The Ultimate Proof Sony Is Winning
The Wrath | 6:39 PM on 07.21.2008 42 comments




Jane Wells of CNBC writes:

” Forget the analysts. Forget the NPD sales figures. Forget the CEO’s. I live with the ultimate expert on the video game industry—my 16-year-old son.”

She continues on about how her son watches G4, loved the Xbox and was never much of a PlayStation fan…until E3 08. According to Ms. Wells, “After hearing about “Metal Gear Solid 4”, as well as other PlayStation exclusives in the pipeline and the awesomeness of Blu-ray, he promptly packed up his Xbox 360 and all his games and went down to Game Stop to trade them in.” If that isn’t ultimate proof Sony is “winning”, then I don’t know what is.

With Nintendo showing they don’t care about the “core” gamer, Microsoft showing imitation is the highest form of flattery and Sony showing why their consoles sell 100mil, maybe one gamer’s exodus is just the beginning?

*sigh* Yes, because a 16 year old G4 viewer is obviously the most informed consumer. Can we just stop the obvious flamebaiting already?

Just because her son picks it doesnt mean that its winning. He may have the opinion of a dick tbh

The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

Seriously, the entire premise of this blog is an utter failure.

Discussing consoles as venues to play games, comparing their features, and debating the quality of their games is one thing.

Using one 16-year-old's subjective stance as 'cause to ultimately damn an entire console is something completely different... and it's beyond sophomoric and ignorant.

Seriously, what does it matter to you who sells more consoles? All three major hardware manufacturers are well entrenched; they're not going anywhere.
With the majority of games are multiplatform and so many UI ideas being transplanted from one system to another... this is becoming more and more pathetic.

I'm a PS3 owner and I do not approve of this message. Nor do I support the other party in this stupid discussion. Ever thought about a world with one console? No? Think about the effects on creative output. And I will talk to you later.

@ The Wrath: You're an embarrassment to PS3 owners and lovers everywhere. You're such a pathetic fanboy.

Do you sleep with your PS3 at night? Stick your needle-dick in it's slots? Seriously, grow the fuck up! Who cares about some 16 year old? My brother is 15 and loves the 360, see, I just gave you proof that the 360 is winning!!!!

Seriously dude, grow up.

We're here to discuss games, not lick Sony's nut sack

Fell into his trap? If you say so. I don't usually bother with him, but felt it was necessary to let him know what I think of him this time.

Still, I feel like a douche just for dropping another comment in his pathetic blog.

imho- the wrath isn't being serious, what i gather is that hes making fun of the idiot reporter that decided that because her son has picked up a ps3, they've won, which i think is funny how low journalism has sunk.

or is it just me?

There is no such thing as a troll. Only people on the internet.

Heretic, you cannot post pics like that any more. Remember, we cannot use longcat anymore.

Heretic: Fuck no. We shouldn't crowd the blogs when there's proof enough to get both you and The Wrath banned for excessive posting (nothing that makes you scroll down for more than 2 seconds was the rule) and just being offensive (That father comment was out of line, Wrath).
