Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Why 3DS Cafe doom threads are getting lame

They are getting lame because it's a waste of time, because the people that post the doom threads are never going to change their mind. I think maybe they just want to start an argument. I don't like the PS3. I don't hate it, because I don't really know much about it, because I prefer Nintendo consoles. I don't post hate threads about the Playstation, mostly because doing so would be a waste of my time. The people I would be arguing with would never change their mind, and it would just end up making people mad at each other. Perhaps these threads are being posted because the XBox and Playstation owners do not want to see their favorite console being beaten by another. I would feel the same way if another console was more popular than my favorite.

But most importantly: This is the internet. People are always going to criticize something, no matter what it is, no matter what the reason. I have come to accept this, and so whenever i see a hate thread, I just ignore it, because doing otherwise will only cause trouble.

Hi, I'd like to dedicate this thread to 1 thing: Doom threads and posts. To my sadness, my latest satirical thread got locked, and I can understand why. Maybe some saw a lack of substance, even a lack of humor. I can take it. In return, I would like to ask you guys why you think doom threads/posts are lame, especially the latest ones on the 3DS and Cafe.

I'll grant myself the right of 1st thought, providing a few reasons why I think they're lame:

1) Most Nintendo doom threads and posts are written by Sony fans or by users who haven't showed interest on any Nintendo portable, past or future. In other words, no matter what Nintendo offers them, they still won't buy it. Their arguments are based on predisposition, not on fact. No matter what you tell them, it will still be doomed.

2) There is rarely any accurate correlation with patterns in the past. The most blatant example, the 3DS' weak launch sales and launch titles. We all know the DS was weak when it launched, saleswise and game-wise. Why does this have to be repeated a million times? If the DS was a phenomenon, why wouldn't the same happen for the 3DS? (rhetorical)

3)  Most Doom posters don't acknowledge Nintendo's new management, and its amazing feat in bringing the Nintendo home consoles from shame to fame (21 million cubes to 86 million Wiis). They fail to see that, though NIntendo failed the core market in the past, the new generation may be able to pull it off.

Why else are the Doom posts and threads lame. Please begin, balance out this vibe for me. Humor welcome

I think 3DS and Cafe are doomed, but I don;t fall under the categories you mentioned.

First off the DS was a success, but the 3DS is not the DS, the DS was designed around the right ideas, great battery lfe, good price, good control scheme allowing for accessible play.  The 3DS on the other hand has horible battery life, 3D is underwhelming and doesn;t really add to most games, and detracts for many, the price is too high, and the layout of the controls is poor.

In addition, while the launch lineup of the DS was weak , it was clear early on tht it would begin to move in the right direction, towarsds the types of games that made the DS and the Wii successful, the opposite is true for the 3DS, 3D Mario is a clear example of this wrong direction.

Much as the Wii followed the DS, the Cafe seems to be following the 3DS, and seems to be going in a direction that will not be  successful, Nintendo is no longer interested in fighting disinterest in gaming and expanding the audience of gaming, they are instead going to fight over the same old market that they fought over in the N64 and GCN eras, and lost.



Once I dared to question the HD consoles.............I GOT BANNED.

Watch and see as 3DS rises to the top in a few months when Super Mario releases and watch the doom threads fizzle only to erupt once again when a certain circumstance occurs.

I don't see how you can beging to criticize Cafe when you know next to nothing about it. The only information out is just rumors, and that's all it is. Rumors. They must not be treated as facts.

You are incorrect. Actually most, if not all, of the "Nintendo = doomed!?!" related threads have been made by Nintendo fans. But keep up with your victimization complex... It suits you.

That's really poor evidence. What we have here, in order, is one "it's still all good though" thread, four repostings of articles on other websites (thus not written by Nintendo fans) and one thread from the guy who talks so weird that it's hard to understand what he means most of the time.

Are you even aware of what I was responding too? Regardless of fans proclaiming doom or a 'whatever it all gooood yo!' it seems that Nintendo fans (and radientshadow *shakes head*) like to circlejerk the doom all over themselves.

But if you need some help I'll be happy to pinpoint it 4 U

I've gone over that one before bud. I've even had personal discussions with some of them (went a little farther than you did on that one). Those people have valid points. Most of those "fans" are either really Nintendo fans with reasonable arguments, like axt113, or phoney fans (believe it or not they exist), or just anti-Nintendo. I'm more referring to topics like this:

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=128763&page=1

It's not victimization, it's total annoyance. After two months of it, I got sick. Indulge me, you and your 3,248 posts.

Well, I don't need all 3,248 to tell you that your little shuffle into this discussion was completely wrong. All I need is one. And it's the one you responded to...

And I find it hi-larious that one thread translates into "ZOMG, TEH SONY FANZ POST ALL THE NINTENDO DOMED NEWZZZ... Z!!!"

What your speaking about though, I can understand. I remember when I first started to look at Internet gaming news, the ps3 was the fucking Hindenburg, or so people thought. This was just before the slim launch mind you and the wii and 360 were having their way with the tripplz. I remember how much the sony crowed mobilized. It was like a fucking jihad! It could even be seen on this site. And the source of all this silly plastic worshiping hostility stemmed from the feeling of doomz that various threads and articles created, most of which were posted and subsequently circle jerked by sony fans (interesting parallel).

Basically you shouldn't be so upset because some of your Nintendo brotherin posted some article about the 3ds not doing so hot... or even making statements like the first like I provided in my previous post. You shouldn't be so annoyed...
