True story?

Anyways, I started posting on gaming forums this gen and even though I was a Nintendo fan, I thought the hardcore Nintendo fans were by far the most fanboyish and annoying of the three (maybe in retaliation to Wii getting so much heat ).

Then as it became clear that Sony had really fucked up with PS3, the hardcore PS3 fans seem to become the most annoying of the bunch and it has remained so even now.

I find this shows on this forum alot with a few select Sony fans (You all know them) who try to appear all innocent and unbiased/not too bias while being  negative about the other platforms by carefully wording their words so as not to be obvious even though I'm sure everyone sees right through them.

1/ you admit being clueless and at the same time you guessed i felt you were talking about me - good luck with that logic Dr. Watson

^^^ clueless being that i didn't get to the later half of the thread yet so i didn't see what you were talking about with the other people. I did see the little blue reply thingy in the "vgchartz buddy" which went directly to your reply to me. I seen your reply to me before i seen your other comments.

This is why i stated right then and there that i didn't get to the later half of the thread, sherlock

2/ why reduce the paragraph ? Oh yeah, becasue the definition of "it" was key...

Most of these people usually lie or exaggerate the whole Sony fan horridness. I call people out on it every once in a while and of course they usually have nothing to say

So my question still stands and you would realize that you admitted doing the exact same thing you denounce "lol I'm exaggerating but you get the point"

SMH!

That's EXACTLY why i was exaggerating, sherlock

3/ that is actually related to the second point lol - how you made it a thrid point is another illustration of your flawed logic

it's flawed logic because i spaced it out?? really?

what was "weird" about it? ;)

Look up the fall of Sega and you will find theres line of reasons from  internal instability to stability to the launch of the Saturn to relationships with retailers and third party as to why Sega had issues with the Saturn, scrapped it and eventually fell after the Dreamcast. Hardware was only one of the reasons but for the major part they fixed most of the issues with the Dreamcast outside of the piracy issue.

So it WAS basically Sega's fault

and What exactly did Sony do to Nintendo to make them mad at Sony?

Nintendo and Sony were supposed to work together on a console but Nintendo pulled out. Nintendo was the one's who decided to stick with the cartridges

Nintendo wasn't pissed at Sony, the fans of Nintendo were pissed at Sony (while others jumped ship) because the JRPG's had switched to playstation. They found the tech Sony used to be far more favorable. Sony had gained the good  graces of third parties with their technological endeavours and they decided to side with Sony. The most notable names were Capcom and Squaresoft (not square enix yet) amongst a fleet of them. There were multiplats, but too few to constitute not owning both consoles because both truly were their own animals. Sony proved themselves adept to the politics of dealing with hardware development, pricing and support before they even hit the ground running. Before the existence of the Playstation brand it was Nintendo who Sega couldnt manage to pry third parties away from. They had to create their own pepsi like commercialism, using stars like Michael Jackson, Joe Montana and other famous names in games to get people to come towards their product. This is also where Sonic stole the show in the same vein as what Mario did for Nintendo. Truly, the 90's was the greatest generation to have console mascots.

yea i already know all of that

The Nintendo fans should be mad at Nintendo for that, not Sony

and yea, the 90's were the greatest!

edited - might be ironic - who knows ?

Most of the 3rd party games available during the 32bit era needed the space available on a CD. N64 ports either cut out a lot of content or highly compressed it. One of the largest N64 carts was for Resident Evil 2.

Games like MGS, Final Fantasy 7, 8, and 9 as well as countless others were never available on the N64 or the Saturn. If the Playstatin never existed those games would have been Sega exclusives.

The truth about the hardware of the Saturn is very missunderstood by most people. It was actualy the more powerfull console of all three. But, much like the PS3 it was very difficult to program for. As a result publishers found it cheaper to make games on the Playstation and it's library grew to be huge. If devs didn't have the Playstation they would have had to choose between the small and constly format of the N64 and the large and cheaper format of the Saturn.

I think that if the Playstation had never existed that the Saturn would have been the exclusive home of games like Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, and countless others.
