lmao... you can't be serious. When has Sony failed at anything in the Console market? You seem to forget how many things Sega released that completly flopped.

Obviously those GBA Owners don't have GCN's

If a Ps2 owner will buy a GBA, what's stopping him from buying the same with a Sony brand?

So true. I see that a lot at my school. PS2 owners thinking they are cool because they own one. *where's Joeiss for a reply? Ah, I see him. And he has a club!*

What the hell are you talking about? A club? WTF? Are you on crack or something?



And I do not think I am cool because I own a PS2. I would own every console if it weren't for money issues.



Like seriously, if this were me saying that all people who own a GCN are kiddy, all you fanboys would be yelling at me. This is like the same thing.

Usually you come and find a way to bash my posts, so I figured what I said would send a club with you. Or a preferred weapon of choice meh

Yes, I would hardly call the PS2 market loyal. PS1 was a big thing cause of all the games and CDs, and you could burn games for it. Then people got pulled into it cause its PS2, but I hardly think the majority would consider themselves Playstation gamers. And if the handheld doesnt even mention playstation it will do worse. Nobody cares that sony makes it.

I find this comment amusing since Sony has only produced 2 consoles.

I spent $350 on my 17" Sony monitor 3 years ago. And damn, that thing doesn't live up to the competition like viewsonic and samsung. And when I call the customer service line, the people are all rude and sh*t. WTF's up with that? I didn't pay $350 to be treated like Tom Brokaw's limo driver.

What Sega needs to do is get into the computer industry. How cool would it be to play warcraft 3 on a sega monitor?

According to the General Social Survey conducted by the same people of the National election studies, PS2 owners of the 15-21 demographic tend to associate "coolness" or "l33tn3ss" with owning a console free of kiddy games. This means you, Nintendo.

Sony has produced three consoles, but one never hit the market. That was the original Playstation. As for the Playstation Extreme, they took all the good things SNES was, added on, and made it 32-bit. That was success.

"I spent $350 on my 17" Sony monitor 3 years ago. And damn, that thing doesn't live up to the competition like viewsonic and samsung. And when I call the customer service line, the people are all rude and sh*t. WTF's up with that? I didn't pay $350 to be treated like Tom Brokaw's limo driver. "

I agree like hell. That's why I'm bitter.

Oh yes, and to throw some firewood into the "I own a sony console, I'm cool!" I agree fullheartedly. When's the last time you heard a PS2 owner say that it's the best system ever? Best games ever?

Nice mix debate

Yeah, Sony is 2 for 2 in success..

Sega was 1 for 1, then 1 for 2, then 1 for 3, then 1, for 4.

2 successful consoles kills off Sega.

Especially since SegaCD never caught on to people. They should have released a new console with just CD stuff slightly before PSX but with equal power (though PSX wasnt really that powerful).

Do you know how many times I've heard Nintendo fans exclaim that Nintendo makes the best games ever?

This arguement goes 2 or 3 ways...

It's obvious how many people are jealous of the PS2's success...Owners of the PS2 only have the system because they want to be cool, right? They couldn't possibly buy the system because it has many more AAA titles than any other system (according to all major game review companies)?

I feel your pain about Nintendo's long, pathetic downward spiral...I really do. But it doesn't give you an excuse to pull something out of your ass, call it an opinion, and throw it into a debate.

lol, if you want to include Sega CD, my last post should have been:

Sega was 1 for 1, then 1 for 2, then 1 for 3, then, 1 for 4, then 1 for 5, then 1 for 6

The Playstation had kiddy games. The PS2 also has kiddy games. This "study" conducted is flawed. The games just aren't as "popular" as other games are. Every console has kiddy games. They just don't get the publicity.
