Nintendofreak, you've just revived 5 or so topics, all stating one line opinions entirely against the PS2 and X-Box. Are you aware you're posting in topics over a year old?
I've noticed you've done that a lot lately, and I've been nice about it. But seriously, if you're going to be reviving topics, at least make a semi-intelligent post. Just say "PS2 and X-Box suck, Nintendo rules." five times really isn't the way to go.
Try explaining yourself, WHY do you dislike the PS2 and X-Box? Had I thought you've known me a bit better, I'd believe you were just trying to make me angry, but I figure that's not the case. And so, why not express yourself a bit more.
"Nintedo is not as popular as it once was, thanks to these other successful platforms. Most of you people won't even give the PS2 or the Xbox a chance. I agre that Xbox is not doing all that well at all, but the machine is incredable! And if you don't play PS(2), than you're missing out on a world or amazing games. Sony is not copying Nintendo at all, they're just marketing. It's called business folks. Besides, other companies actually make the majority of the games for the PS2, and PSone. If any of you people that are so stuck on "just Nintendd" consider yourselves to be true gammers, than you should play on multiple platforms."
There, BoltMan has already said much of what I had wished to do myself. Actually, he may have done a better job of it than I could have done.
But one thing I thought was particularly funny was that this topic claimed that Sony was "copying" Nintendo.
"Also, you have probably noticed that Sony has dubbed the PS2 as "the future of entertainment", this clearly states that Sony is putting no stops to ensure the worldwide success of the PlayStation franchise! That is the same type of thing Nintendo has done with their systems: build upon an already-established successful franchise and mass-market it to the public in order to gain the most support off of it. "
You see, I tried to read that seriously, but every time I do, I end up laughing. That argument just doesn't make any sense. I'm not trying to be mean here, but seriously, what else should Sony have done? Should they have gone out trying to acquire world-wide success without establishing their franchise first? You can't expect to succeed without planning, and just because Nintendo did it first, doesn't make it wrong for another company to do so. As BoltMan said, it's NORMAL marketing.
I tire of these arguments, though. It's entirely due to narrow-mindedness and the unwillingness to try new things.
"I dispise any company that tries to ruin the success of Nintendo."
