FYI, I own a DS and a Wii as well as a PS3. I'm not bashing the Nintendo systems. There are a lot of hypocrites on this thread because you know damn well that if this were ANY high profile PS3 game that had its price slashed so quickly you guys would be all over it. I love how all of these supposed huge Nintendo fans have crawled out of the woodwork the last couple of years since the DS and the Wii have been popular. Where were you during the Gamecube and N64 years? I was there. I bought and enjoyed both. The bandwagon jumpers on this site should take a long walk off a short pier.

 

is it okay your grace if i went nes, snes, ps1, xbox, xbox360? 

 

i also owned n64, ps2 and wii

My point is that there are an awful lot of people who are now willing to defend everything Nintendo does to the death, but didn't put their money where their mouth was during the hard times.  By owning a N64, you are not being hypocritical.

 

And there are an awful lot of people spending every waking moment on this forum making threads and replies willing to attack everything Nintendo does to the death. You lose the right to whine about people defending Nintendo when you're the one constantly attacking them and everything related to them. That's right, the majority of your posts are always railing against something remotely related to Nintendo.

I love how all of these supposed "former" Nintendo fans come crawling out of the woodwork in the face of the success of the DS and the Wii screaming and whining about how they've been abandoned and blah blah while spending most of the time talking about specific games on Wii/DS who's supposed scarcity led them to bail on Nintendo in the first place. We get it, you can't be against Nintendo and support efforts like CTW and expect to be taken seriously be anyone. Really, we do. How dare Take-Two give the DS a GTA game. Just...how dare they!

But really, a Best Buy sale? Not a press release, a MSRP drop, you know...something remotely credible? Just one store's temporary sale? OMG FLOPZZZZ!111 I guess it's a step up over the trolls that were clinging to first week sales (and have already disappeared into the shadows after humiliating themselves), but really this latest stunt just reeks of desperation.

I imagine as CTW starts to close in on the PSP GTA sales, arguments will shift to "compared to install base" or "developer expectations." Anything to move those goal posts!
