The war is not finish, PlayStation win on last generation, Sony will win again with PlayStation3.

The war is not finished, SNES won last generation and Nintendo will win again with N64.

PlayStation is a fad with no good games and crappy hardware.

 

And that Bush fellow will NEVER win the elections!

Except that, even according to metacritic, the PSOne had better games than the N64.

Yeah well then why did I see my friend's sister making up with his ps3? Explain that Mr.Roland.

I'm not Roland, but my guess is that her brother was busy that night?


Edit: Stillwell got owned quite humorously while trying to own someone else :P




you missed one reason

6. "it will cost 599.99 Dollas" - ken kutaragi

that statement made so much people angry (including me), he just drew a line in front of every one that wanted a ps3, and in it he put a big sign that said "YOU CAN'T HAVE ONE", then nintendo comes out and says, Well we do want you to have fun.
PS3 US$600.00 + US$250.00 = WII is king

The best part is that Rol actually makes good and viable points with this joke, especially 1, 3 and 5 are true imo!

Actually, the best part is that anyone thinks these are good and viable points. Rol is highlighting the absurdity of these ideas, and it's only funny because some people think they aren't absurd.

I suppose I could understand you saying #3 is true, if you changed everything Rol wrote, including changing the phrase "girls dig the Wii" into "Wii targets underserved audiences."

But #1? "[The Wii is popular because] it's the popular thing to buy." Yeah, that explains it.

Or #5? A cheap price can easily sway people to purchase products which they actually don't have any use for at all. Yep, price is an attribute that makes you want something. It certainly isn't just a barrier that keeps you from getting something.



"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."

Satoru Iwata, Nintendo President. Only slightly paraphrased.

Notice that A: I clearly stated and understood that this is a joke thread (there's one every four days from him now, most of them are sad though), and B: at the end of the post I say "in my opinion". I truly am sorry that I haven't conformed to your opinions, let's just agree to disagree in the future concerning these points.



I like how none of the reasons were for gameplay!

This is going to be another one of those flame filled thread started from a joke.



LOL - Rol you are a (evil) genius! You should have Pachter's job. Then again, Pachter's predictions are usually good for a laugh too.



 

i think if anyone else wrote the OP they would be considered trolling against the wii.
