In a way you are right

but the interest of BOLD is to use it on1 word and to keep the others words in normal (not bold) to underlign the word that is BOLD.

and i m pretty sure that, if we make a vote, +80% of the forumer will prefer than u dont use the BOLD option (at least like u do)



Time to Work !

 Well first off Nintendo has always taken risks. Sony is the company that hasn't. Come on man, Nintendo developed the analog stick, shoulder buttons, rumble pack, the wave bird. all ideas the Sony later intergrated within their controls. the only thing they added to my knowledge was the second analog stick. Sony's philosophy in alot of ways is the same as Microsoft, it's dump enough money on something and your bound to win, it's the same with a rich politician. They dumped money on 3rd parties, they lost money on an advanced console just to get people to buy in. they bought developers left and right.

I believe the philosophy that helped generate success for the ps1 and 2 is now the philosophy that will work for the Wii, it's all about expanding your audience. They showed adds with older guys playing the playstation, created more mature games, talked about husbands wanting it as an anniversary gift. It was all very successful, and they had the right relationships with the right 3rd parties to make that happen, heck rockstar and Square alone made alot of things happen. Yet it's now the Wii that created an image that appeals to new markets. The ps3 might have been built to be very powerful and last a long time in the market, but without initial success it's hard to change a gamers perception. In fact if you study business and products its almost impossible to sell poorly and then a year later magically sell amazing. 

Developers ride them because they've had the leading console for two generations and they'ved dumped money on all these guys. Now Microsoft is doing that too, and Microsoft and Nintendo have much bigger bases. Tell me how do you convince someone to bring their biggest franchise exclusively to the smallest user base this gen? You don't. Thats why they lost an exclusive for GTA, and any version of the new Dragon Quest. That's why Gundam Musou is getting released on the x360 in America too, they can't ignore it's base here in the states. So as time goes by if Sony's internal efforts don't do alot to start generating huge sales, alot of 3rd party Sony exclusives will either be timed, or launched along with the 360. 

and you can't ignore initial sales of the ps3, and keep pretending along with many PS fans that the 1,2 sold poorly in their first year, which is a huge misconception. ps2 blew the Dreamcast and Gamecube out of the water. PS beat the N64, and didn't have any competition from MS until way late in the game, now for the first time ever sony is in last place they have the disadvantages on all acounts. So I just don't see them winning. And if you think about it it's alot like their psp business model the umd = blu-ray graphics over ingenuity(psp=good graphics, ds=touch screen, ps3=good graphics, Wii=motion control) You can argue that it's a whole other battle for consoles but when the numbers are backing the parellel, it's a tough argement to make. 

About 360, what's so bad about it? You get great graphics for that price, tons of great exclusives, heck Halo 3, Mass Effect, Too Human, Alan Wake are all enough for me. Never mind Splinter Cell: Conviction, GTA(with extra content) Banjo-Kazooie, Blue Dragon, Lost Odeyessy, and plenty of other titles too. I don't see why most hardcore games wouldn't pick up a 360. 


Well it is you view on the state of the gaming industry scene and though I thoroughly disagree with your points it will be interesting, none-the-less, to see if you're right. - Taliho for now ol' bean.

just some point :

to Chubea,
plz stop the mass BOLD in your post
or i m pretty sure that someone will ban u
and i'm sure we both know that i will be stupid be banned for some "bolded post"....


Now that would be the utmost height of stupidity to bann a poster for using an availible option in the forums post tabs. If it's such a bother (as I have no idea how it could be) then the option should be taken off. The reason these options exist is for poster to have the chance to plant certain marks of individuality. If my bolding means insults and banns then hey, so be it but I have no idea how having a bold font warrants such behaviour but hey if it pleases the MODs, do what you feel you must.


 At least give a good reason and justify your usage of it...


Uh? why?

bye bye

lol, whatever dude. If you can't take your own medicine then do what you want dude. Your banns don't mean jack to me. I know I haven't in any way disrupted these forums in anyway and if stating my opinions is viewed as offensive on this forum then oh bloody well. later lol

No my friend. Just because that's how you use that particular feature doesn't mean that that's how everyone else should use it. Now if people want to highlight their texts in blue or green and it's an option then they should without fear ofbeing condemned. If there is no such rule for the forum stickied or the option for such features were removed or individuals were using feature to spam and disrupt then I'd understand but to say "hey, I don't like the way you use capital letters in YOUR posts" or similar, is a little retarded... especially when the forum has no such rule. 



Chubear, I see no reason for you to get banned. The use of bold letters is allowed, it's just EXTREMELY ANNOYING when you bold E V E R Y  S I N G L E word you post.

It would be a courtesy on your part to stop, not a necessity. Other than that, enjoy.

Yeah, chubear.  I don't think you should get banned, but it is pretty irritating.  How would you like it if evevything I posted was in this god awful colour that was impossible to read without getting pissed off about it?

If you can't read it, just highlight it...

I know a number of people will be looking at this and saying the same thing you are but in reality, this isn't even close to last hope for Sony in Japan. I'll say this, and please anyone who dares, save my quote and display it all over the net if I'm wrong (but I know I'm not).

Hey Chubear,

Do us a favour and avoid bolding entire posts. The primary purpose of bold is to highlight selected phrases and statements within a post - not the entire post. We don't want bolding wars starting - next everyone will be using larger bolded fonts.

PS - I now seem to be a moderator... so look out everyone! :)

...

Now I have seen ALL the posts in bold... please avoid it, and or I will consider a short ban - and will also ask ioi to update the forum rules. Its about as annoying AS POSTING ENTIRE POSTS IN CAPS TO GET MORE ATTENTION.

I agree with others, here Chubear.

I'm not threatening to ban you or anything, at least not for the bold words. Perhaps for attacking others, calling them asses and such, but not for the bold words.

I did ask you kindly in a thread to stop boldening your letters. It's just common internet courtesy. It's like stating that your words are important than others'. Bold is used for single words or perhaps quotes...it's pretty annoying to see the whole post in bold.

It's almost on par with TYPING IN ALL CAPS SO IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE SHOUTING. That last sentence probably made me sound like an ass, because it was in all caps. The same goes for the all-bold posts.

Just for courtesy. Please just type in normal letter size.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
