speak for yourself. I was 95% sure that anything named Game Boy _____ would outdo its competition for at LEAST the first 6 months.

i never saw anyone who said that, not once. what everyone was saying was it would take a pretty big chunk out of nintendos share of the market, which it already has. who wins is a tossup. its anyones game at this point.

i dont know how anyone could think it would dominate from the get go, later release, + limited numbers pretty much wrote it out in big enough letters that the blind could read it. Sony isnt nor wasnt going for dominance from the start. they're planning on winning the race, not get out to the quickest lead.

It's Nintendo's new handheld...

And it takes the next leap in graphics (GB: NES/GBA: SNESish/DS: N64ish)...

So take what Stu said, replace "Anything named gameboy ______" with "Any Nintendo handheld" and it's the same thing and just as relevant...

I think the whole "It's not a gameboy, it's a DS!!!" thing is stupid...

Has someone been modifying the images to make an invalid point? :nono:

First: What all does ROFFLE stand for?

Second: -rep for me? Why? At least I remained honest in making my point. GM had to lower himself to lies and deceit to try and make yourself look better.

Really, who deserves the better reputation?

You know, originally I just thought it was funny that he said the whole "Anything named GameBoy ______" when the name is nowhere similar to GameBoy anything. Just Nintendo DS.

Its not about whether the DS is supposed to be a different system from the GameBoy or if it really is, in "spirit," the new GameBoy or what. He was referring to the name and got it wrong. If he said "Any Nintendo handheld" it would be completely different (in the terms of what I'm talking about, not the argument of whether the DS is a GameBoy or not).

*sigh*

Even though it does not say GameBoy on the box, I've heard plenty of people call it the new GameBoy. That goes for parents looking to buy a new handheld, to employees at large chain stores who don't know any better. This was especially true when I went christmas shopping. People would ask "Do you have any of the new GameBoys? Not knowing that it is actually called DS. They just associate Nintendo handheld with Gameboy. And the sales person would say the new GameBoys are more expensive, $150 then point them at the SP and say this one is cheaper, but it is not the newest Gameboy.
For Nintendo, I thinks its safe to say that this is where a majority of there handhelds get sold. To parents looking for new Gameboys for their children and they don't know the difference.

Ginkasa, to disagree with my statements and proof is one thing, but to slander my name and ravage my reputation is wrong and will not be tolerated. Perhaps you're having trouble remembering your evil deeds? Allow me to refresh your memory:

You have 24 hours to respond to this post with a public apology. In addition, you will neutralize the -reps you cast upon thee with +reps. If you do not follow these terms within the allotted time, I'll be taking my case to Staff Forum where you will be charged to the fullest extent on the accounts of flaming and reputation harassment. If found guilty, you will face a temporary banning or permanent banning.

Don't think for a second that your long-time membership here will save you. In case you haven't noticed, we are all equals here and are to be treated as such.

Roflmao, you faked that too? :D I love you, +rep!
