PS3 Worst Reviewed Launch Ever?

We find out which modern console really came with the worst games.

By 1UP Staff, 11/24/2006
We all got excited when the PS3s finally arrived. But that initial high wore off in shockingly short order. As talk circulated around the office from everyone playing the games for reviews it became clear that beyond Resistance, the launch lineup dropped off pretty sharply. It didn't take long for the gut feeling to develop that PS3 might just have the worst reviewed set of launch games in modern videogame history.

And then the Wii's arrived. While the response wasn't quite as pronounced, it was equally obvious that The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess stood head-and-shoulders above the rest of the offerings. But surely, the Wii, with a Zelda game, couldn't be the worst reviewed launch lineup...could it?

We had to know.
So, we decided to dig in and find out. Deciding how far back to go was pretty easy. The launch of the original PlayStation started the modern era of videogames, and it seemed only fitting to begin there in light of its third descendent sparking our curiosity. And while it could be argued that strictly speaking it began with Sega's Saturn, it arrived with only one launch game, making comparison seem unbalanced. That same problem struck the N64, which arrived in North America with only two games. We chose to keep it in the study for the sake of continuity.

That made our full lineup PlayStation (Sept. 1995), Nintendo 64 (Sept. 1996), Dreamcast (Sept. 1999), Playstation 2 (Oct. 2000), GameCube (Nov. 2001), Xbox (Nov. 2001), Xbox 360 (Nov. 2005), PS3 (Nov. 2006), and Wii (Nov. 2006).

And the loser is...
As it turns out a Sony console did indeed have the worst reviewed crop of launch games, but not the one we thought. The original PlayStation holds the title, with the nine (out of 12 release games for which Gamerankings has a composite score) racking up a lackluster 70.4 average score. Looking at the games, and remembering the launch, it makes sense. There wasn't a true standout among them. Warhawk topped the list, along with Battle Arena Toshinden, and Ridge Racer. And for as many fond memories as it has, Twisted Metal only managed a disappointing 66.9 average.

Neither was there a big winner. Turns out, when you stack them all up against each other all the launches have averaged in the 70's. Well, except N64, but it's hard to compare it because it only had two games at launch, and one of them was Super Mario 64. For all the others, launch lineups have numbered in the teens, with PlayStaion 2 topping the list with close to 30 games at launch.

And not only isn't PlayStaion 3 the worst reviewed launch lineup in recent memory, it's not even the worst in this latest "next-gen" round of launches. Believe it or not, that distinction goes to the Wii, despite having Zelda. Its 20 games combined for a 71.3 average, making it actually the second worst launch next to the PlayStaion. With PS3 coming in at 73.4, that gave the crown to Xbox 360, which averaged 77.3 for its launch library.

Averages are just that, though, and don't tell you much about the best games that accompanied the launches. And the best of the batch wasn't a surprise, but it wasn't a Nintendo game either. Soul Caliber for the Dreamcast, with an average of 96.4 just barely squeaks out the win over the Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess for Wii. At the other end of the spectrum, both Wii and PS3 share the worst stinkers with Happy Feet for Wii coming in at a 45 and Gundam: Crossfire at the very bottom with its 34.8.

Here's a quick look at the overall rankings, with the best and worst games of each launch:

GameCube - 79.4 Average Score, 12 games

Xbox 360 - 77.3 Average Score, 18 games Dreamcast - 74.3 Average Score, 19 games
  • Best: Soul Calibur - 96.4
  • Worst: Mortal Kombat Gold - 56.5
PlayStation 2 - 73.7 Average Score, 29 games PlayStation 3 - 73.4 Average Score, 13 games Xbox - 73.0 Average Score, 19 games Wii - 71.3 Average Score, 20 games PlayStation - 70.4 Average Score, 9 games
  • Best: Warhawk - 89.4
  • Worst: Total Eclipse Turbo - 47.5
*Nintendo 64 - 91.3 Average Score, 2 games
  • Best: Super Mario 64 - 95.8
  • Worst: Pilotwings - 86.8

[How we did this: We began with the list of launch titles available from wikipedia. From there we used press releases and retailer launch lists to fill out the rest as best as possible. Aggregate review scores are those listed at gamerankings.com]

Xtlm Twistem Metal's score is unfair!
Author: Xtlm, 01/21/2007
only 6 reviews on gamerankings 3 are good 2 are decent and one is horrible the one that was horrible drug it down significantly... yeah! back then people didnt give tm2 a good score...but now they love it I think when the people were 1st reviewing the game they didnt like it, but then it grew on them and thenthey loved it...but it was too late to go back and change the review

Author: Wiincubus, 12/01/2006
Lol. Idc. Ps3 in my mind has the worst launch titles EVER. Wii rocks and will rock forever. Lol at least it doesn't overheat and isnt heat sensored (add those two together) ps3=POOP WII WILL LIVE FOREVER!

