OP: Wow so 360 is double the price and it sells at a similar rate as the PS3. PS3 is pretty pathetic then. Hey by your standard its the cheapest console if you include a blu ray for the Wii. So why is PS3 still in last placce?

 

No the 360 doesnt sell better than the PS3. The PS3 is behind simply becuz of the head start 360 had. And no, using Wii as proof that PS3 should be selling just as good is not a valid point to make so dont even. the PS3 is selling better than the 360 since the begining of this Year. It is slowly but surely gaining on it. The real question is y is something that was out for a whole year before the competition pailing in comparison to their sales?

See.....This is exactly what I was talking about, ignorant and oblivious.

Also, technically, since you are throwing everythign including the kitchen sink in to the 360 price, shouldn't you include the price of upgrading the person's DVD collection to Blu-Ray disks, since the blu-ray player is pointless without blu-ray movies to play?

 


The entire OP is mostly a straw-man. It's easy to marginalize one side of the argument when you don't have someone representing the opposite view.

 

And the argument is OBVIOUSLY not one sided, that would entail I was talking to myself (I stopped that yrs ago). My friend represented 360 in that instance, he just did it pretty poorly. Even If I let my co worker rep the other side , they cant out Wit me anyway and they know it. The simple truth is there is little to validate the purchase in most consumers eyes and the only thing steering them to it is the PS3's enitial price tag...

 

 I sure hope they can outspell you...

Look! Up there, in the sky!

No! It's a CrazzyMan!

So you work at GS at night and older male and female come buying Wiis for their kids? And since Wii sells the most, parents and grandparent apparently tend to "hang out" at night pretty often. As a parent myself, i can assure you, we don't do that anymore.
As what it comes to your OP, it was nothing but BS.

You remind me of Chad Vader.

Man, I forgot how fast these threads fill up >_<

Any way, as a responsible employee, you should have asked the consumer what their interests were, which genres they liked, what extra features they wanted, if BC was important, if online was important, how much they are willing to spend, etc.

The consumer listening to you say "The PS3 R0x0rz" is just as stupid as them listening to your friend. When people come in to a store like Gamestop, they expect a knowledgeable representative who will give them solid advice, not a brand loyalist pitching a system harder than Lobyists to a politician.

You are just doing your small part to make the industry, and perception thereof, that much crappier.

Hooray.

 

What are u babbling about? I think alot of u commenting on my post are severly brain damaged becuz when in that whole converstation did I mis represent either the PS3 or Xbox360.

I simply told it how it was. And in actuality the customer was simply eavesdropping on the convo me and my friend were having and made judgement apon that. And for future reference when ever a customer does ask me which is better I give full work on pros and cons of all the systems. And I also usually get another employee to give the person a different spin seeing as some will try to say my reasoning is "WARPED". Yet no one can deny and say I was not telling the TRUTH. If the person says they are not trying to spend a heap of money and dont care for all the extra doo dads, I elliminate the PS3 from the choice list. So I kno I am fair when It comes to explaining the ups and downs of gaming.

 

And no where in my OP did I say anything as Fanboyish as "PSY ROCKS! BUY THAT!"....

peace

 

I'm not even sure where to begin.

First, you say that you're going to school for game design, yet I'm convinced that someone with such terrible English could never pass high school, let alone possess the grades required to make it into anything other than some throwaway correspondence course. On the contrary; your insistence on AOL-speak makes you sound like a fifteen year old with some sort of compulsive lying disorder. In addition, anyone who actually uses AOL-speak in a non-ironic fashion has no right to comment on someone being "severely brain damaged;" if you're over eighteen and you still use words like "u" or "ppl," you leave me with no choice but to assume that you, yourself, were dropped on your head one too many times as a child.

In addition, you have no "game intellect." You work at bloody Gamestop. A monkey with a booklet of pre-order forms duct-taped to its hand could do the job that you do, and probably with greater efficiency - sure, it'd occasionally fling its poo around, but at the very least it wouldn't waste its time bantering about with its friends while on the job. You apparently came in here hoping to "own" us, but instead, you ended up making yourself look like an unprofessional dork - a perception only magnified by the fact that you're apparently so full of yourself that you thought that we would ever be even the least bit interested in your stupid little (most likely made-up) straw-man up there. The only reason why this thread has so many posts, in fact, is because it's full of people trying to point out how wrong you are.

But, of course, you won't listen to anybody in this thread. After all, you're a beautiful, unique little flower who works at GAMESTOP, and who's going to school for GAME DESIGN. Far be it for us unwashed masses to question your MASSIVE GAMING INTELLECT.

So, to sum up: You are not special. You do not know more than us about games or gaming. You suck at arguing and spelling. Get a real job and a real degree, then come back to us and maybe, just maybe, we'll listen.

But don't count on it.

 

 

EDIT:

"Yet I must advize you to come back with something stronger than 1 misspelled word...."

Oh, the irony.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

WOW! you have proven yourself to be pretty dense and petty. Enitial=Initial obviously, and that is the only thing I spelled wrong on accident. I tend to type pretty fast and don't bothe with the details seeing as this is ONLY ONLINE not some kind of english class. Who goes online to simply try and correct someone's english? Maybe you did that because you have no more valid arguments to present. You are completely out of amunition and are just looking for some attention now.

Ok, thats fine. Yet I must advize you to come back with something stronger than 1 misspelled word....

  • these games are and foreever will be exclusive to Wii and Nintendo yet they are constant rehashes of the same thing (Name some qaulity wii titles that do not have Mario anywhere in it, or better yet find one that just dont have his name in the title)


Okay.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Sonic and the Secret Rings, Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Has Mario in it, but personally I think it should pass anyway since he isn't the center of it).

 

And that's just counting exclusives... Besides RE4 of course, which is the best version of it.

Actually, I posted 2 very valid arguments prior (which you ignored) and was merely commenting on the irony of you proclaiming your wit when you are not even capable of using your spoken language properly.  If you can't comprehend irony (or more likely, haven't learned that in English class yet) then I am sorry, and I can't help you grasp the subtlety.

@Hawk

Here is victim number 2 of the retard club.

Ok, ppl on this board have seemingly run out of any real argumentative material and resort to pointing out grammatical and spelling errors in my posts. If that is the way u wish to play it so be it but I'm just going to shoot u down from ur high hopes yet again...

So what, I use AOL lingo online, but then again, its not really AOL language, its interweb lingo in general. Unless I am not aware of some kind of global phenomenon THIS IS THE INTERWEB!!! So I use corresponding language . You apparently know what "U" and "PPL" mean so what is the real issue? It is the same as when we abbreviate Game names on forums. GOW(God of War),MS(Microsoft),OP(original Poster) are all interweb speak that you wouldn't normally use in real life of course but this is not exactly "Real Life" now is it? And I never pretended to know more than everyone else, but I do apparently know more than you bucuz sum of u repeatedly come at me with nuances that are completely off topic.

Secondly you insult my job, like i really care. It is just something I do on the side to make a little money (and for the discount). Im in school for game design so having access to millions of games doesnt hurt. It is not the best of jobs in the world but it does give me little insight on the gaming world that folk such as urself do not have access too. You wouldnt walk up to Bill Gates and pretend to kno more about Windows and PCs than him simply becuz u have one.
