Just a few problems with what you say:

1) most consoles these days have average launch games, not just the 360.
2) ms HAS made good inhouse games. FORZA ring a bell?
3) as much as you blame MS about the SE situation, truth is SE are intelligent enough to make up their own mind. You can't blame MS when companies chose to agree working with MS for whichever reason.
3) you forgot to mention the millions of PS2s that died last gen. Similar to RROD but no 3year extended warranties!
4)halo was fun for the same reason goldeneye multiplayer was hailed king- it's not about simple minded people, it's about understanding. You clearly lack understanding. I for example loved open world complex games, but now I work, I have responsibilities and since I live on my own, I got to cook, clean etc. I do not have the time to play big complex games and when I do, sometimes I just want to pick something up and enjoy it without any hassle of having to level up, collect a whole load of shit etc.
5) do you understand it is not marketing alone which helps sell the 360? It is a combination of things!
I.E the much loved and respected XBL, Halo franchise, Forza and PGR franchise, price, Geow, Fable, Ninja Gaiden and the fact in released 1-1.5 years before its competitors and during which time it built a decent library of games.

So you hate marketing? You hate coca cola? You hate films? You hate the Wii for its heavy advertising on launch? You hate McDonalds?

Every company out there has a right to advertise including MS. You don't trust MS, that's fine since it is your opinion, but then you don't go posting on a forum made up by individuals who love gaming. Your opinion has so many flaws, it is an open invitation for people to rip it apart and throw it back at you. There are opinions and facts, my friend, you have to learn the difference.


1. NES, SNES, N64, WII, PS1 have more than average launch games.

2. Ok, sorry.

3. Never heard of that. never read about the problem. Never had friends with the problem. And remember the word NEXT-       GEN.

4. Great. There is a save option on complex games. I`ve never said simplicity is bad.

5. Ok, car games. I`ve never understood them. There are probably many good car games out there, but those who loves         cars...well I can`t say anymore, I`m sure to be banned then.

Yes, I hate Coca Cola. Yes, I think marketing can fool anyone into buying anything. And, yes I hate mcdonalds. And yes it`s alowed to do marketing, but not lie. In us I should`ve sued ms for lying.

Give him a break, at least he removed the part where he said that he "HATES americans". :)

LOL, did he originally have that in there? The dude is obsessed with that topic. He got banned in approximately his first post for ragging on Americans. And look at his sig... oh, how I wonder what ********* could mean!?

Try to make your joke threads funny next time man. People on this site take everything way to seriously, and you're gonna get flamed to hell.

One thing I don't understand though: How the hell does a war have anything to do with Microsoft making Windows more user-friendly? You must have gotten your thoughts mixed up or something.

If people flame me, then surely I was right when I call them simple gamers, right?

Hunting down pirates when the result is really bad. That`s why I used the war as an example.

 

I'm just wondering what your definition of simple is.

Well Norway then. But I went by whats in your profile sorry about that.

If you didn't think being simple was a negative thing then you wouldn't be associating simple with why you wouldn't support microsoft. Its clear you either equate simplicity with stupidity or give it a negative connotation.

Don't shift gears after making strong statements.

 

 If you understand...or forget it. If you`ve read a couple of books, I`m sure you`d see that I`ve never changed the gear. Forget about the grammar, but try to read and not judge after first view. Simplicity=simple. Simple=easy. Easy=good. Complex=hard. But when something is complex, is it more rewarding? For someone probably.

^ well for 1. Wii is the only MODERN system. N64 had ONE more than average launch game. What were PS1s launch games (I literrally forget, this isn't a bash, I'd like feedback)

Dreamcast should be on that list.

and I hate Coca-Cola too :^)

If I boycotted every company that did something to annoy me, there would be no products left that I could buy.

You may need time to let companies regain you trust, buy boycotting a company forever is kind of silly.

I hate Metal Gear as much as you hate Americans. It is the opposite of fun and well-written. The very thought of playing it is anathema to me.