Eothred Comparison
Author: Eothred, 11/30/2006
The average score is imho quite unusable for comparison measures alone. I.e. ps2 delivers 29 games at an average of 73.7, compared to ps3 with only 13 games, with an average of 73.4. Obviously ps2 did a much better job. Also, the fact that gundam is out on ps3 isn't worse than it not being out, although this comparison claims so (and someone may argue me on this one, I know it looks terrible). A typical consumer is probably interested in 2-3 games together with his console at launch. I would say that the top 5 (or 3 or 4 or whatever) games should have a much larger weighting than the rest, because it's these top games that make the real launch lineup for most guys. Also, it should somehow take into account the number of games in some way, freedom of choice obviously is a good thing. So, my recommendation for comparison measures would be: -top five games count 3 times as much as the rest of the games for the average score. -# of games with average score above 70 should be given (this is the most ) -# games in total could be given -Games with average score below ~60 shouldn't be taken into account in the averaging (they do not effect the launch in any way) Finally, very interesting to see how little significance this lineup presumeably have with the future success of the console. I thought it had much more significance! Dreamcast having the best launch game ever, and we all know where that one ended up, nowhere!

Dude... (meaning GBF)... I haven't read your postings in over 2 weeks. The ONLY reason that I knew this one was here was because SGC told me, otherwise I wouldn't have come back to this forum. BTW... way to stay on the ball with current topics. You can bitch me out all you want and it doesn't mean a damn thing because I'm not reading it. I was done with you a long time ago. So go argue/bitch/wack-off to someone else because I don't care.

I thought you meant "JRPG" as in RPGs that are made in Japan, but i think you mean the RPGs that are made in Japan that look all "Cute Anime" style. Call me bias, but i have huge faith in Japanese products :D Hell, i think my NES lasted 10 years........although i still had to blow into it sometimes LOL

urugsemagdnakcordrah About Zelda...
Author: urugsemagdnakcordrah, 11/28/2006
Zelda is an epic adventure / action game with certain RPG elements, and sometimes platform elements. It's the perfect mix. That's why is that good. Like Metroid Prime, it's not a first person shooter per se. Nintendo likes to mix various elements so you get the best of both worlds. That's why those games are masterpieces. Miyamoto is da man!

"Last time i check Zelda was a Japanese RPG..." ewww no way. lol. zelda is zelda. jrpgs are completely different. i know its made by god himself, miyamoto, but thats different than your typical jrpg. MUCH different. like if halo was made in japan, would you call it a jFPS? hmmm still halo.

Author: Kawasaki_KX250, 11/28/2006
@SGC Yes, i know that it takes more than one person to argue and insult..............but it only takes one person to start it. I know that you were just voicing your opinion when you first arrived here, and since i wasn't around at the time i won't bother agruing about that.....because i had no idea what you said in your first post. I don't expect my "mission Statement" to work on you, but it helps me argue with you a little better because you know that i am also a Nintendo and Xbox fan. The only person my "mission statement" seems to be working on is Wii60_Man.........because damn, he gets fired up when i argue with him LOL (Wii60_Man is a perfect example of the "Retarded Fanboys" i mentioned) @Wii60_FTW Microsoft was kinda bragging about it, it seemed like a classic example of two kids trying to show off: "oh you can do this, well look i can do: This and this and this ect...." In my opinion i believe that both the 360 and PS3 Launches were nothing special. Sure Most of the PS3 game were already on the 360, but most Sony fans don't own a 360 so this doesn't mean anything to them. But yes the PS2 launch was bad, i remember playing some shit game called "X Squad" or something like that.......................... Japanese RPGs are fun, thats what keeps the Gameboys flowing.......and it is also why the PSP isn't too popular (because it doesn't have any). Last time i check Zelda was a Japanese RPG (action RPG, the best kind).

is it me or do i have this undying feeling that nintendo is about repeat history like it did with it's nes ? and what about xbox, xbox 360 ? there's rumours spurring they are already working on another next gen system along with there handheld gaming system ( hello can you sega ?) and now there's sony ok so the ps3 is exspensive but so was the ps1 and ps2 you have to remember technolgy has come a long way these past 15 years... give em a chance is what i say cause it's only a matter of time before video games evolve again we only got 5 years before these systems are obselete ...

"I remember reading somewhere that mircosoft commented on the PS3 being able to support up to 7 controllers, by saying: "The PS3 can support 7 wireless controllers, who cares? The 360 can support up to 250 wireless devices" All companies talk crap and rip on each other, its common in the business world." -yeah except M$ didnt shoot their mouths off trying to brag about it. they simply replied saying, "so fucking what". thats a huge difference. im sure you can understand this. and ALL of those games, but one, are already on the 360. ps3's launch is total crap. yes i would call it the worst launch, scratch that, the ps2 was prolly worse. im swear to god im not joking when i say this, but i remember waiting in line, yes 12 hours, at walmart for my ps2 (first in line BTW), and when it came time for everyone to pick the games that they wanted, i literally heard people saying, "theres really nothing here at all, all these games suck.". so maybe ps2 wins, but ps3 is close. all i bought with my ps2 launch was was....DARK CLOUD I THINK IT WAS LOL GROSS. i think thats what it was. of course the games got better in time. i got one for mgs2 mainly. 360's launch smokes them both. yeah you mentioned quake4, which ruled, but i bought that for my pc instead. yeah good game. gave doom3 a run for its money. yeah amped 3 sucks. lets not talk about it anymore LOL. 360 has insane-good games right now. it will only get better too. add live to the mix and youre set. sony cannot compete. i suppose if youre REALLY into japanese culture and gayRPGs then maybe ps3 is for you(not you personally lol). ITS NOT FOR ME. :)

