[QUOTE="Blackbond"] As for the parody of my sig, is it because I hit a soft spot with my links? Do you know what this proves? It proves that I won, that you finally gave in. You can't provide one link to a victory over me because you don't have one. Instead you create a sig mocking my union and one that personally mocks me lol.

But I will admit your "Zero Credibility" gets a 10/10 as funniest sig of all time lol. I clicked on your thread and was just browsing around and I was like wtf? Did somone hack my account? Then I saw it was yours lol. Beautifully done.

Actually Blackbond you lost, you actually got baited big time. The fact that you 'owned' yo_foo dosen't mean a damn.

[QUOTE="Microsoft1234"][QUOTE="yo_foo"][QUOTE="Microsoft1234"]btw for what its worth i own a wii and think that they got to get more games out , atm i own zelda (working on beating it but I hate Midna she ruins some of the experience), rayman, red steel, and wii sports. I think zelda and rayman are great, zelda definitely deserved the 8.8 but they're still fun and i bought vc games and when i have friends over (i only buy vc co-op games) we have alot of fun like golden axe despite its 6.7 or 6.8 review.. the wii is fun and i own a 360 but besides nba2k7 and gears it gets really boring however i used to be addicted to Street fighter II hyper fighting but overall i have more fun with Wii

Wii>>>>>360

once again the art of opinion. Frankly the Wii is hardly a console which provides games with real depth you can lose yourself in becasue you're too busy watching your hands swing idly close to the walls of your room :'(

you obviously havn't played it... play wii sports thats what made me decide to buy one... you don't have to wave your hands everywhere and ive played a ps3 but only nba 07 , but the controller itself felt very uncomfortable (i had a ps2 and ps1)

played it, reviewed it and it got deleted! http://uk.gamespot.com/pages/unions/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=25405550&union_id=7600 btw its on :'(

[QUOTE="the-very-best"][QUOTE="Hoffgod"]Rocky? Seems like an understatement to me. The PS3 launch has been ugly, quite frankly. In terms of titles available, sales, as well as critical and public reception the PS3 has come up way short of the hype. Will it get better? Almost certainly (It'd be hard pressed to get any worse). But it has yet to prove itself in the way the PS2 and 1 have. And the competition is much stronger than it was the past two generations.



Well obviously it's yet to prove itself. It's only been out for a few months! 360 didn't get it's truly standout game till Gears. Wii isn't really getting its standout game till SSBB (although that hasn't affected the console's sales due to its popularity with nongamers).

PS1 had a worse start than the PS3. Everyone thought the console would fail due to Nintendo's popularity. That didn't stop the PS1 from squashing the N64.

Everyone here has to realize that all the major series that made the PS2 so successful like GTA, MGS, FF, DMC, Tekken, Madden, Burnout, etc are all going to the PS3.

Then there's the fact that people are still playing their PS2's right now and since many of them are more than likely satisfied customers when they are finished with the console in 2 years or so PS3 will be waiting with the continuations to all their favourite series.

Yes, the franchises are going to be there. However, the dynamic is entirely different for three reasons: 1. The competition is stronger. Lets face it, the GCN and Xbox never really had a chance to stand up against the PS2. The GCN had a terrible image, with the horrible idea of debuting as a purple box with a handle. And the Xbox never really established an identity beyond Halo. Now the Wii is tearing up the sales charts with clever use of the Wiimote and a brilliant public image to the casual gamer, and the Xbox 360 has found an identity as the hardcore gamers machine, with games such as Gears, Dead Rising, GRAW, and Oblivion. Yes, the PS3 will find its footing, but how long does it really have against strong competition like the Wii and 360 before it's too late. 2. The public image has changed. All the public goodwill towards the PlayStation brand seems to have turned into a massive backlash, smacking the PS3 in the face with the hand that used to pat the PS1 and 2 on the back. Will it moderate eventually? Yes. However, once again, how long will it take, and how long does Sony really have? 3. Price. Yes, the prices will drop, but the differences are significant. $250 for a Wii, $400 for a 360, $500/600 for a PS3. That extra $100-200 really makes a difference given the, as of now, minimal difference with the 360. And the games will come that will set it apart, but that higher price makes it that much harder to really convince gamers to put money down for a PS3, especially casual gamers, who flocked almost exclusively to the PS2. Plus, price drops should be considered. Currently it's estimated that Sony loses about $200 on each PS3 manufactured. This makes for a significant hurdle to be cleared before the price can be dropped. $200 per unit when millions of units are being sold is a huge amount of money, and I'm sure Sony has no intentions of losing more. I'm not saying it's impossible to overcome, but it's going to be very hard to overcome. Is the PS3 doomed like fanboys like to scream it is? No, definately not. But it is in a precarious position, and to simply say that it's got DMC or MGS isn't enough to fix the position it's in right now. BTW, don't know if I've said this before, but your sig is awesome.

