You know when BoG first posted I thought he was just going to be a nice guy with some insight into the industry.

I was wrong. Still, this thread should go down in VGC history as one place where every single member agrees.

So what your saying is someone on the internet thought something that wasn't true, and instead of politely correcting them, people rudely criticized his mental capacity?

That is pretty crappy. I don't think I'll visit your site now that I know what people there are like.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

I highly doubt he talks to "industry professionals" who say things such as:

"It's because the Wii is the smallest console hence the cheapest to develop for. You can fit less data in it, due to its size, so you don't need as many people. Fucking obvious really."

As that makes no sense. The Wii is the cheapest to develop for because it has lower SPECS. It has very little to do with storage constraints. It can't handle higher res textures, higher polygon count models, highly advanced AI or Physics, etc etc, which means less development costs due to less programmers, artists, animators, etc etc etc...

Oh yeah. Nice traffic bait there spanky...

You idiot, you're completely wrong.

Everyone knows that the Wii is easiest to develop for because its DVD drive spins backwards.

Buncha f***in' morons around here, I tell ya. Not like me and my buddies.

*high fives imaginary friend and then crushes beer can on head*


 No dude!  Obviously, since the Wii is smaller, it has less extra space to cool down the inside, therefore constantly overheating the thing, and making developing for it EVEN HARDER!

HIGH FIVE!

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Is posting IP addresses an offence on these forums?

It is most places I visit.

Ok, great, FJ warez, a member on this site, (as well as multiple other sites I'm SURE), visited your site, and made an assertion about the Wii and why it's cheaper to develop for. He's wrong, and his post didn't make much sense, but
A) you could have corrected him,
B) FJ Warez does not equal VGChartz, I make tons of posts under BenKenobi88 on various other sites, that does not mean I am a VGChartz representative, and
C) I don't understand why you're even mad...his post wasn't even that bad, it was just misinformed. Please continue high-fiving your buddies.
