In case you didn't know, Denmark is part of Scandinavia...


Pff we will never accept Denmark as a part of the Scandinavia :D


lol I think i pretty much sure know what countries are Scandinavia, you teach it in the first grade in school. Scandinavia is Sweden and Norway. And Finland is counted as part of Scandinavia (this Scandinavia, with those 3 countries is called Fenno-Scandia). Denmark is not part of Scandinavia, but it is not part of continental Europe either. Its the same thing like UK (or GB, to be more specific), its just Denmark (it also is a part of the Nordic countries [Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Iceland])


You're talking about the geographical peninsula meaning of scandinavia, which is not the most common usage nowadays.

PS: Anyway, what matters for the purposes of this forum is that Denmark is economically and socially similar to Norway and Sweden (while Finland is different from those countries).


Almost forgot this topic...

Now i get it, it's because of how do you define Scandinavia. In Scandinavia we have whole different meaning to your "Scandinavia of five". Well ok, i'm not exactly from Scandinavia. :) The peninsula is Scandinavia. Period. 

And now i'm interested  about, how does Finland differ from Sweden, Norway and Denmark socially and economically? Norway does differ because of it's better income, but it's also the smallest of those countries. And Sweden being the poorest, when looking at peoples income, it's the biggest by pop.

MGS4, Heavenly Sword, Lair, KH3, FFXIII, SOCOM 4, Turok (not sure if its multi platform), Killzone 2, Mercs 2 (not sure if its multi platform), Black 2 (confirmed last month for PS3 exclusive) Mercs 2 and Turok are coming to the 360 too. And no one knows where KH3 will end at. If it comes to the PS3, I´m pretty sure its going to 360 too. Who knows if MGS4 will end at 360 too...

No mention of the Wii?

 You can't mention the competitor that is clearly kicking your ass.    Sony will never catch up the Wii.

 Finland, I would assume, has stronger cultural ties to Russia than Norway or Sweden.  I mean, they *were* part of Russia as recently as 100 years ago.

(this is my assumption, I could be wrong)

Indeed. Sony is going against pretty powerful software exclusives from Microsoft and Nintendo. Break out the bandages because it may not be pretty when those two get through with Sony.

 

 

 

See, there it is again. Sony doesn't have any powerful software exclusives? Good grief.

 


Yeah, it definitely goes in all directions.

Nintendo fanboys will mention all the great games coming out for their system, claim this means the race is over, and convienently forget to mention all the great titles coming out on Xbox360 and PS3.

PS3 fanboys will mention all the great games coming out for their system, claim this means the PS3 will win the race "in the end," and conviently forget to metnion all the great titles coming out on Wii and Xbox360.

Xbox360 fanboys will mention all the great games coming out for their system, claim this means that the Wii/PS3 will never catch the Xbox360, and convienently forget to mention all the great titles coming out on the Wii and PS3.

Did I miss anyone?

I'm in the Nintendo camp and I don't know if the Wii will win, but it definitely won't lose. The Wii has already made enough profit to justify it's existence. All the sales from now on are just the cherry on top, and it's going to be one whopper of a cherry.

yes you are wrong, im from sweden, I live in stockholm, finland was actually a part of sweden, so was norway, during swedens period of greatness....well it was quite a while ago, but during a couple of hundreds of years, finland and norway actually belonged to us, and that must have left a trace.

...i can't really speak for finland or norway, i just think we are kind of brothers up here, especially in the relationsship between norway and sweden, although we let them down during the second world war.

I'm sorry, I keep speaking with ambiguous pronouns here... I meant to say that Finland was part of Russia 100 years ago, not Norway or Sweden. I know Sweden and Norway were never part of Russia. But I also know that Sweden once appointed some nobody from France as their king. But then again, you guys have the best chefs.
