I never seen Kerotan post something truly offensive. And I mean truly offensive. Like comments that promote racism, sexism, violence or mocks/demonize certain sexual preferences. Neither have I seen any comment in which he insults another member. But he may have a few of those. Anyway, from what I can tell, his comments are only seen as offensive from the point of view of the oversensitive fans who can't cope with criticism or edgy humor. Which to me has always seem like a problem with the VGC community itself, all fanbases included. He may be taking advantage of said oversensitiveness but still...

I also have a theory about Rol's posture against Kerotan. I think that Kerotan at some point was able to trigger Rol, while Rol have never been able to do the same with Kerotan. That kind of makes Kerotan the "Alpha Troll" of the site, causing Rol to act all diva trying to get Kerotan out of the way through any means he can. Vivster seems to be fine being number 3, so that's good trollsportsmanship and makes me proud.

Also, I'm definitely not a Sony fan.

In the Purge thread, he was going wild. I believe he did insult Ace.

Yeah I celebrate ps4 succeeding.  The fact it's the only console up gen over gen on its predecessor. I don't celebrate the fact Switch is down on it's predecessors (Wii U/3DS). 

 

And to answer your question a traditional home console selling over 10m this gen would be excellent.  For the Switch to sell over 20m? It's to be expected and the least you'd expect at that. Not only is it a handheld but it's also a home console.  So it has 2 markets to aim for. 

I see. You've set the bar ridiculously low for the PS4 just so you can pretend like it has some sort of victory over Nintendo.

The best-selling Sony console is 23 million, while the best-selling Nintendo console is 33 million. But the PS4 can be 12 million behind that (less than half of the PS2's sales) and still be more impressive unless the Switch gets within 6 million of the best-selling console of all time.

The PS4 is doing much better than the PS3 everywhere else. Why would it be "excellent" to merely pass 10 million? That wouldn't even come close to putting a stop to the decline in home consoles. The Wii and PS3 sold 23 million combined. The Wii U is only at 3 million, so really there ought to be a lot of leftover marketshare. Why should we be content with the PS4 selling the same as the PS3, when that was Sony's worst performance?

You're comparing a console with a handheld. PS4 being ahead of the PS3 when you look at the context of console gaming in Japan is pretty amazing. Also, 27M - that's an odd number to come up with.

If you're going to jump into the conversation, you should at least inform yourself on the context. We're talking about lifetime sales in Japan.

Wii U: 3.3 million lifetime
3DS: 24+ million by year's end
Combined: 27+ million

By the way, Lawlight, you've said numerous times that the handheld market is in decline, which is why we shouldn't expect high sales for the Switch. But now suddenly it's a given that the Switch will do super well because it's a handheld. You just can't stick to a single narrative, can you?

How is the bar ridiculously low when the bar is close to the best selling console of last generation in Japan has sold 12M with the PS3 selling 10M? We've told you multiple times that console sales are in decline in Japan but you chose to compare the PS4 sales to sales of consoles from 2 generations ago.

Handhel market is in decline worldwide but it is steady in Japan. As for why I said you shouldn't expect very high sales for the Switch, it is because Nintendo's console sales have been declining worldwide while their handheld sales have been declining in the west. Please keep that in mind before suggesting that I switch narrative.

Hooliganism hasn't been a bit problem in football in ages. And supporting a football team does not mean you're a hooligan.

Come to the UK... or if you already live here; Stop lying! :P 

I'm looking at the stats from 2014 and 2015 - only 1,873 football related violence for that period and only 16% of which involved violence. Now keep in mind that there's over 27M attendance to EPL matches per season - and those stats include the Championship leagues as well so not just the EPL.

Oh well, I can't really judge him on that.

So it's a battle of Troll Dominance between Rol and Kero?

I bet Ace insulted him first. Personally, I'm have nothing against some old stealth trolling but it has to be backed by facts. That's where Rol and Vivster fall short.

If we're talking about Kero, Rol and Vivster, Vivster would have to be my favourite of the 3, with Kero being 3rd.