I don't hate Sony fans. I have friends that are Sony fans. I don't have a problem with that. I even had the PS1 and PS2. I just hate Sony and its attitude. So, even if I have money to buy one, I decided to not support them in this generation. And I never bashed Sony fans. I always insulted Sony, their arrogant attitude, wrong decisions and broken promises, and then some stupid PS fanboy takes it personal and jump over me and insult me, then I insult him back and that's how it all begins. It's called "eye for an eye". The thing is easy... I will continue to insult Sony and its attitude anytime I want, as much as I want, possibly for a very long time till they change their attitude and the shit and lies, and if some brainless Sony sheep wants to take it personal and engage himself in a war with me, he will get fire back for sure. If you or someone else want to fight, here I am. I can post here whatever I want as anybody else. And your... Mission Statement The Hardcore Fanboys and Fangirls don't stand a chance against me, im so level headed and neutral that it will drive them crazy. I don't hate all Fanboys/Fangirls, just the ones that are just a little too retarded. If you seem like a retarded fanboy, don't be surprised if i start argueing against your mindless flamming posts/comments. My goal is to piss you off more than the people that you have attempted to piss off...........and i can easily do so without childish name calling. ...thing won't work with me. All of you should thank me for this dirty job I'm doing. It's for all of us not to have in the next generation a $1000 PS4 with $80 games, focused on non-gaming features that makes it faulty and slow to produce and the other companies to follow. So see it as my social labor to the gaming world. Sony forget that there's two more that can fill our gaming needs very well, so if they want to be the leaders again, we have to push them hard and they have to give the best. If not, please Sony, step aside.

yeah i know that Sony talked smack about the 360 but microsoft also taked its fair share of trash talk too. I remember reading somewhere that mircosoft commented on the PS3 being able to support up to 7 controllers, by saying: "The PS3 can support 7 wireless controllers, who cares? The 360 can support up to 250 wireless devices" All companies talk crap and rip on each other, its common in the business world. As for the system launches: I personally believe that the Wii had the best Line up, i mean they did what Microsoft and Sony where too stupid to do. They released their systems most popular game at launch (ZELDA). Now if Mircosoft would have had Halo 3 ready for launch that would have been insane, and If Sony had Metal Gear Solid 4 ready that too would have been great! But microsoft and sony aren't as smart.......... As for the 360 and PS3 launch titles, they both are not very impressive. I remember playing "AMPED 3" and it sucked.........it was basically the same as "AMPED 2" but with smoother graphics.........If you look closely the tread on the Skidoo doesn't even move while you drive it. The only games i liked on the 360 launch were: PGR3 Quake 4 Call of duty 2 Condemned and the games i like on the PS3 launch are: Resistance NFS: Carbon Fight Night 3 Call of Duty 3 Tony Hawks Project 8

digitalmullet Best Launch Ever
Author: digitalmullet, 11/27/2006
I would say the best launch lineup was the Sega Dreamcast. Sould Calibur was an absolute must buy game. It was leagues ahead of its time from a technological standpoint, and it played flawlessly. Also, Sonic Adventure was great. It hasn't aged too well, but at the time it was stunning. On top of that, other games like House of the Dead 2, Marvel vs. Capcom, Power Stone, and NFL 2K were all worthy of buying. In my book, the Dreamcast launch lineup remains the best ever.

I'm now going to have to wait 2 years?..Before the price goes down in price "Damn Does Stupid Run In Japan and America today?" or were they just brought up like Greedy Bastards even when they started out as a Corporate Company?...Screw that!

