The real reason why Nintendo fans find KB annoying is that he made fun of the wii in that one video...how can someone possibly hate on that guy ?

No. The shots at the competition were long after I was tired of this fool (which makes it even worse, of course).

He always acts like a douche, whether it's something like this, or trolling the competition (see the Move one). All the while not being funny, but looking more bitter than anything.

... When I think about it, his act reminds me of Stephen Colbert. I'm not exactly a fan of that guy, either.

In general, I also don't like when companies attack the competition - If they're going to do it, it better be damn funny. From what I've seen, neither Nintendo nor MS do this, while Sony does, and it isn't doing me any favors for warming up to their games.

Exactly. Plus besides all that, he seems so...contrived? I feel like I'm just watching the end result of a bunch of marketing executives sitting around, scheming, thinking, "Okay. We need somebody who's funny. Universal. Edgy. Smarmy. Disparaging of the competition..." 

And so on. He's annoying, douchey, doesn't say anything particularly funny, and the ads are just way too self-satisfied and inauthentic.

that commercial was pretty bad. step your game up,how about Sony step your game up are just discontinue the psp all-together.


ROFL! I guess we're PSP haters.

Seriously, the commercials have been aggrevating me lately. I have to change the channel when that kid starts speaking and on top of that, they are doing all of this way too late in the generation. I doubt it will make an impact on the PSP GO or the PSP 3000 here in the americas. If people are not into something or interested, why bother convincing them? The PSP GO was born to fail.

I like those new ads for the PSP.

But I hate cheap-shots. Like butler's ads, the ones that he talks only about the games are great, the others where he talk smack about wii, natal and everything else are quite arrogant.

But I hope there'll be a PSP2, done right this time. I don't like the PSP for one reason... it's just really what the name implies... a portable playstation. The same thing could be achieved pluging a mini tv on a PS2... that's where he failed, imo, and no amount of the best graphics in the world could make it attractive to me - not after what the DS has achieved.

So I hope this PSP fails... but only to make space for a new PSP, with unique capabilities.

I don't know how its even allowed to say what you people are saying "Discontinue it, it sucks, its dead, kill it already" ..honestly? THE 360 is barely selling more than the PSP.. and its install base is 20 million units behind the PSP.. why don't you guys go there and talk crap about the 360? Oh wait microsoft is pushing it with kinect! Well sony is pushing the PSP with the ad campaign..

None of you even own a psp why are you posting in this thread to begin with to say its over, it should be discontinued?

And what is the 3DS? Tell me? Because what nintendo's line up is, is ports from HUGE console games.. and everyone is going crazy over it..

The PSP's line up has improved drasticly, you and many others dont research, PATAPON, HOT SHOTS, LOCOROCO, are just 3 of many great handheld franchises that make the PSP a unique handheld, and no they aren't console games on a handheld.

You don't know how it's allowed? Does that mean you think negative opinions, statements or beliefs about the PSP should be banned?



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

does that mean saying a platform should die and be discontinued should be allowed?

I'm not talking about the games, I'm talking about the way you play the games.

I'm talking about doing music in electroplancton with your voice. I'm talking about cooking a recipe in Pokemon by misturing a things on a cooking pot, or by getting scores by your dictation in Brain Age.

Those things. Nintendo games are great... but what made the DS a phenomenon was they way people played them.
