You're obviously a fanboy for not enjoying all of the systems equally and having a preference over other systems. that's something a person like Paco would say, who has an obvious bias towards 360 and all things MS. I cant stand the mentality of 'If you have a favorite, you're a biased fanboy'. It makes no sense. People cant seem to understand the concept of judgement, having a devotion to Nintendo doesn't mean I wont also fall in love with Capcom, Konami, Square, etc. Shadow of the Collosus, ICO (art-as-games) or anything else that grabs my interest.
What's really retarded is a sony fanboy; to have a preference for a system or company just because of a handful of exclusive 3rd party games. Like Rtan defending Sony, the company, saying that they're better than Nintendo/MS etc becase you can only get Silent Hill on the Playstation systems. But because it's a third party, that could change at any time.
At least MS has some form of internal games division (though it hasn't been really fruitful yet) and strong second parties like Bungie and Rare... though Rare and to an extent Bungie has beeen questioned lately in terms of their abilities. Sony litteraly has nothing but bad hardware and a brand name that attracted massive amounts of third parties.
People talk about how Nintendo should merge with Sony, but what does sony have to offer Nintendo? Anything at all? More office space? Or what about MS, should Nintendo merge with them? can you honestly say that there's a game on XBox or 360 that is actually worth buying the system for? The exclusives are available on PC or released on other systems a year later and everything else is the same 3rd party software available everywhere else (though Nintendo is practically dead in that department with GC especially by EA and Ubisoft and even better companies like Konami) and in both cases, Sony's hardware is legendary regarding it's shit design and MS can only release systems that make them lose money. So when people say they're a fan of MS or Sony, they're litteraly saying they're a fan of their respective hardware. if you're not a developer, what does being a fan of hardware get you?
Nintendo is the only company out there that makes hardware and has multiple first and second parties around the world, no one can compete in that department with Nintendo, they're bigger than EA, bigger than EA and Ubisoft and Rare and Konami and Square-Enix combined and they consecutively pump out AAA titles like it's nobody's business, titles that fall on deaf ears because of a mass-interest in a brand name. It dumbfounds me. from a business perspective, there's no reason for Nintendo not be number 1, but even as we approach the 5th Nintendo home console there's still alot to be said about Truth in Advertizing, in that it's true that the better your ad-campaign the more you will sell.
And that's what everything is reduced to, that's what Nintendo is looking at, that making the best hardware, games, etc mean nothing to the mass market, that it's really all about who has the best commercials and appeal among young adults and children who are desperate to stay away from anything not immeadiately identified as EXTREME. Sony is now being taken to court over an ad placed in London subways telling people to 'Take a running jump' on to the tracks, or asking people to view porn on the PSP. Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel. But the saddest part is that this is exactly how sony dominates the entire industry, save handhelds. Because sony appeals to the children or simple minded who are looking for a good S&M session with their inability to cope with adult hood. if this keeps up, i wouldn't be surprised to see Nike release a handheld sponsored by Michael Jordan's pit sweat or a home console produced by MTV called the 'Fuck Your Parents With RAP Pornotainment Sytem' and dont be surprised when it actually gives Sony, MS and Nintendo stiff competition especially with it's three launch titles: 'Xtreme Dick Measuring', 'Gay Basher: Mutiny on the Fag' and the Japanese release of 'Let's Prostitute! No Dentsu Love & Murder' which is the first game who's main character is an STD.
i cant fucking wait.