@dragon, really? well i know project64 doesnt play some games, but games like 007,pd,marios,zeldas,conker,etc. work MORE than perfect. but n64 is not as easy to emulate apparently. zNES or Jnes whater its called, works more than good too. all of the snes games run better than normal and in HD resolutions with 32 bit color too, like project64. there are options to make text and edges look very smooth,etc. lots of stuff. it really looks amazing to see 2d mario and link look this good. yeah that classic controller looks cool, but u can just plug your GC controller into the wii too. but nothing can beat using an xbox1 or 360 pad on a pc emulator tho. (p.s. i own all of these games so backups are legal 1up. just incase) @kawasaki, well considering that the 360 can use more video ram than the ps3, im not sure what theyre going to use with their 100 gig super x-ray disks besides store more CG in FF. but lets see what happens. but ive stated many times why exactly i hate sony now. just read 1up articles over the past year to see why they are going down. everyone knows it man. im just about to play zelda TP right now and i dont want to list an entire essay right now either(im serious). sony did nothing but badmouth 360 for a year and now they got their foot in their mouth. no good games at all. 360 launched with MUCH better games. COD2 and PGR3 AND YES condemned were all AAA titles. i bought others too that i really enjoy but ppl will laugh at me so i wont list them. yes i really enjoy them as well. sony talked their mouths off and now they just keep fucking up. good for them cuz they deserve it. sonys just pissed at nintendo for their rejection of thier crappy PSX cd player so now they make money off of stealing everything from nintendo. EVERY GEN. it makes me sick. if wannabe football playaz didnt buy 20 copies of madden every year, sony would have bombed years ago. oh how weve waited for this day and it is finally here. suck it sony.

@Wii60_FTW & SGC Glad we understand each other a little more, honestly i can't wait to start playing all the Nintendo classics.........it will be like when i first bought "Sonic Mega Collection Plus".......I played that non-stop. I'am also stoked for a lot of things about the PS3, i can't wait to see what kind of games they can create on a full Blu-ray Disc. i know you too don't like Sony (and im cool with that), but before you start flamming Sony and Their fans again.......i would like you two to actually start stating faqs and reasons why you don't like it. (maybe SGC's PS2 broke down and she doesn't trust Sony anymore?)

<font color="black"> Thanks for the music suggestions, I'll definitely check them out. As for the games, I heard that Nintendo came out, or is coming out, with old-school NES and SNES controllers. That, and the fact that it's NOT a rom or emulator makes it better than any rom or emulator. I've had nothing but bad experiences with roms/emulators.</font>

chocogoomba Averages ARE just that
Author: chocogoomba, 11/27/2006
Wouldn't including games like Happy Feet and Shrek make this a little unfair since just about everybody knows they suck? You would need to compare the ratio of good games to bad, the amount of games released, and diversity to get a good measure on launch quality. Oh, and get a count on glitches and launch recalls as well.

It will fit perfectly there." hahahahah nice. yeah i got BANNED from the forum for making a thread called "sixaxis or sucksasses?" and the mod thought it said shitasses and banned me for a week again lol. no joke. @nin, just dont drop the soap until you know for sure LOL. @dragon, sup. you like jazz. well try downloading anything by Candiria. they are like grunge rock but with a heavy jazz influence. i guarantee youve never heard anything like it. its awesome. get "the c.o.m.a. imprint" or "what doesnt kill you...". coma imprint has some insane-good jazz songs. i dont like jazz, but i can appreciate jazz as a whole, but their song own. CANDIRIA but yeah you shouldnt buy a wii JUST for classic games. i also own ALL nintendo games on my pc. *cough* justroms.com *cough* usb spliced xbox1 controller *cough* XBC drivers *cough* the zelda playing machine is designed for zelda man!

Author: coldcrush, 11/27/2006
There's so much feces spattered around this monkey cage (I think this used to be a feedback forum) that I can't even peer inside between the bars anymore. You clowns fell for this fanboy bait article so hard you probably don't even know what country you're in right now (just like SGC/whatever she's calling herself now, with her bad eastern bloc accent). You guys are basically fighting over an "article" that doesn't even have cited sources for their stats. They surely don't seem to be collecting scores from a large enough sample pool. Bottom line is this: Yeah, it looks like the PS3 has a pretty crappy launch. Most anyone can agree with that. But...uh....pretty much all of the systems listed here seem to have pretty sub-par collective launch scores. Saying that the PS3 is the worst launch is like saying that their KIA is the crappiest car out of all of the rest of the console's KIA's. it APPEARS that the PS1 had the worst console launch review in modern gaming - and look where it ended up. I don't know who's going to come out on top with this generation, but trying to predict a console's demise based on a launch is an act devoid of logic. For some reason, Xbox fanboys seem to be the most guilty of this - even moreso than the Sony fantards. And the Nintendo fanboys/girl? Hell, you people are like fundamentalist Clerics.

Author: Necroserpent, 11/27/2006
All you have to do is compare the amount of time and money that went into the top games with those of the lowest games. Of course Twilight Princess scored high, the whole damn company poured its soul into it for years. I doubt anyone did that for Happy Feet. *lol* Besides, launch means nothing. We all know that the best games usually come out just before the system calls it quits (FFVII being a rare exception).

urugsemagdnakcordrah Mistake again Dragon

I don't hate Jazz at all. There's no way and nothing for what I can hate it. Thanks God that good music like it exists to compensate all the shit that young people listens lately. I'm just not attracted to it with a few exceptions. I just prefer other type of things but respect Jazz immensely. And same goes for Classical Music. And I just hate Sony since the PS2 era, since they became assholes and gangsters, and began it's campaign of world domination. And I will keep hating them until they change their attitude. Same goes for Microsoft, Nintendo or whoever make a mess in the gaming world.

