I am sorry if sounded so brash, just tried to say my humble opinion. |
Opinions aren't facts. The only reason I bothered to read your thread was because it promised "unbiased facts about the nextgen". It didn't seem unbiased. They weren't really facts. And it talked more about pastgen than nextgen. I guess your name doesn't have to start with the letter "S" to exaggerate. "Past performance is no guarantee of future results": it's legally required on every prospectus. freedquaker said:

And that's really the bottom line of your thread. You didn't have to write all that other stuff. |
Ok lets see what I said in titles and whether or not they are unbiased facts...
Fact 1 : High Price Consoles never win!
That is an unbiased fact. PS2 was $400 at launch but this price dropped when other consoles were launched. PS1 was cheaper than Saturn at launch and cheaper than N64 when it was launched.
Fact 2 : Sony's Technical Specs are always vastly exaggerated and Claims Never Come True!
Yes this is exactly what happened so far and it is a well known phenomenon. Please read out all the promises made before console launches and compare with the facts.
Fact 3 : Always the Weakest Console wins!
This is a fact (except for SNES thanks to Bundled Graphics Chip)
Fact 4 : Sony is Notorious for the LENGHTY LOADING TIMES.
This is also a fact!
Fact 5 : PS3 has a greater speed as potential.
This is also true as "potential" according to almost every review so far.
Fact 6 : Xbox360 has More Memory and a Better Memory Structure.
This is also confirmed by both parties (Sony and MS) so remains a fact!
Fact 7 : You cant win globally if you fail in either of those two markets, Japan and America.
This is how it always happened and is thus a fact!
Fact 8 : Wii is picking up and gonna take the lead soon.
Okay, the "picking up" part is a fact and "gonna take the lead soon" part is extremely likely and almost a fact.
Fact 9 : PS3 sales are far from building a momentum.
This is also a fact that everyone knows that its far from building a momentum, at least now, and unless something very unusual happens this year.
So for God's sake, which one is NOT an unbiased fact.
Also...
I live in Europe and Europe is not a small market but bigger than Japan but because its highly fragmented and heteregenous consisting of many small markets, its not very conclusive in the global trends.
1 Euro is about 1.3 Dollars but because of transaction costs, smaller elasticity and some other economical issues, Consoles and their games tend to be more expensive here (600 Euro instead of $600 and usually even more).
