Forums - Sony Discussion - why can't we just talk about the facts ?

caz604 on 15 April 2010

It's because we're human.

I remember writing a thesis that even supposed objective facts/remarks are in truth still subjective.

Gotta love bias, favouritism, and acceptance. A slight modification of old Maslows hierarchy of Needs.



I game.  You game.  We game.

I'm a videogamer, not a fanboy, but have a special place for Nintendo.

and the 360 has a high failure rate. and that alone makes 36 the wors't consolce on the market, and the wii dosn't have hardcore games people won't to buy.

See your talking about facts yet you spew opinions as facts.

somebody said a while back thatL.BP was a faliure. is that a fact i think not. 3m sold

Of course it's a failure. It didn't kill the Wii, sell 10 million copies or cure cancer.


isn't that asking to mutch of a game. even the ps3 can't do everything. but good point.

That would explain why NSMBWii and MKWii have outsold every single individual game on either PS3 or 360, then. No wait, they're casual games, because they don't have excessive violence and gore. My bad.


those are true crushing sales facts.

Facts don't apply equally to all people. We should be careful with how we apply facts, lest we slip into socialism.

The wii doesn't have hardcore games people want to buy is one of those "not fact" things you were complaining about in your OP.

So... ask yourself why you posed that... and you will have answered your own question.


im trying to prove a point. im a wii fan a bought red steal 2.

You failed in your point however.


The PS3 is still in a distant 3rd place.  That's true.  The Conclusion is an opion.

The 360 has a high failure rate.  True.  The conclusion is an opinion.


You offered no corresponding fact for the wii before you came up with a conclusion.

some facts are misleading. i gusse thats what im learnning from this. post quote(You offered no corresponding fact for the wii before you came up with a conclusion) true but i posted that on what some would say are common facts. but the wii is more none for its core games.
