| KruzeS said: I guess in a way, yes, the thread is ok, since it's not insulting or anything. But I wonder, is this guy anyone we'd know or heard of? I really don't know, so please do ignore me if he is. If he isn't, on the other hand, I have to ask then what's the point? Rocketpig said he sold his Wii, and that is fine by me. I really am glad he decided to share that with us, as he's an active member of this forum - we "know" him that way, respect him, his views, etc. If, on the other hand, someone registred just to make such a post, I'd be more suspicious (like so what, why should we care?), but still think it's fine, as at least it's his own opinion. But posting that some random guy with a blog that no one knows, is not pleased with one of his purchases, as if it was a newsworthy article... that, I just don't get. So the big question for me is: who the hell is Cole? At least give us some context... |
Yeah, if it was an ex-forum member, a person of significance, a reviewer or developer then yeah, this would be important, but for the most part it just seems to be some guy of no relevance voicing his opinion. If I found a dude on the street who said he didn't like the PS3 would it be okay for me to post his brief explanation why on here as its own topic?
The only thing I can imagine in terms of the thread purpose from the OP's perspective is to illustrate his opinion of: "I don't own a Wii and never will so to illustrate my skepticism/dislike for it, here is an article from a guy who did own one and agrees with me for the most part." That's all I can figure on a possible point for this topic. Not to bash Legend but I honestly have no clue what else this thread's intended purpose or value could be outside of that or a similar scenario.
Seriously though, I wonder if Sony or MS fans of the forum would respond any differently to a thread like this if it was about respective consoles? Not to cry double standard but I could not imagine seeing a thread like this for the PS3 not getting flamed to hell with a healthy serving of "This forum is Nintendo bias" and "Nintendo fanboys are always bashing the PS3 cause they're jealous" comments.
