Forums - Sony - Sony Defence Force: I need your help!

My life is like a battleground. By this, I mean there is always an ongoing war between owners of various consoles, and facts can suddenly seem confusing when everyone is questioning them. I've got a friendship-group that I'm trying to convince that the NGP is awesome. The only problem is that I'm outnumbered around 3:1, and I have nothing to back up my points with. You know how hard it is to convince someone who doesn't want to listen, right? That's why I need your help. Below are a list of genuine quotations that I've had to defend myself against in the last week or so - relating both to the games and the sales potential of the NGP. I've managed to hold my ground so far, but it's getting more difficult by the minute. How can I respond to these statements?

"3DS looks much better [graphically] than NGP"

"NGP is for core gamers; like the PSP"

"Hot Shots Golf Next is a minigame"

"The NGP line-up is almost completely made up of ports"

"Rear touchpads are a gimmick, and will fail because it's a new idea"

 

That's all I've got so far, but if I get hit by more, I'll report them here. Thanks for the assistance, comrades.

From what I've seen which isn't much the NGP is obviously many many times more powerful than the 3DS. Anyone saying otherwise is just stupid.

NGP is for core gamers. Sony  has always went after the core gamer.

Hot Shots Golf Next sure does look like a game that shouldn't cost as much as game such as Uncharted but I don't know if its a mini-game. In betweener.

I'd say the 3DS lineup has alot of ports so thats a moot point.

Rear touchpads could be a gimmick. I think I'd get annoyed by it pretty quickly.

I don't even like that idea. When I heard about it, I was like wtf Sony?

"3DS looks much better [graphically] than NGP"

 This makes no sense, because its not true at all..  3D automatically reduces the quality.

"NGP is for core gamers; like the PSP"

PSN has minis and lots of great non "core gamer" games.. like fat princess and now angry birds . Also a lot of games from iphone are moving to PSN.

"Hot Shots Golf Next is a minigame"

Why is this really important? I didnt realize that was such a big deal title

"The NGP line-up is almost completely made up of ports"

Disagree, little deviants, Gravity Daze. And anyway the titles will be spinoffs not ports.

3DS is full of ports *cough* resident evil *cough*

"Rear touchpads are a gimmick, and will fail because it's a new idea"

Disagree. You can actually do some pretty cool stuff with a rear touchpad that people just havent though about.

Basically you can think of touch pads being 3D now. the rear and front used together give you a 3d touch vector.

"3DS looks much better [graphically] than NGP" You could always show some trailers, I keep them on me at all times

"NGP is for core gamers; like the PSP" Show them little deviants and then Resident Evil: Revelations and then insist that those games are representative of both consoles libraries.

"Hot Shots Golf Next is a minigame" Just say that all casual games consist of mini games and use it as proof of point 2

"The NGP line-up is almost completely made up of ports" Just tell them the truth most of the announced games are not ports but spin offs 

"Rear touchpads are a gimmick, and will fail because it's a new idea" Say so is 3D and gimmicks are good for games



You keep trailers on you at all times?


who doesn't? I also keep a collection of shrunken heads and other various amulets.

1. Tell them to buy better glasses

2. It is

3. By this definition every sports game is.

4. So is lineup of 3DS

5. Rear touchpad is great because using it doesn't stop you from accesing front face controls

6. They are probably just trying to teass you. Human beings can't be this stupid ;)

Ive seen this thread somewhere before hmm.

Tell them to make another one of the parody threads you see here everyday.

And tell them that NGP will cost $598 and games that will cost $100 and even then fail to break even. 

You do realise that one of these got locked today?

What's with nintendo fans and parody threads anyway? Its usually a nintendo fan that makes one like this, never expected snesboy to this though.
