Something to ponder about the PS2...

hyper

Thank you for all the links.

Still, you haven\'t added much from what I said before.  Other than Too Human being on the list and Eternal Darkness having a *set date*, everything else is pretty much the same as I stated in the other post.  Sorry, but I still stick by what I said at the beginning.  Nintendo still does not have the ammunition to compete against the likes of Microsoft and Sony to grab a fair share of the adult market.

I must apologize for sounding so anal, but I am still not swayed.  Although your estimation (Not kiddy: 79.0 Kiddy: 20.93% ) is quite interesting, I hate arguing with personal taste.  I don\'t believe anyone is in line to tell someone else how they should think.  That is why I tend to stick with objective matters rather than anything subjective.  In this case, you find so and so games mature (like Gamecube Mario as stated above) and some not mature.  That is your personal taste and what you *think*.  I on the other hand don\'t think everything (some, and not everything) you just listed is in line with maturity or even kiddie for that sake, so the percentages you present to me is just irrelevant (sorry!) because we don\'t have the same *personal taste* in what we conceive as mature.  To stray from the whole subjective matter, in my other post I presented to you with a defintion of "mature" straight out of the Mariam Webster dictionary and derived my groundwork of argument from there.  In this case, how do we determine what is the *set* level of mature.  You have your personal views on what you think, and I have mines.  This argument can go on forever!  I have an idea!  Let\'s just lay it all to rest, and just enjoy the games ok?  

I don\'t seem to see your point there...

As for the quote:

Nintendo stated that, "This 8cm pocket size disc that can fit in your pocket was designed to be an advanced medium that can be easily inserted/removed from the main drive and is user-friendly for all levels."

Notice how Nintendo themselves said the cartridge format was indeed there to make it more "user friendly for all levels".  Basically, they just supported what I have been saying all along "regarding the reason why Nintendo uses a cartridge like device is to prevent kids from scratching it".  Surprised me too!

Damn hyper, you really do have no life.

Agreed!! Saves me from digging up a hundred links.

So by your analogy, I can say "Since forks are user-friendly to all age groups, it must be made for the kids." Wait, something\'s not right there, is it.

Nonsense! My life is filled with exotic women and rapper friends. Why, I got my first shag long before you were even born...










































Wait, I just fell down the stairs that time... *proceeds to crawl back under rock*

I think XBox will bomb 2 out of 3 times, if they have a M$ OS in the box, if they have Linux, then they might have a stable system LOL  

Toxical, that\'s like the 50th time I\'ve seen you crack an XBox joke.

Tshirts: Just how MANY forums have you posted this same topic on?  I counted 2 so far, but just how many has it reached?  Are you trying to gain attention?  Are you attempting to convince yourself that your decision to stick with the X-Box is the right one?  Are you trying to convince others that the right choice is the X-Box?  What is the point of this debate anyways?

Being perfectly honest with you, I read your entire thread of all the people who replied along with all of your replies and the only real conclusion anyone can draw is that it\'s a great time to be a gamer.  Games make a system popular no matter what anyone says and debating about what games system A will have over system B is pointless.  Just buy every damn console and enjoy all of the splendor that it will be.  If you can\'t buy every system, go out and make some friends who own other systems and trade accordingly.  Just understand that lots of people are gamers and needing an excuse to choose any one console over another is so 1980\'s.

everyone keeps harpin on how good xbox graphics are, and they do look good,but there is more to gaming than graphics alone. graphics is very important but so is game quality and playability. Im big into sports games on pc and ps2. I definately know that on pc sports games microsoft games are nothing to bragg about. in football easports  definately #1 (Madden series), not microsofts football game. In golf tiger woods definately #1( also easports)and microsoft golf sux. Same goes for baseball and basketball. So microsoft better figure out how to make better sports games or they wont even touch sony\'s PS2. Im very pleased with the graphics on PS2, that stuf about xbox twice better graphics, thats bullchit. They may be little better but not that much. PS2 will be just fine.

Huh, you are making no sense. XBOX has visual concepts and EA sports.

There\'s a lot of discussion earlier about how Nintendo still caters to a "kiddy" market with games like Luigi and Pikmin and SSB.  I thought that was odd since I am anticipating all three of those titles.  Then I realized that 1) the games will be fun for all ages in those cases and 2) maybe videogames brings out the kid(dy) in me, so that\'s OK, too.

I\'ve said it before, the only market Nintendo "caters" to is the one made up of gamers.

I got to lighten up the mood here, it is getting long winded.
