Look, he has heaps of statements like this one:
Quote:
We'd describe the Japanese DS launch as boring. Then again, we presume we'll look back upon it fondly next week when we're fighting off crowds to get one of the few available PSP units (major retailers Bic Camera and Yodobashi Camera have announced that they won't be taking pre-orders for the system). Stay tuned to IGNPSP for launch coverage of a different flavor on 12/12.
He keeps mentioning the PSP and that it's much cooler. AAAAArgh I can't stand it.

Thats really ridiculous. The DS guy should be talking about the good of that console, not other ones.

I now hope that the PSP bombs just so I can laugh in that guy's face.

ign ds is stupid..."oh the japanese launch was boring and slow" That's why the ds sold 500,000 over there in two days right? STUPID IGNDS!!! but no where near as stupid and biased as GAMEPRO... I hate the magazine.. but i subscibe to it....

they are so retarded and biased that I could puke...

mark halo 2 down for bad controls and graphics, mark metroid echoes down for bad sound and bad controls...they are the most ps2 biased thing on the face of the earth.... i hate gamepro because they give scores of 1-5, and never explain why they game those scores... hate GAMEPRO!!!!!!!

I'd be fine with some criticism about the DS but the guy is a spoiled mother ****er. He always thinks that if a launch isn't like the PS2 launch was, its boring.

Since when do launches have to occur with big flashy lights, celebs, and people literally being killed for wanting something. I don't want things like that to occur. But when Sony is shipping an insanely small amount of PSP's, I don't like it. How can any company only produce 200,000 units or whatever. The line to making the things should be a constant thing. Even though it takes awhile, if they only launch 200,000 PSP's in the US, then they need to redo their business. Even though it makes more hype, any company who shafts the amount to let people buy, thats just not good.

But as for IGN DS. I think the guy is gonna get switched. You can offer criticsm against the DS sometimes, but when you blatanly tell people to go buy a PSP but you work for IGN DS, something needs to change. It's like Bill Gates telling people, "Well, Internet Explorer is full of security holes and Firefox isn't as bad. We recommend going to FireFox"

The reason the NDS launch was weak in some cities is that it was freezing, it was a normal work day and Nintendo had a perfect pre-order system. So people didn't NEED to line up... They just bought it when they got out of school or work.