[QUOTE="gingerdivid"][QUOTE="Blackbond"] As for the parody of my sig, is it because I hit a soft spot with my links? Do you know what this proves? It proves that I won, that you finally gave in. You can't provide one link to a victory over me because you don't have one. Instead you create a sig mocking my union and one that personally mocks me lol.

But I will admit your "Zero Credibility" gets a 10/10 as funniest sig of all time lol. I clicked on your thread and was just browsing around and I was like wtf? Did somone hack my account? Then I saw it was yours lol. Beautifully done.

Yes Yo Foo er um I mean Gingerdivid. I lost because I didn't make tags mocking his union and his sig. As you can see it does not bother me as I even told him I was laughing and that it is the funniest sig of all time. Seriously Yo Foo er I mean Gingerdivid, the fact that he singled me out, out of the whole board should say something in itself.

Did you create that sig yourself? I'd be pretty pissed if someone used my sigs at all., hence why I make my name super big.

Wii  is by far the best system out there.

PS3 and Xbox 360 is just the same thing as playstation and xbox 5 years ago

Theres a reason theres no wii in stock anywhere and theres PS3's just lying around in stores.

Really someone else made it? I just assumed it was yours. The person who originally made it most likely got banned. I am not even hosting the image maybe I can find out where it came from.

But it is in a precarious position, and to simply say that it's got DMC or MGS isn't enough to fix the position it's in right now. BTW, don't know if I've said this before, but your sig is awesome.



1. Wii is in a different league to the PS3 or 360. It's targeting non gamers but the casuals of last gen that made the PS2 succeed need their GTA, GT, Madden fix and they'll head to the console that they trust the most due to how much enjoyment their PS2 brought them. I agree the competition is stronger, but it's not like Sony has no tricks up their sleeves. You cannot underestimate a company that a) dethroned Nintendo and b) has stayed on top for 10 + years.

2. I don't understand this point because the PS consoles at launches have all suffered in the public image. The DC was considered ahead of its time and many thought Sony were under delivering with their PS2 until the big guns like GTA3, MGS2 and FFX arrived. PS1 was laughed at, to put it simply. Nobody knew that GT would be a huge hit but when FFVII made the switch from N64 to PS1 everyone began to realize that Sony is a major competitor. Nothing's changed this time around. Sony has major series coming for the console and if people really were abandoning the PS3 in favour of the 360 the 360 would have sold many more units by now but it has failed to meet expectations and that's because consumers still trust Sony to deliver a enjoyable gaming experience...a lengthy gaming experience.

3. Price isn't as big a factor as people in SW believe. I can use a million examples of why it isn't. GC was cheaper than PS2, it still lost. Actually, I have a good example: Ipod is more expensive than most MP3 players yet it still dominates sales. Why? Because people trust Apple and the Ipod brand name is strong. Do you really think the PS brand name is weak after the major success of both the PS1 and the PS2? Look at the PSP. It has barely any good games yet it has managed to provide steady competition to the DS. Nintendo have lost market share in the handheld market due to Sony, and we all know the next handheld war will be a very close one. And then there's Blu-ray. Atm, it's beating HD-DVD and if it continues to do so Sony will be the beneficiaries in a huge way. It will restore a hell of a lot of money to the company, and by the looks of it, this will happen.

I'm not saying PS3 success is assured, but it's silly to ignore the fact that all consumers that were happy with their PS2 will just make the transfer to another console because of price. They will go where the games are and PS3 has all the major series that PS2 had.

Also, thanks for the sig comment, I like yours too. ;)

Yeah because if you knew anything Yo Foo was the one who originally had the "Yo Foo should stop posting banner" and just now he just clarified that someone else made it before him and he used it off of him. Then a lot of other users and myself started using it along with Yo Foo as a joke. Ginger you have no idea what you are talking about. Now I know you aren't Yo Foo because even Yo Foo would agree with me on this post.

[QUOTE="gingerdivid"][QUOTE="Blackbond"][QUOTE="gingerdivid"][QUOTE="Blackbond"][QUOTE="gingerdivid"][QUOTE="Blackbond"] As for the parody of my sig, is it because I hit a soft spot with my links? Do you know what this proves? It proves that I won, that you finally gave in. You can't provide one link to a victory over me because you don't have one. Instead you create a sig mocking my union and one that personally mocks me lol.

But I will admit your "Zero Credibility" gets a 10/10 as funniest sig of all time lol. I clicked on your thread and was just browsing around and I was like wtf? Did somone hack my account? Then I saw it was yours lol. Beautifully done.

Actually Blackbond you lost, you actually got baited big time. The fact that you 'owned' yo_foo dosen't mean a damn.



Yes Yo Foo er um I mean Gingerdivid. I lost because I didn't make tags mocking his union and his sig. As you can see it does not bother me as I even told him I was laughing and that it is the funniest sig of all time. Seriously Yo Foo er I mean Gingerdivid, the fact that he singled me out, out of the whole board should say something in itself.

:lol: do you think the 'yo-foo er um I mean gingerdivid' offended me? Just keep telling yourself that blackbond, it seems that you singled him out first with the yo_foo should stop posting and your yo_foo owned tags or was you unaware of what you had in your sig? surely that should say something in itself.