Dragon_Knight22 Ok.
Author: Dragon_Knight22, 11/27/2006
<font color="black"> Sexy_Gamer_Chick, I don't want to argue with you anymore. We just end up saying the same things over and over that boils down to this. You hate Sony, I don't. Simple as that. You and I seem to be destined to be opposed to each other because you said, in another post you mentioned that you hate Jazz, well I like Jazz. Not the old stuff, more like Smooth Jazz, mood music. In everything you like, it seems that I dislike. There is no point in continuing to argue because it won't end. Let's just say that Sony is my Jazz and Nintendo is your Hard Rock. But, as I keep saying that Sony's problems are easily rectified, here's a challenge. I want you to provide a list of the PS3's problems, not Sony as a company, just the PS3. I'll try my best to explain how I believe they can be fixed. It's more of a challenge for me. Trying to keep myself up to date.</font>

Joystiq has updated this article. It now states that there is 420mb per region of padding. http://www.joystiq.com/2006/11/26/resistance-17-75gb-of-garbage/

blackchild1101 RE: emenickc
Author: blackchild1101, 11/27/2006
Thanx for the old news, yes old. Ted Price, CEO of Insomniac, had already stated that Resistance would be around the 17-22 mark. FYI the "padding" that you speak of has been around since the PS1 days. Other then using it for speed reasons it would also contain encryption data.

urugsemagdnakcordrah Wii, maybe the best launch ever
Author: urugsemagdnakcordrah, 11/27/2006
Just having this masterpiece called Zelda The Twilight Princess makes it a winner at launch. Also Rayman and Super Monkey Ball are amazing and addictive party games. Other launches to consider are: -Nintendo 64 (Super Mario 64 and Pilotwings 64) -Sega Dreamcast (Soul Calibur and Sonic Adventure) -Super Nintendo (Super Mario World and F-Zero) -Xbox (Halo, Project Gotham Racing and Dead Or Alive 3) -Xbox360 (Project Gotham Racing 3 and Call of Duty 2) -Nintendo Gamecube (Star Wars Rogue Leader: Rogue Squadron 2, Super Monkey Ball and Luigi's Mansion)

You basically are saying that all systems had absolute crap launch? In that case you're right. Launches never have a crop of real good games. The systems are brand new and developers have yet to really dig into the consoles capabilities. Take a look at what launches came out without a hitch and I'm sure you'll notice that out of the three next-gen systems, Wii came out on top with no detrimental problems, PS3 second with some backwards compatibility and HD compatibility issues, and lastly, 360 with it's power source problems.

I still can't wait to get a Wii! dont' want a PS3 and will be saving up for the Xbox360. The new Battlefield game comes out for the 360 in the spring so I have to have it by then!!

MAConcep00 Bah, numbers.
Author: MAConcep00, 11/27/2006
I guess they gotta do this to keep people entertained. Well, actually, that's not totally true. What I can see with these numbers is pretty much what I saw for every system launch: Since all the release launches average nearly the same score, it's safe to say that all systems pretty much suck at launch. Save yourself the hurt of suckage and just wait until real games actually come out for the new systems before considering on owning one. Besides, number crunching is for wusses. I'll follow Leroy Jenkins' example for this one!

GamerJunkdotNet Your Wii didnt't help
Author: GamerJunkdotNet, 11/27/2006
Even with the added functionality it couldn't help its launch from sucking. Xbox 360 had more diverse selection. Some ugly ports tho like Gun and Tony Hawk. PS3 lineup is just straight garbage.

emenickc READ ME, more Sony B.S...
Author: emenickc, 11/27/2006
1up hasn't reported this yet, but Resistence for the PS3, as Sony & Insomniac claims, uses 22 GB of data, justfying its Blu-Ray format, claiming its necessary for next-gen gaming. Well, joystiq has a veryyyyyyyy interesting article detailing how most of the data on the disk is 'padding files', used to push data to the begning of the disk to make retriving data off disks faster. Blu-Ray is suppose to have equal retrival times through out the entire disk, making 'padding' unecessary. So, 17.75 GB of data on the Blu-Ray disk out of the 22 GB total used for Resistance is crap! I don't own any next gen systems yet, but Sony is doing its best to sell me an XBOX and Wii!

