Microsoft is just as kiddy as Sony.

Awesome?


1) Sony's Gran Turismo is rated E because there isnt blood or swearing or drug use in it...

Um, no duh. That's what makes it kiddy. Only little tykes aren't man enough to handle the testosterone of blood, cussing, and blow. Hence, kiddy.


2) Sony has Little Big Planet and Microsoft has Viva Pinata ... Both are childish games.

And which company decided to make its kiddy icon its new, official mascot? Oh that's right, it was Sony.



3) Sony isnt abbandoning hardcore gamers at all, they are trying to get a wider gaming audience, and since they already have so many hardcore games they want to get other types of games that appeal to others. Sony doesnt like to milk franchises like the other companies, so they come up with new ideas and new games instead of having the same type of games every generation (nintendo).

"We're not abandoning you, we're just playing the field and seeing if we can do better. Oh, and those games we know you like? Yeah, we're not making those anymore, hint hint."

Totally not abandoning us hardcore.



4) The face buttons on an Xbox controller are all colourful, and kids like colourful stuff.

So Microsoft's target audience is also the pre-teens. But at least they're aiming for the kindergarten-and-up crowd.



5) Sony has tons of bundles for PSP. They have 1 for everykind of gamer.

"This one with Hannah Montana is for little Mandy, this one with Madden is so little Tommy can pretend he's going to be the next Brady when he grows up, and this one with Rock Band is for our family's future drummer, baby Robby. He's so adorable when he thinks he's playing music..."

HOLY SHIT!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!! This post CAN NOT BE MORE wrong.

Let's start:

1.Just because game doesn't have blood in it doesn't mean its not hardcore. Example: Devil May Cry and Street Fighter

2.Give me the link where it says Sackboy is Sony's OFFICIAL MASCOT.

3.Lets look at games the kiddie company Sony gave us/is giving us: Uncharted 2 (with all the shooting, blood and war criminals) MAG ( 256 players shooting at each other, what's so hardcore about it?) God Of War III ( the kiddiest game ever, no need to say anything) KIllzone 2 ( rated E )

Now lets looks at some games awesome hardcore games Nintendo gave/is giving us:

Wii Sports RESORT (PURE HARDCORE CARNAGE)

Wii Fit PLUS (OMG this is soo going to be 18+)

Wii Music (no comment)

And of course Mario: (jump on mushroom, kill the turtle,save the princes, jump on mushroom,kill the turtle,save the princes,jum on mushroom, kill the turtle,save the princes...)

5.Some PSP bundles i found on internet and GameStop:

God Of War Chains of Olympus

Ratchet & Clank

Star Wars Battlefront

Resistance:Retribution

Tekken: Dark Resurection

...

*clap* and you can say the same thing about the 360 but who always thinks that the least hardcore and kiddy console is and will always be is the wii with little to no gta or bloody games compared to the others so why post this

Gta is boring and repetitive. There, I said it. Since when does a bloody game mean hardcore anyway? Blood is for little kids... Mature people develop a different taste in gaming that doesn't revolve around blood only. You'll understand once you graduate(Or turn 30, what ever happens first)

 

I'm going to let you in on a little secret... Super Mario galaxy is the most hardcore game ever made. It insults all the buyers of being gay(well, it's only an insult if you're not gay) Tell me one game that is more hardcore then that please?

 

Ps: Buy some sarcasm detectors that aren't made by Microsoft.

Excuse me but how do you some of you guys find this funny? Or is it that I never read Rolstoppable threads to figure out if this is a joke thread or not.

=(

Psh, Street Fighter was a "fighting" game for wusses. Nintendo didn't even have to censor it on its systems. But Mortal Kombat? Now that's Hardkore.

2.Give me the link where it says Sackboy is Sony's OFFICIAL MASCOT.

I think you're confused; you're supposed to be arguing against me, not for me. We all already know that Uncharted is targeted at pre-pubescent boys who would rather play Tomb Raider as a dude rather than ogle Lara Croft for hours on end (well, kids and gay dudes, I guess). MAG stands for Miniature Adolescents' Gamez, the enemies in Killzone look like Halloween rejects (ooh, a gas mask! Scary!...if I'm six years old), and as you said, GoW is so kiddy I'm disgusted you even brought it up.
Nintendo, by contrast, gives us games targeted to middle-aged gamers like Wii Fit, and an iconic game with undercurrents of social commentary comparing the evils of capitalism with the glories of humanity's socialist future, while also exploring issues like drug abuse and using symbols of the peace movement to overcome dictatorships and tyrants.
I'm glad you agree those games aren't kiddy, or else you'd be looking really stupid right about now.
*Insert point 4 here* Oh wait, I don't have a response to that, 'cuz there is none!

Question: which PSP bundle did Sony devote precious time to in its E3 conference? What was that? Hannah Montana? Well I guess that shows where their priorities lie.
