The father of Playstation stands down.

Postby xProtocol Rain » Fri Apr 27, 07 9:40 pm

The father of sonys PLAYSTATION: Ken Kuturaji steps down handing in his resignation as sony struggles to retain its dominance in the video game industry---he is replaced by Kazuo Hirjai. Now maybe this will made a difference. Or maybe not.

I'm going to bet he was "relieved." of his position. Seeing as how cra-- successful the PS3's launch has been.

Sure, 4% increase sucks. But it's better then a 4% decrease or no increase at all.

And Microsoft sucks shit. They can't make Operating Systems, they can't make gaming consoles. What they CAN make is complete crap. Okay, well their OS isn't COMPLETELY fucked but it ain't exactly the best. And the Xbox is shit. All it is, is a damn PC in the form of a console and just more powerful.

YOU CAN GET COMPUTERS MORE POWERFUL THEN A DAMN XBOX 360 SO WHY BOTHER BUYING THE PIECE OF SHIT?! And considering the PS3 is WAY more powerful then an Xbox 360 then why bother having an Xbox in the first goddamn place?

Most of the Xbox's games are just shotty rip-offs of the PC game. I saw The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind GOTY in a video store today. On the back the description was EXACTLY the same, word to word. How do I know? Cause I have the game on the PC. It's NO different. WTF is the point?

Anyways, I prefer Nintendo. Sure, ain't as powerful as either Xbox or PS3. But I've been a Nintendo supporter through and through.

Huh, the PS3 isn't 'way' more powerfuller than the 360? lol...and you wanna know why people are starting to get consoles more than PCs?, they cost cheaper, and soon a third party will illegally turn them into PC's themselves like they did with the Xbox.

Most new M$' Xbox Live games are tons better than PC online games themselves, there is only a matter of time until consoles completely over take PC gaming once more. (I'm thinking digital distribution!, god I hate discs...)

Anyway, yeh, don't patronise Xbox for releasing silly console ports of games anyway, both the Xbox and PS3 have Elderscrolls IV: Oblivion, the only benefit of the PS3 version is the draw distance, but the default design characters look even uglier than they do!

In my opinion, PC games should stay PC games. And I see no difference, the people on Oblivion look fucking weird on any system.

And... I could easily get a decent PC for much cheaper than any PS3 or Xbox 360.

Yeah but the downside to PC's is that they constantly need upgrading to keep up with newer games, plus installation takes forever, monthly fees to play games online and its more likely to crash than a console..

All depends on personal preference I guess.

Yeah, but on a PC you can... -- *Breath*

Map for it, Mod on it, Code for it, Model for it, Tweak it, and improve it.

You can use the WASD keys + Mouse which is infinitely more accurate than a controller, and is also more comfortable (Excluding Wii of course. <3.).

And the single reason why PCs will always be better than consoles, if a console is always trying to become a PC, the PC technically has to be better, otherwise the console would be trying to be worse.

PC will always > Console.

Console is just usually more convenient.

I've only ever had to upgrade my own PC once, and that was because the original graphics card was shit.

People go on like as soon as there is a new graphics card, you must buy it or you're fucked forever.

But you aren't.

My 512mb 6600 has been going strong for a year now, and I might not be able to run 6 copies of HL2 at once while calculating algorithms to cure AIDS, but -- It does a damn good job.

It also doesn't have 4 processors that do NOTHING 80% of the time, otherwise it will burn out.

No, that is possibly the worst argument I have ever heard for a controller stick.

Just because it is more difficult it means its more realistic?

Real life isn't moving a nub around and holding the R trigger.

The closest thing to reality in an FPS atm is the Wii. So go home.

... ... ... Let's remember, the 360 was out quite a bit before PS3. Also, the game range on PS3 isn't exactly fantastic yet is it?

Also, how much is a PS3? Can't you buy a Wii and a 360 for the cost of it? :lol:

Then why do millions upon millions of people use their OS, their software, their XBOX and everything else?

If they really didnt like it, they wouldnt use it would they.

Are you high? The graphics card on the 360 kick all kinds of ass on the ps3. All the playstation has is processing power. The 360 was made by computer people. So what does that mean? Better internet, better everything pretty much. Bill Gates is backing it too. And not only that, they pretty much have the money to do whatever the fuck they want with it. The 360 is just dominating everything right now. I really recommend you do research on these systems before you say something like that.

Isint this supposed to be a memorial for Ken not another stupid discussion on me? Don't waste your time talking about me and just remember Mr.Kutagari.


No dude. This isn't a memorial. I didn't start this topic for him to be remembered or anything like that. Just letting people know what's happening. I could give a damn about the guy. But sense you seen to worship the guy so badly be my guest and remember whatever important thing he did.

Just because the Xbox was made by COMPUTER people doesn't make it good. If it's made by people who make Computers, wouldn't that mean they're better at making COMPUTERS rather than consoles?

Either way, Microsoft can't make shit so what does it matter?