Yes man, I own a 360 too, since launch day. It rules! And yes, if you are in 42 hours of Zelda you will know by now how hard it rules. It owns everything. It's one of the best games in history. And it plays fantastic with the Wii Remote. What do you think? Because Dragon is saying that it won't, but I that own it, can tell that it does, so I would like to know what do you think. And when I beat it I was so amazed by its majestuosity that I'm starting it all over again. And yes, Kawasaki rules man :D

Author: Dragon_Knight22, 11/27/2006
<font color="black"> OK, all you people that think that S_G_C is also the Wii60's, you don't know what you're talking about. I've been dealing with them for quite some time and I know that they are three separate people. It's very easy to notice. You see, unlike S_G_C, the Wii60's have an actual grasp on what we like to call English. They can form thoughts, and spell them out, with accuracy and sometimes eloquence. S_G_C is a little kid learning to use a myspell. In fact, I bet she uses them in her posts. Probably sits there and has the myspell sound out letters for her that she just randomly types on screen. How else do you explain her complete idiocy. Oh, Kawasaki, it doesn't matter to S_G_C if you LIKE the Wii, you have to be straddling a Wiimote before she'll acknowledge you. I myself like the Virtual Console for the Wii because I love the classic NES and SNES games. I will be purchasing a Wii for this reason. Who knows, I may play actual Wii games, but my sole purpose for owning a Wii is the classic games that I grew up on. You can already download Super Mario Bros. and the original Legend of Zelda game, two games that are very near and dear to me and fill the nostalgic moments I'm looking for. S_G_C, I bet you're an only child right?</font>

@Wii60_FTW Ok, i believe that your a seperate person now. The thing that helped me identify this is that you actually sat down and explained to me that your not. If this was S_G_C she would have likely said: "your f**king stupid, suk sony dick and balls you blind sony fag sheep" or something like that................ Your actually in the good books with me now, i have actually read a lot of posts on here..........because i want to get my facts straight before i start calling people out. In your first posts you started out pretty cool, but lately you've been following S_G_C's and wii60_man's path a little too hard............. Please don't stoop to their level, if it is infact 2 people...............frankly i don't think it is. @Wii60_Man At first you actually sounded like a decent person, but at the end you just proved that you and SGC are one. Who else explodes into random insult like that? also i can tell that your her/him because like SGC you don't read all of my post............because if you did you would have realized that i Like "ALL CONSOLES". Im actually pissed off at 1up for not having on the second wii launch data like they had for the 360 and PS3. Also i can't wait for the Wii to have downloadable classic NES & SNES games. And one last thing, Gears of War is the most addicting game since Battle Field 2: Modern Combat.

Hahaha, you're not that smart pal. Wii60_Man and Wii60_FTW are totally different persons. That they once fought here in the forums about their name just proves you that. The only ones that "MAYBE" are the same person, is these guys paid by Sony to create hype here. I'm talking about ghost_7, Kawasaki, TheKingOfNothing and some other faceless people, without any pics on their profiles, friends, blogs, etc. Sony do the same in the movies forums. They were caught there. Sony even paid one cinema "critic" to do positive reviews to some of their movies, like A Knight's Tale, but fortunately he was discovered. So come on Emanuel, we still think that you're smarter than Dragon_Queen22. Don't disappoint us. And yes, Nintendo and Sega rules!!!!

I dont even think she owns halo (and i cant stop talking about it). now wii60_man and i have had our problems but we worked it out and are now on the same page. BTW, SGC, "And who told you that the majority of people spend their money in the best things? Who tought you that the people make exhaustive analysis and research before spending their money? How told you that they read consumer reports before spending daddy's hard-earned money? No man, lots of people spend their money based on other things. Many kids want to have what is "cool" and what their neighbors have. What their classmates have. The mass consumer mostly spend in what 1) is more advertised and 2) more trendy and hyped.

Sexy_Gamer_Chick, urugsemagdnakcordrah, Wii60_man, Wii60_FTW Are all the same person, if you look closely enough you will see that they all seem to post within the same time frame (which is usually 10-20 minutes). Also they all have the same visions, ideas, and claims...............not to mention they all have the same grammer and writing styles. When you have an arguement with all of them or if you even read the arguements they have with other people.....all of their statements sound similar. and just to let the fanboys know, i own a PS1 and PS2 and i have never played "Ridge Racer".......Grand Turismo all the way! Project Gotham is pretty sweet as well.....but thats an Xbox title............see when you own all consoles you get the best of both worlds.

If I was going to call him a moron, for which I have no reason to, I would have in a post directed at him. Nothing you have said is the truth period. I have never attacked you, and I defy you to prove otherwise. You can't because it hasn't happened. Oh, and if you think that I defend GBF, you've got another thing coming. I can't remember a time where I have spoken to him, and I certainly don't talk about him. Oh, and don't you remeber that time where you mentioned something dispicable he had done and I agreed with YOU? I can't help it if people agree with me, no more than you can with people who agree with you. No one can help how they feel. One can decide who they choose to side with however, and this was never supposed to be about sides until she made it about sides.

Nice way of finding only 1 person who vaguely agrees with you even though their names aren't mentioned. Please, get your facts straight moron." That was from your post entitled "And?" which came right after polyh3dron's post... who knows, maybe you were attacking Wii60 again. Either way, deal with it. Funny how that's the thing you attacked me on and not any of the other items I called your ass out on because all the others are true. Also, I must call you a bold-faced liar on your comment that you have never attacked me. Because you have. Yeah, so I defend SGC, so what? You defend GBF... I defend my friends, right or wrong because, well hell, what kind of a friend would I be if I didn't help them out? Someone calls out my buddy in the streets and I will have their back, doesn't matter if my buddy was the one that fucked up or not. Words, fists or water pistols, it's all the same to me.

