Chubear said: No dude, not brave at all. Brave would mean me sticking my neck on the line in belief that it won't be hacked off. I'm afraid I'm not so brave at all. My statements don't come from some act of bravado but just a pattern I see plain as day that others, oddly enough, don't see. See, there are people that make a good living from watching patterns develop in varied industrial fields. These guys (if they're good) can see + or - patterns and inform their clients on their findings. Some are very good at it and see these patterns plain as day, others are OK at it but most people really suck at it thus the need for financial industry analysts. I wish I could lead you to believe I have gonads of a Bull but in actuality it's just that I see clear as day. Unles something catastrophic happens in the industry, Sony's console will be on top for this gen yet again. The only difference I see is the Nintendo beating out MCs console this time round.

 First off, that is how your post is supposed to look ...

iF i StArTeD tO wRiTe LiKe ThIs It wOuLd gEt AnNoYiNg QuIcKlY ... so pleas don't write all in bold

Now, unless you can explain how a company can produce the most popular console in a generation without third party support I don't see how Sony can match previous success. As I have said before when you discount launch hype and the holiday season the PS3 has sold about 1 Million units, if they're lucky they will have sold 6 Million units world wide by the end of 2007; and with a price cut Sony may get to 14 Million by the end of 2008. If you look how low these numbers really are third party developers will have a difficult time justifying why they would spend 2 to 4 times as much to develop a game for the PS3 and XBox 360 when the Wii outsells them both combined.

FAQ - HOW TO REMOVE A TABLE WITH TEXT?

1.) left click on the table with unwanted quoted text

2.) localize a scissors (below bold button)

3.) there is a row of buttons right below scissors (cut) concerning tables

4.) left click sixth button from left (Delete row)

5.) THAT'S IT ! YOU'VE JUST REMOVED THIS ANNOYING TABLE !

Edit:

and yes this bold is annoying as hell... 

BenKenobi88 said: 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.

1) It's a little unfair that you'd single out my "ass" comment but ignore the fact that someone initially called me an idiot that I responded to but I guess that would defeat your purpose.

2)Cause you asked "kindly" does not mean I have to do as you "ask". If it's not against this forums rules and isn't an option, you have no right to 'ask" me to not bold my posts. You have a choice to either read the post or ignore it.

3)Bold fonts are NOTHING like writing in capital letters don't even try making that comparison.

4) Courtesy and doing want you WANT are two very different things. Please, you guys are making too big a deal about this, I'm not even on this forum much to be considered as this is the one of the only topics I have multiple posts in.

Unles something catastrophic happens in the industry, Sony's console will be on top for this gen yet again. The only difference I see is the Nintendo beating out MCs console this time round. Catastrophic like: $600 price point Fading interest and faith in the playstation brand Bluray doesn't become the successor of the DVD Shrinking exclusive 3rd party support Shrinking 3rd party support Japan is lost to Nintendo right from the beginning America is lost to Microsoft and Nintendo right from the beginning Europe is lost to Nintendo right from the beginning being outsold weekly worldwide by the 360 and Wii on a constant basis delayed 1st/2nd party games Games that don't live up to the hype their trailers created Bad PR Total loss of appeal to casual gamers Just to name a few things. Do you see them clear as day? Unless a miracle happens, Sony's console won't be on top of this gen.

No, that's not what I meant.

1) If you wrote like this "iF i StArTeD tO wRiTe LiKe ThIs It wOuLd gEt AnNoYiNg QuIcKlY" and I found it annoying I just wouldn't bother reading your posts but I wouldn't cry out "BANN HIM!" either cause that would be silly on my part.

2)I see the hostility towards my opinions here so I'll only state my opinions and maybe at times explain them but I won't get too in depth on this forum as I don't feel this is the type of forum where you could have a heated discussion and move on with out fear of being called for a bann.

I've stated my opinions and others have too so I move on 'till I see something that sparks my interest as to respond.

Now, unless you can explain how a company can produce the most popular console in a generation without third party support I don't see how Sony can match previous success.

==> Sony possess third party ... as u like the present, i would say that this is nintendo that lake of third party right now (even if their are trying to get some)

As I have said before when you discount launch hype and the holiday season the PS3 has sold about 1 Million units, if they're lucky they will have sold 6 Million units world wide by the end of 2007; and with a price cut Sony may get to 14 Million by the end of 2008.

==> if u say
whatever, I think that
personnaly, i dont know, i dont want to make such prediction about numbers
wait&see

If you look how low these numbers really are third party developers will have a difficult time justifying why they would spend 2 to 4 times as much to develop a game for the PS3 and XBox 360 when the Wii outsells them both combined.

=> right, but this is not sure than people continue to buy wii
wii is restricted technologically as PS3/Xbox360 are restricted by their paddle
we are talking about portable console were graphism is not important, at leas tnot the most important
we are talking about "fixed" console that are suppose to give us lot of fun and/or lot of emotion/immersion (Xbox360/PS3)
Wii is able to give us fun with her innovating controler but for the emotion it will be difficuklt to compete with PS3/Xbox360
==> do you think Assassin creed or bioshock can be made on wii ?
of course they can be made wii, BUT, you will lose a lot of things ...

Chubear said:   Of all the console the PS3 is the only one that trully has a huge tool base to create dreams and this is what it's always been about.

Ok. I was reading your posts with a bit of seriousity, but now you have just proven to be an insane fanboy :lol:.

@ Chubear

... why did you remove this statemant about rat's ass? Pussy...

Don't care?.. so there is no problem. Just fuck off...

 

This whole 'bold' discussion reminds me of the blink tags of yesteryears.

Same arguments from both sides too.
