| Onimusha12 said: 1. I'm refusing your request because its based on puting words in my mouth. PS3 fans being in denial over Six-Axis does not require them to suggest it is comprable to or superior to the Wii Motion Controls so your request of this is moot. You're just spinning your wheels in hopes that you can snag me on a self-imposed rule that you feel should be included in the argument after the fact. 2. Its not my fault you misinterpreted my statement or have been reduced to trying to exploit such an isolated piece of semantics as the backbone of your argument. 3. In the end, if there is any validity to your argument, then why are you reduced to such inconsequential points of contention? Allow me to repeat the sum of my cliam which you've done everything to cherry pick your way out of. The Sony Fandom still give props to Six-Axis, people still praise Blu-Ray as a necessity to gaming, people still rave about the Cell processor, people still praise manditory installations, people still praise the PS-Eye, people still praise HOME, people still praise every new PS3 exclusive as the Game of the Year. Unless you can refute all of these then you're simply just cherry picking to create the illusion of having an argument. Even if you were right about Six-Axis (which all you have to the benefit of your argument is the lack of Sony having released anything that would beg the issue since 2007), where does that leave you on the rest of these? |
1. "PS3 fans couldn't go on enough about how Six-Axis was going to be superior to the Wii remote." If you don't think they still believe this, then in what way exactly DO you believe they're in denial about the Sixaxis motion controls "anytime someone talks about that warhawk flying game"?
2. Semantics? I'm trying (as I have been trying from the start) to get you to back up or back down a specific claim you made. I am using your written words to try to identify and pin you down on what that claim is. Where am I being asinine with semantics?
3. I'm sorry that I gave the impression that I was willing to turn this thread into a giant war over the precise extent to which PS3 fans are delusional. I am not and never said anything to contradict this. Here's the short version of what I think of your list:
i. Sixaxis motion controls are not worthless -- some praise is deserved. Your OPINION is that it gets too much, but you have yet to provide any egregious examples.
ii. Blu-ray in fact gives a massive storage advantage over DVD. Many people take this too far. I am not going to debate the level of self-deception in those people's minds.
iii. The Cell processor. Well, I guess instead of debating this we could just PM MikeB and find out for sure how far it goes.
iv. The PS Eye. You have yet to actually explain what's wrong with this. I haven't even heard ANYone talk about it in quite some time, let alone delusionally tout it as some massive advantage over the other systems.
v. HOME: people hyped this up as much as all three fanbases hype up any big game. Now it's falling short, but as I said it could improve dramatically.
vi. What kind of joke is this? Alan Wake? The Conduit? Maybe they'll be the bees' knees, but you don't really know. All three fanbases do this; you just hold PS3 fans in such sneering contempt that they look especially stupid when their hopes are dashed or they hold out hope in denial while hopes-being-dashed reviews roll in.
If you go back to my original post on the matter, it's very clear that while I disagree with much of your post I was restricting my subject matter to one specific area and fact-based objections.
Now that I look back I can see that you've completely lost sight of where this all began, because I really don't think you're so stupid or self-deluded as to mistake my crystal clear intentions.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