Dragon_Knight22 Definition of Mainstream
Author: Dragon_Knight22, 11/26/2006
<font color="black"> Mainstream is, generally, the common current of thought. It is a term most often applied in the arts (i.e., music, literature, and performance). This includes: * something that is not out of the ordinary or unusual;* something that is familiar to the masses;* something that belongs to an identifiable genre, such as detective fiction, horror, fantasy, or science fiction. Now, you see that it states that it is generally the common current of thought correct? So then tell me, oh ye masters of knowledge, ye paragons of electronic gaming intellect, what is it that makes something mainstream. Everything has a beginning, even mainstream entertainment as you believe that Sony is. So, if the people don't make something mainstream by purchasing, talking about, and/or utilizing a product, how then does it become mainstream? Only a fool can't see that the sales of a system are as close to being the general consensus of how well a product is doing as anything else. The sales of product determine that X amount of people decided that said product was worth spending their hard earned money on. When that number reaches a certain point, that's when it becomes mainstream, but only when it grows. If the PS1 and PS2 are as horrible as you would have everyone believe, there is no way that Sony's consoles could have become mainstream. No one would have purchased them. The fact that you think that Sony consoles sold because they are mainstream only shows that you don't know what mainstream is and how something becomes mainstream. Now you know.</font>

Author: Dragon_Knight22, 11/26/2006
<font color="black"> Normally you're quite an intelligent person, but this time your defense of S_G_C has made you become an asshole. My EXACT reply to polyh3dron was "If that was supposed to be an insult, it was lame. Seriously, don't bother" Now, where do YOU see the word moron? NOWHERE!!!! I've never insulted or attacked you at all because you are quite adept at proving a point without resorting to malicious hate and idiotic posts, but the fact that you would attack me without provocation only proves that you are a hypocrite. You claim not to attack people blindly, you claim that you simply find Sexy_Gamer_Chick funny and don't necessarily agree with her posts and insults. If that's true sir, then why do you suddenly attack me for no reason? Now, you like to say that my responses to her indicate that I care about what she says. Last I checked, I said that I was concerned with her posts, that means I don't take anything she says seriously, especially when she is so adept at proving herself wrong. So, if you are going to continue the self-righteous act, I suggest you practice what you preach, otherwise risk sounding like Sexy_Gamer_Chick's personal slave.</font>

"I never said that specs means quality dumbass. Specs and many other factors.

With TONS of games for the non-gamers, casual gamers and mainstream gamers. Gran Theft Auto rings a bell to you? Dora The Explorer? Lol. And the GC had amazing games, some of the best in history like Metroid Prime, Zelda Wind Waker, Resident Evil 4, etc. but the majority of "gamers", which is now non-gamers, casual gamers and mainstream gamers, prefer quantity over quality, dumbass games of shoot and kill and hack n' slash than masterpieces, and THAT"S WHY the PS2 won in sales.

WE KNOW. "And like I said, I didn't deny anything. If you actually read that article, you would see that said third party goes unnamed. For what reason? Simple, it is obviously a third party that has NEVER liked Sony. Not one that has recently decided that they want Sony to fail. I will say it one last time. " actually read the article? wtf do you think i commented on "Sony made a lot of mistakes this time around. These mistakes are EASILY rectified and learned from. Sony is far from where you say and hope they are at, and your refusal to acknowledge that Sony is more adept at being a success after a period of waiting." EASILY rectified? they have ZERO online strategy. online is NUMBER ONE and they dont give a shit about it cuz "we are sony". fuck em. yes sony does have some sales success after waiting, as you say; yes cuz they steal everything from their competitors. they are a total joke. well guess what? that wont save them this time around. but it sure wont stop them from stealing, as weve already seen this gen, again.

They would NOT create these little war forums if they didn't encourage it!! There is no way in HELL that at least SOME of these people aren't sitting there, reading through all our posts and laughing their asses off at how easily manipulated we are. Look at the title "PS3 Worst Launch Ever" All that will do is entice EVERY fanboy to come on here and argue. Then they "correct" themselves within their article to say that it's not actually accurate in any way shape or form. Too late, nobody got that far, they already started posting as soon as the title was read, without reading 100% of the content. Again, you stated, and I quote: "Why in the blue hell would I or anyone be A) Concerned with anything you have to say, since you've proven your intelligence by proving yourself wrong TWICE!!!" Obviously, you think quite a bit of what Uru writes because you are responding to him/her constantly. If you didn't think anything of it... you would... oh, I don't know... NOT WRITE! OOOOH yeah, and while we're on the subject of being civil... polyh3dron wrote in response to the article. Then you respond to him and at the end call him a moron!! FUCK YOU! He was quite eloquent, spoke his piece and never insulted anybody and you fucking insult him? Because what? You disagree with him? Go to your corner and put on the dunce cap you jackass. I think it's funny how you, GBF, Kawasaki and TheKingofNothing are all hanging off each other's balls. Go have your orgy somewhere else, k? I don't want to see this cybersex shit and masturbatory congratulations crap on these forums, it's quite disgusting.

