romans conquered the Greeks.

Then the nomads (barbarians) completely destroyed the Roman empire.

Then the dark ages happened.

So.......what?

Its only a cow people move on . demon565

move on? :lol: you must be joking he just set up a stall saying COME HERE AND OWN ME and you expect people to "move on"? :P

I don't know where to begin pointing out the historical innacuracies from.

The Greeks' downfall was the Corinthian wars which led to Sparta, Athens and Thebes becoming mere shadows of their former selves which, a short time after Alexander the Great, were swiftly brought under the rule of the Roman Empire, along with the rest of Greece.

The Romans, to not put too fine a point on it, stretched their empire beyond easily maintained limits, to the point where armies and provinces followed the rule of their local authority rather than the emperor leading to fractured leadership and disolutionment.

I don't want to even go near your explanation of nomads.

Lets just say that you are gravely mistaken.

Uh huh. Vaporware (will this even come out this year?), flop (by current SW standards), and the sequel to the hype fail that was supposed to be the videogame equivalent to JESUS.

OT, that is a terrible, terrible analogy and you should be ashamed. :(

To be fair, how intelligent could a people be if they mistook a smelly conquistador (3 month boat funk) for the reincarnation of Quezacotl?
