Wow this thread has turned out great. The new war cry of the Sony Trolls, "Nintendo is mass producing games for casual gamers and killing the market!" Yeah, how dare Nintendo ignore the minority of gamers, oh wait, they aren't. Funny how no matter how deep the shit gets for Sony we all get the excuse that, "It's only the first year, give it a break", yet god forbid the Wii have a slow start like the DS did.

You wanna know what the real problem with Nintendo is here? THAT IT'S NAME ISN'T SONY!!! There's nothing Nintendo could do that you wouldn't spit on for the sake of saying Sony could've, is or has done it better. Nintendo could give you everything you've ever wanted in gaming and you'd still whine. Nintendo could have the most hardcore line up of games in the existence of any console and you'd still call it kiddy crap. God forbid Nintendo dedicate any % of its market towards anything in the way of unconventional audiences like children or girls, I mean if they're not putting their entire fortune into making FPSs, RPGs and Racing games then they might as well not exist. Right? Its amazing how the PS3 can come out with nothing but the same amount of crap during this same period of time and everyone just ignores it looking to the future instead and singing the praises of games not comming out for another year, but no... We can't afford Nintendo the slightest bit of faith that games might actually still keep coming out for it after December 31 2007. Obviously if this is the way Nintendo is now, that's the way its going to be forever. God such brilliant market analysis.

You are being sexist by saying that kids and girls don't like those game types.  As a kid I loved RPGs, racing games, and FPSs on the PC.

You are the one that is constantly attacking.  It's all you do.

I never said the PS3 has low loading times! Damn't Windbane, if you actually bothered to read what the person said before typing maybe you wouldn't end up in so many damn arguments.

Oh right, you made up a statistic about how 1/3rd of PS3 data is redundant.  Which would still leave plenty of extra space anyway.  Why do they have redundant data?  Oh yeah, because you said otherwise they would have slow loading times.

Am I missing something there?  But hey, argue on the other thread about it...or are you trying to get both threads locked?

Yes, I'm obviously being sexist against children, brilliant counter. I'll remember that one next time anyone tries to claim Nintendo is kiddy crap. And yeah obviously i'm the antagonist here, because it wasn't you who attacked me in the John Carmack thread, it wasn't you who attacked me in the Blu-Ray thread, its not you who picks the fights at all, its obviously me who's the problem here. Yeah, I think I'm gonna report this thread now.

Sexist and ageist, obviously. Should I seperate those 2 into 2 paragraphs so you understand? I also know many girls that like those game types. Nice try, though.

Edit:  And btw, why do you assume I'm a guy?  Whatever.

The whole purpose of redundant data is to prevent longer loading times, and I wasn't the person who first said it, nor am I in the minority in that consensus, furthermore, I said it needed redundant data to avoid slower loading times, not that it was slower. Learn to read. If I can get both threads locked that would be quite an achievement to be honest as I wouldn't have to bother seeing them on the main page anymore.

If anything you say is true, then why is there the stigma of kiddy crap? In this pathetic counter you've basically turned against everything Sony trolls believe in. Also I'm bemused that this is the only point you could think to counter in that whole tyrade? Why not adress the rest of it?

The only developer to state that achieved load times twice as fast than the 360 version.  How?  Using the hard drive.  

You'll notice the Wii doesn't have a hard drive either.

If you start addressing everything I say to you, then I'll respond to the rest of what you say up there.  You have yet to acknowledge that DL DVDs read slower than blu-ray.