Yeah because if you knew anything Yo Foo was the one who originally had the "Yo Foo should stop posting banner" and just now he just clarified that someone else made it before him and he used it off of him. Then a lot of other users and myself started using it along with Yo Foo as a joke. Ginger you have no idea what you are talking about. Now I know you aren't Yo Foo because even Yo Foo would agree with me on this post.


Funny how you are now oblivious to the 'yo_foo owned' tags in your sig.



Oh I'm sorry, would you like me to post a picture to mock someone or to actually post proof and provide evidence proving my point? Speaking of evidence where is yours that you are a video game historian? Oh wait you don't have that either, now I'm disappointed....

You're right. It doesn't play DVDs. It plays The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, which makes it infinately better than any DVD player ever. EDIT: Now Timstuff is here. Man, this is just one giant SW meeting of the minds, isn't it? Yo_Foo, the_very_best, Haloissweet_ Kev_Unreal, GingerDivid, Blackbond, Timstuff... all we need now is poopinloop32 and SyluxElite and the roster is near complete!

Oh.

I can sort of see where the haters are coming from too, a bit. Sometimes, when talking about the union, we can come off sounding a bit arrogant (stuff concerning what the union's purpose is, and things like that). I don't think it's a big deal, but then again, if I did, I wouldn't be a member. ;) It's not really indicative of the union as a whole, or what we actually do.

In 3/4 of the "Buh buh my Wii broke my TV" videos on YouTube, the people in them are completely wasted. There is no reason to ever swing the Wiimote hard enough to break the strap.

Smart comments as always, the-very-best. I'd love to reply to all the points, but I really need to get to bed (3:11 AM EST as I start this), so I'll just focus on the price point.
3. Price isn't as big a factor as people in SW believe. I can use a million examples of why it isn't. GC was cheaper than PS2, it still lost. Actually, I have a good example: Ipod is more expensive than most MP3 players yet it still dominates sales. Why? Because people trust Apple and the Ipod brand name is strong. Do you really think the PS brand name is weak after the major success of both the PS1 and the PS2? Look at the PSP. It has barely any good games yet it has managed to provide steady competition to the DS. Nintendo have lost market share in the handheld market due to Sony, and we all know the next handheld war will be a very close one. And then there's Blu-ray. Atm, it's beating HD-DVD and if it continues to do so Sony will be the beneficiaries in a huge way. It will restore a hell of a lot of money to the company, and by the looks of it, this will happen.the-very-best
The iPod is a very unique example that I really don't think applies in this case for one reason: iPod has no strong competitors. Nobody, not Creative, not iRiver, nobody has the brand name to compete with iPod, which was the first really developed MP3 player and profits greatly from it today. Not even the Zune, with Microsoft's backing, can stand up against the might of iPod. The PlayStation brand name may be strong, but it's nowhere near the might of the iPod brandname. PlayStation, however, has very strong competitors with well established brandnames in both Nintendo and Xbox. And, yes, the GameCube was cheaper than the PS2, and the Xbox dropped in price before the PS2 did, but the PS2 wound up beating both. However, the PS2 had two things going for it the PS3 doesn't. The first is a head start. This year head start the PS2 gave it the advantage we see the 360 having right now: specifically, when the other consoles are getting their first generation of games, the early launcher (PS2 or 360) is getting their second round of games. When the GCN and Xbox launched, the PS2 had already had a killer app in GT3: A-Spec for several months, and during October and November of 2001 it got a major boost in Grand Theft Auto 3, Devil May Cry, and Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. That's a trio that Luigi's Mansion just can't stand up to. Also, the PS2 had the benefit of DVD technology. The PS2 launched right around when DVD's were getting very popular, and it was more affordable than any stand alone DVD player. The PS3 may have that potential benefit in BluRay technology, but BluRay has not achieved the penetration that DVD had, which had been out for 4 years prior to the PS2 launch. Heck, BluRay hasn't even beat HD-DVD, so that benefit just isn't there for the PS3 like it was for the PS2. And, though this will diminish over time, the image affects how much effect the price has greatly. Right now the PS3 is largely viewed as equivilent to the 360, if you view it as a games machine. After all, they both have largely the same catalogue. If you view the PS3 as a BluRay player, it's a great deal, but as a gamer the value just isn't there. This will change over time as more games hit (GT5, MGS4, FFXIII), but the question becomes is it worth the money for the casual gamer? Afterall, the difference between the GameCube and the PS2 was much smaller than the difference between the difference between the Wii or 360 and the PS3 (if nothing else due to the extra money needed to even afford the 360 over the original Xbox, not just the difference between the different consoles). Anyways, it's one of those things that time alone will tell. Time to step aside and let this Yo_Foo thread run its course. 3:31 AM EST. Time to sleep.

What happens when Yo_Foo and Gingerdivid unite to create the ultimate obnoxious/retarded/pedantic fanboy team?? The answer: the same usual crap that always happens in SW.
