After all 3 consoles come out, the only market left for the older consoles is casuals, kids getting a cheap first console, and the odd core gamer that missed out the entire generation. Also 3rd world gaming markets. These all dont pertain to us, who made our console choices allready.

The general population doesnt frequent gaming forums. Core gamers frequent them.Your using causals as a crutch, your dealing in core gamers, who as you said, see things in a shallow way. Play by our rules because thats where you are.


Actually I would say you are using the forums as your crutch to attempt to mold things into your own personal world view.

We work in the real world. Forums exist on the internet, which was created by people in the real world. Discussions in the there are about consoles that sell, in the real world. They sell based on demand, in the real world. Sales continue because of quality software created and released on them, in the real world. Everything pertaining to whether or not a console keeps chugging along or fizzles out is a product of consumer demand and developer support which exists in, wait for it...

The real world.

 

Real world rules always apply over made up rules that have no other purpose than to say "Ha! It ends now because I said so, PS3 finished in last place!".

Real world will see it differently, which is why your whole notion of "Play by our rules" is quite silly.

 

@Bolded

That should also say "Sales2099's rules" because by looking at this thread and those of us who have been here long before you have, we clearly don't consider those to be "our rules".

Considering most of the allegaiances in this thread pertain to Sony, id imagine you dont share those kinds of rules.

What does that mean? That the Sony fans play by the rules of the real world? That's a good thing and not just that, but if we are to believe that Sony fans are the majority in these forums, well, then the real world rules are our rules on the forums.

 

Either way, I don't let console allegiances cloud my view of how the world really works. Whether it be when I was called a Nintendo fan, a Microsoft fan or a Sony fan. I expect to soon be called an iOS fan, although I think that may have happened already in one of the iOS vs Android threads where I was comparing the 4S to the Galaxy S3 because I own both of them.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)