I never said that specs means quality dumbass. Specs and many other factors. And if developers supported more the PS2 in the previous generation it was not because it was the best system you pea brain, it was because it was the more "mainstream" system. That's it. With TONS of games for the non-gamers, casual gamers and mainstream gamers. Gran Theft Auto rings a bell to you? Dora The Explorer? Lol. And the GC had amazing games, some of the best in history like Metroid Prime, Zelda Wind Waker, Resident Evil 4, etc. but the majority of "gamers", which is now non-gamers, casual gamers and mainstream gamers, prefer quantity over quality, dumbass games of shoot and kill and hack n' slash than masterpieces, and THAT"S WHY the PS2 won in sales. Now if you can't understand that fact you will show all of us how imbecile you are. C'mon, show us. Enjoy playing Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire in your PS3 LMAO!

There are a lot of factors that determine the success of a launch, not only the average review of launch games. The PS3 launch was such a joke. At my local Best Buy, about 30 people were lined up to buy one, and all but ONE planned to sell it on eBay. Thanks alot, Sony.

<font color="black"> Actually, I did mention about Sony's flaws and about the SIXAXIS, you idiotic Alzheimer victim. I specifically said that Blu-Ray shouldn't have been included because it adds unnecessary cost to the PS3. I also said that it wasn't needed yet because most people aren't ready to give up their DVD collections yet. About the SIXAXIS, I said that having or not having rumble is something doesn't concern me because I barely noticed it on the PS2 anyway, and that any gamer who doesn't act like a child could care less about motion sensor technology, especially since Nintendo has done it to death in the past. Next, according to you alone, specs determine quality. According to everyone else, specs mean nothing. You can't sell a great quantity of something, if nobody believes (and this includes 3rd party developers) that the thing you are selling is a quality product. I guess that means that you are calling nearly every third party developer and 100 million people worldwide idiots because they bought the winning console, the PS2, instead of the console that went the way of the N64. The Cube was and will always be a disappointment and a failure because Nintendo's strictness and lack lustre first party games drove away third party support. It's a well known fact discussed all over the Internet. I don't know how it is possible for someone like you to survive in the world. I'm surprised you haven't torched yourself or got run over by a car or something, you're just so damn stupid is all. I suppose that there are enough people where you live to take pity on you, and that's how you survive.</font>

urugsemagdnakcordrah Dragon_Queer22 , you became the assclown of 1UP
Author: urugsemagdnakcordrah, 11/26/2006
You're a Sony fanboy man. That's why everybody laughs at you and you became the monkey pet of 1UP. You never said something about Sony's console flaws (the less reliable console on the planet) and its Shitaxis controller. They screwed up with it. Also you say nothing about the ton of shitty games that the PS2 has. And you are the only idiot that keep saying that because Sony sold more in the previous generation, they are the best. No man, sales has nothing to do with quality. Sony is more quantity than quality. Sony won without having the best console. Every true gamer knows that. And you also bash a good Sony competitor, Microsoft, anytime you can. And its games also. And you also dare to talk bad about the greatest developer in the world, Nintendo. You are crazy man. Stop smoking origami paper, it's making you bad for the head.

<font color="black"> Sure you aren't a fanboy. I'll just pretend that your posts don't sound identical to S_G_C's posts and then maybe I can start believing you. I have a task for you. Since I am a fanboy, by your words not mine, I want you to locate posts where I said about Sony what you say about Nintendo. Specifically, that Sony rules all, Sony is flawless and the like. Go ahead and look. YOU WON'T FIND ANYTHING DUMBASS!!! And like I said, I didn't deny anything. If you actually read that article, you would see that said third party goes unnamed. For what reason? Simple, it is obviously a third party that has NEVER liked Sony. Not one that has recently decided that they want Sony to fail. I will say it one last time. Sony made a lot of mistakes this time around. These mistakes are EASILY rectified and learned from. Sony is far from where you say and hope they are at, and your refusal to acknowledge that Sony is more adept at being a success after a period of waiting. Judging Sony based upon its launch has always proven to be a mistake, and when such games as Final Fantasy XIII come out, then you will begin to see the truth. Sony is not to be underestimated, and your lack of foresight is both unsurprising and expected at your level of intelligence.</font>

ATHF_rocks Big deal..
Author: ATHF_rocks, 11/26/2006
people are going to laugh when 360 did bad to at launch like.. overheating problems, not enough consoles at launch... but the ps3 had the same problems.. well the overheating issue is not fully true.. that gundam game is the best selling game for the ps3 in japan.. they like that game.. so even if it did get a bad rating.. it still was the best sold game for the ps3 at launch.. but just give the ps3 longer like the 360 it would make up for what it lacked.. and look at the 360 now.. couldnt been ne better..
