System wars Lounge V89: (Chicken Salt edition)

Oh man, you didn't hear?

What are we fighting about?

I saw Ace Frehley and Slaughter in concert last night. My ears are still ringing and I'm definitely getting too old. Lol.

@Last_Lap: don't end up like this guy!

When until Phil (the dickhead) Spencer officially announces no more Xbox consoles, the war still rages on, just. Not only that but Nintendo vs Sony is still a thing, and Nintendo is killing Sony right now (they've won the current gen) sheeple need to rise up. And when the Switch 2 releases Nintendo should win next gen too. SO still some wars to be fought, just not for true lems like myself, just about every other "lem" has become a Phil sycophant, very disturbing.

However, I've been mostly retro for about 3 or 4yrs now, so it doesn't affect me really. But it would be a shame if this joint closes as it has its moments, and I couldn't see myself going to any other forum, this place a certain charm, not sure what that charm is, all I know it's there lol.

He's the Japanese soldier who wouldn't believe that world war 2 was over and so he stayed in the jungle and continued believing he needed to fight for 30 years after the war....

I'm referencing him because we don't want to fight a war that is over....

Valve won... Everyone knows this. I'm KODDING! RELAX!👀😁

The pic you posted had little to no context, other than saying he hid after the war which would imply that he hid because he didn't want to go back to Japan as a failure, because back in those days dishonour was worse than death.

MS has announced new consoles next gen and Nintendo will release the first next gen hardware in the Switch 2, and Sony will announce the PS6, so technically the war is still on, albeit a watered-down war, but a war nonetheless.

EDIT: For the last part, well we both know you're not kidding 🤭

@last_lap: I am definitely kidding... I don't even know how to assign victory in this market. It feels transitory. PC has benefitted from the transition for sure but Nintendo also seems rock solid at the moment.

Who do you think won? Er is winning?

Bear with me on this one. Well once a gen is over then we can assign a winner (and sometimes sooner as you will find out as you read on). For some reason people seem to think that the Switch is a last gen machine, when that is clearly not the case. Because if we look back the Wii beat the 360/PS3 in sales and thus won the 7th gen. Now the Wii U started the 8th gen in 2012, 2yrs before the XB1/PS4 released, and Sony won that 8th gen.

Then Nintendo started the 9th gen really early with the Switch because the Wii U was a sales disaster, however people think that the Switch is an 8th gen machine, when it's a new console not compatible with the Wii U, hence it started the 9th gen. So, with 150+ million sales (and counting) and with Sony's PS5 sitting at 65 million 5yrs in and next gen a few years away, there is no way that the PS5 will overtake the Switch, so Nintendo has won the 9th gen.

So, when Nintendo release the Switch 2 is will officially start the 10th gen. And if it sells like hotcakes like the Switch did then they will have won 3/4 (currently 2/3) last generations, and Sheeple should be giving it to the cows. As for the lems (myself included, we've never won a gen so its pointless to try and mock lems) Sheeple really have missed an opportunity here.

As for PC, well its genless, so it can't win any gen.

Anything you disagree with there?

two of my favorite people in the world

@nod_eclipse_: Emmanuelle Proulx and Lawrence Dickerson?

@girlusocrazy: Throw in the LeBaron too. And Em's strawberry deodorizer, lol.

Would be hilarious if Disney fired Ryan Reynolds from Deadpool.

Yeah, I really hate the mohawk on orb head look of the American media.

Lol, I remember that godawful Sonic origin story of friendly Dr. Ivo Kintobor and brown Sonic in his treadmill experiment from Sega of America's internal document for potential licenses being used in my big brother's "Sonic the Comic."

The Japanese Mega Drive covers were so stylish.

Funny little video.

They need to bring this technology back.
