1. pudstick? Win.

2. @Lord_Satorious - I really hope that console cycles don't become increasingly smaller, I really don't like spending that much money on each new iteration.

3. I was going to comment on the terrible video, but there's really no need. Pudstick says enough.

some good points in this vid, some absurd... really did nothing for me...

WIL U STOP LAWKING AT MY YOUTUBE VIDOES FFS

Yea, weak video. Tight ass song.

...self reassuring pieces of toad semen

this had me rolling, Jim.

I wish I'd included a post-jump comments round up now. Fruit2fruit!!!!

Also, I rule for having three out of four paragraphs end on a simile.

Can we get a RSS feed for Jim Sterling post nao?

Yeah we need to just stop discussing which console/online service is best. Each group is happy with their respective consoles, let's leave it at that.









HALOS IS TEH BEST! SEANLUXOR IS THE SUXXOR!!! PS3 COSTS A BAJILLION DOLLARS!! AND HAS NO FRICKIN GAMES!!

^ now your taking time out to write a post to bash someone bashing a kid.

IT ISS A VICUSH SICKLE!!!11!!!11!!!!!!!1!!!

Think that's bad...apparently they stopped teaching Roman numerals to kids.

Be surprised how many kids ask what: "EYE VEE", is.

Jesus.

It doesn't sadden me so much that the person who made this video has no idea what he is talking about as it does that he spent all the time to find all of these quotes and everything and then managed to misspell as many words as possible as well as not use anything close to proper grammar.

HI LUXOR!

Oh, and yeah, anyone who takes the time to make a video like that is dumb. But hey, at least THAT one know what grammar is.

And this video is dumb. That's the truth, baby.

i want to point out some major problems with this guys video. I don't mean to defend any viewpoint except that this guy is retarded.

1. He shows an article saying that PS3 sales had a record high and then shows a graph of the PS3 selling less than the PS2 during its launch window.

2. PS3 dominates the market in Italy, Germany, and Spain. w00h00. These countries are a TINY percentage of the market share when compared to Japan and the US.

3. The attach rate for the PS3 is about the same as the Wii. Ok, let us do multiplication. 3.4 games per PS3 at 3 million PS3s is 10.2 million games sold. 3.6 games per Wii at 11 million Wiis is 39.6 million games sold. BIG difference.

4. Metal Gear Solid 4 IS coming to the 360.

5. blu-ray costs more? games are same price on either format, duh. You are paying for teh game, not the disc that the game happens to come on.

6. the random comment about hitting 20% of the PS3 potential. Why do none of the games for the PS3 that are coming out note even come close to looking as good as the supposed gameplay videos shown off at E3 of 2006?

7. Just to point out, the Cell Processor in the PS3 only uses 7 cores, it has an either core for redundancy just in case one of the cores stops functioning, the extra can be used. While all 8 cores can be used at once if needed, the PS3 does not take advantage of all 8 an at given time as it is built around only using 7. The PS3 has no PPU. One of the Cell's cores could be used as a PPU, but the PS3 does not use it in such a way.

8. "Look,they had to make a april full joke about PS3 console error since there are no major Problem with PS3." look past his writing ability, he doesn't get the joke. The PS3 is a George Forman grill. It is funny.

9. Xbox LIVE is $50/year, not $70

10. It is a good thing he learned how to resize images in mspaint so he could make the PS3 look barely larger than the 360.

11. He lists the Xbox 360 Elite as costing $560. It is too bad that it only costs $480

12. The Xbox DOES have a hard drive. It doesn't matter who did it first. Didn't nintendo have something on teh SNES? I know that Sega came out with a MegaDrive/Home Computer thing in Japan that had a hard disk WAY back when. It doesn't matter who did it first. Especially the home button. The HOME buttong is not a revalation from God, it is common sense.

13. The original motion controller on the PS1 was a 3rd party controller, Sony had nothing to do with it.

14. His numbers for revenue of Sony and Microsoft. These numbers mean absolutely nothing. Both Microsoft and Sony are WAY larger companies beyond video games. Sony makes TVs, stereos, mp3, computers..., it goes WAY beyond the PS3. Same goes for the 360. Overall company revenue means nothing when you are focused in on a specific area.

Meh, there's a difference between a typo and not understanding the English language.

i'd still like to point out that 600 for a starting price for a brand new console still isn't too much. the people bitching about price should obviously learn to be patient and save what you can afford. and really, 600 for a ps3 is fucking cheap for what we used to pay for a mere 8-bit machine. holy cripes.

the chart below has a nice guide to how much consoles have cost in the past (all adjusted for inflation):

namelessted you should make a video response to this video ... really you should.

I watched it, and it was funny. I tend to agree with his opinions on everything (except sales #'s). I own a PS3, my 360 broke so I am biased. I am a Nintendo fanboy though. I bought the PS3 (as oposed to another 360) because I like downloadable content and Wifi, and once you add that in it is like 10 buck for a bluray player. All three consoles are over priced, but it's what we are willing to pay not what is fair. $600 is too much for a toy. Whether it's a Movie player, game console, a grill, or a felatio machine it's still a toy.

I am still waiting for firmware 1.82, that when the felatio feature gets unlocked. Me buying the PS3 had nothing to do with Felatio or Advent Children coming out on blu ray.

Buying a 600 player for a new version of a movie I already own would be insane.

I am not insane.

Really. I'm not. Where's that receipt?

All this video proves is that the PS3 is for elitist nazi's and people with feeble minds aren't allowed to play. Which is sad because this really isn't the case. As I am sure there are some decent people that like Sony's produects. Even though I'm not a Sony fan, nor ever plan on getting one, I will not deny it has a lot of power, and a lot of potential.

I expect to see a more mature, more amazing video response to this, soon.

that was amazing... he should work for a media outlet, his ability to compare unrelated figures, conveniently ignore all the good points about certain products, and spin information to fit his point of view was incredible...
I love that he made the point that ps3 owners buy about as many games as wii owners... and the said that the software sales were therefore equal! and that comparison of overall profit for the companies at the end really blew me away, i mean obviously if sony(a major electical appliance maker) makes more than microsoft(a computer software company) its console is doing better... the kid is freakin genius!
that almost needs a new word, beyond fanboy... fanatic maybe?

Oh, I get it, the video was a joke.

APRIL FULLS EVERYONE!
