Hmm...well now is plain obvious that who said this, is a prime example of what im talking about. (refer to topic)
NOW... lets go over the important points here:
*1)** Nintendo is brain washing
*2)** They try to put off SEVERE short coming as features..(HA!)
*3)** they are feeding off the intelectually handicaped by getting them to believe that they are getting somthing better when in fact they are getting somthing worse!
*4a)** Savings??...how about the price of the games? if they are so concerned with helping us save money how come the games are the same price? Like someone mentioned earlier the disks are created to stop piracy right?...so wheres the consumer savings? (same price as a DVD based game)
*4b)** Not to mention the actual size of the disk! A DVD is a physically larger component; and if you compare the amount of actual materials needed to create a DVD in relation to a GC disk...well its obviously smaller right?...so wheres the saving?
Yeah sure, on a single disk you\'d save like 10c or whatever... but multiply this by million (or how ever many million games they sell) and nintendo are making a pretty tidy profit at the expense of us! ...oh and they are doing this for us, the consumer! ..GIVE ME A BREAK!!! (thanks for the saving brainwashers!!!)
THIS is sad to the point of hilarity! Wake up nintendo fan boys!
PS2 and x-box are on the right path... when will nintendo see the light?? (i aint holding my breath!)
hehe, ignorance is funny.
First of all, no one in this topic, with the expection of maybe myself, could be considered a Nintendo fanboy.
As for your points:
1) How are they brainwashing? You have yet to tell us directly.
2)That didn\'t even make sense. Clarify what you\'re saying.
3)I own a Gamecube, are you saying that I\'m intellectually handicapped? Infact, I own one, and don\'t own an X-Box or PS2. But hey, at least I\'m intellectual enough to string together a decent post. How exactly are they feeding off the "intellectually handicapped?
4a) The console is cheaper, because that is the main purchase you have to make. It is easier to make smaller game purchases, or even rent games. In the case of the console, it\'s cheaper due to fewer features. The games don\'t have any less to them, and aren\'t cheaper to make, so why should they be cheaper?
4b)The size of the disc has nothing to do with the costs. The costs are in developement. A difference of 10 cents? Ha. It does cost 10 cents total to make either the DVDs or the minidiscs. Why you think that they are making more of a profit it beyond me. What are you saying they should do, lower game prices by 10 cents so that they even things out? :rolleyes:
And while we\'re on the topic of Japan, ask them which console is not on the right path. I think the sales figures speak for themselves.
