MikeB said: @ gameman Sony's older demographic is probably why it will have a shorter life than the Xbox 360. I don't think so, I think gamers are getting older (because our parents and grandparents did not grow up with video games, they are still watching movies though). As the PS3 entry pricing drops, I expect the PS3 to start to feast more on the XBox 360's teen market with a slimline console. Current teens can always graduate towards a PS3. I think neither console stands a real chance against Nintendo regarding preteens, nomatter how much the 360's pricing drops. It's just not a preteen appealing console (and I think parents prefer their preteen kids to own a console which is dominated by cute gaming).

 

 I think current teens are gonna stay with the Xbox the same way Teens from the PS1 days stuck with Sony all these years. Start when their young and they stay with you forever. Sony's older demographic is also why there has been ZERO cultural movements from their games like Mario Kart, Halo 3, or Gears of War. It takes kids and teens to start a movement

Not only do I admit I am wrong when I am pointed to factual conflicting information, I thank the person for correcting me (if done politely of course). There are examples of this here on VGChartz.



It does not even per se imply a preference. For example someone lacks the money to buy a preferred console (or they aren't allowed to get certain types of games, etc). IMO this is far more true for kids and teens than it is for adults.



This Microsoft published game is also available for the PC (and normally would be on the PS3 as well, if not published by Microsoft, they use cross platform middleware).



So finally tell us who you are and by which nicknames you go onto other forums. Where's the pudding?

That is hardly the prevailing sentiment of your average behavior on any board you are at or have been banned from and you know it.  All these boards are full of people saying the exact same thing about you in this regard *over years*.  Your strategy, instead of admitting mistakes has been to drag many of those (and unrelated) folks through the mud here.  Take for instance Wegster, a mod at amigaworld.net.  As well as all your conspiracy theories about folks out to get you from OSnews, from Moo, from Amiga.org, from Neogaf, from ANN, from Wrongplanet, from Genesi, from Morphzone, etc etc.  And god knows what other places there might be in Dutch that I have not come across yet.

Again you keep trying to drag PC gaming into this.  You were saying that PS3 is the console of mature gamers.  The point is that if you are a mature gamer into RPGs like that the Xbox360 is much more attractive between Mass Effect being an option and not on PS3.  Fallout 3 having full content on Xbox 360 and not on PS3. etc.  The fact that its also on PC has nothing to do with a comparison of Xbox vs PS3 and which is the better system *of those two* for mature console gamers.  *And* Mass Effect was not always a PC title.  In fact Mass Effect was the reason I got an Xbox 360 in the first place.  And others got the console for that game as well back then.

Mike, at $400 the PS3 is still expensive for most adults.  And many adults are fine with regular DVD and they want access to the most games that would interest their age group as well as where most of their friends already are for online.  For most of us that keeps pointing us adults to the Xbox 360 primarily.  If you are really into gaming above and beyond like me then you find a way to work your way to additionally getting a PS3 at some point like I did.  The more exclusives that PS3 can score going forward the more that might change over time.  But revisionist history is not going to help you here.

As I already told you, I am not banned anywhere, I have no abuse reports anywhere, I was never banned anywhere in the past.  Thats you, not me.  And no I am not someone from your storied past of strife at Neogaf or Moo or OSNews or ANN.  Like I said already I saw your craziness on amigaworld.net and started reading the fascinating train wreck of history from site to site after that.  I must say for a troll you are most bold to keep the same nick from site to site, when your history is then so trackable.  But you seem to get off on how long you can last on a board, and like I said, you are a crafty troll no doubt.  I'm not going to share any other nick I might go by because the last thing I'd want is for other boards to suffer from your trying to go to them to troll as well in some misguided attempt to "get back at me".

 

Sounds like you're just obsessed with Mike B. Stalker alert!

LOL!  Hey the jemcon thing was a joke....honest! 

 

EDIT:  Megadude had a jem avatar at the time of this writing, which he has now just changed.  (In case anyone is confused as to what jem has to do with Megadude).

@ Ausfalcon

Some comments regarding MorphOS and AmigaOS may have upset some fans. I still stick by those comments. Some comments regarding PS3 and XBox 360 may have upset some 360 fans. I still stick to those too, in general I may well end up being correct from the large perspective regarding my opinions, just like with regard to many past Amiga related comments and opinions.

Such is life, move on and no not everyone thinks like you. I received plenty of emails and PMs from people in support of what I was writing.





I think I have some clues whom you may be. And you're recently posting with different anonymous nicks on Moobunny. Isn't that a bit hypocritical considering your past complaints against me? What are you afraid of?

And how pray tell does this explain the sig campaign a multi-platform (including PS3) user like nightsurge started here?  Or the fact that I'm a PS3 user and Sony shareholder?  I mean I could decide to just be really greedy and relish that your near constant BS is helping to enrich the company I part own.   This continual attempt at painting all your repeating issues in so many places on MOS and Xbox 360 users is just sad.  It doesn't pass the most basic muster.  It makes no logical sense. You have folks on both sides of the aisle in both cases who also have called you out continually on the trolling.  Are these PS3 and AOS people faking what systems they use over the years?  Are they MOS/Xbox "double-agents"???  LOL.

 

Moobunny shows the ip address of posters.  I am hardly all the folks on Moo Bunny whose ips trace back to muliple countries and who have talked about you there recently.  You already accused me of being the user Guiding Light here which did not prove to be true.

 

My complaints against you are your trolling.  Something people were complaining about at all these places long before I ever read at them or posted at them.  Now, others have complained in the past that you used to pretend to be other folks at Moo Bunny (because you kept showing up as different sock puppets from the same ip was the claim).  But thats not something I've accused you of.  So I see no hypocrisy in not sharing what single id I might use at any board you might know.  And as I already said, god knows other boards I might be on don't need the likes of you at them, I would not want to be the cause of you showing up at any of them.

@ Ausfalcon

You have trouble reading Mr Morris, if you read more carefully I asked who you and Guilding Light are. What followed was your own comment stating that you are not Guilding Light.

I am sorry, I honestly think you should see a doctor. Enthusiasm for a console or operating system is one thing and can be a great fun hobby to support, but honestly signing up here and doing what you're doing is beyond healthy. Please take my advise and explain to the doctor the issues you have with me.

Which part is not healthy?  Me enjoying other threads you are not in (or the occasional ones where you are not trolling)?  Me enjoying adding a bunch of games and box art to the database?  It more sounds like you are dreading that yet another person is going to call you out when you talk crap here.  I have to guess you are just pissed I dug up a bunch of stuff from your past that the locals here were unaware of previously.  But its not like people had not come to the same exact conslusions already here or at places like Neogaf that I had never been as a user.

I'm not the one with an obession for trying to convince the world that I am right about one system over another (Amiga OS then, PS3 now).  I enjoy all three game systems out now.  (Just as I enjoy all the flavors of Amiga.) And certainly comparing our game collections its pretty easy to see which of us has an obesssion/fetish for one system over another and its not me.  They all have strengths and weaknesses.  I find it fun talking about them honestly.  You prefer other methods of "conversation".

I've looked back at what you wrote about Guidinglight and me.  In retrospect and fairness I suppose it can be read two ways.  You said "and maybe Guiding Light too".  But I'll take you at your word out of courtesy that you meant what you say now rather than how it reads to me.

As for "Mr Morris", care to explain where that is coming from or to whom it refers?
