The Video game industry is serious bussiness. Men in suits are in charge of a billion dollar market and what is their successful market strategy you ask?
It's all in the tongue. In an ingenious strategic move, Sega sent press analysts and retail stores a postcard offering condolensces with the following message "Our deepest condolences to Sony on their PS2 shipping difficulties."
Have a look at the image on the postcard, it is necessary so you get a clear understanding of the pain and sympathy Sega felt for Sony's problem.
The postcard also featured in Gameweek magazine and on a billboard truck which drove around San Francisco and lingered outside Sony's Metreon shopping center, home to the only Playstation store.
This just in, Sega's daddy is in fact stronger then Sony's and does drive a police car.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) onJust to set the record straight...Consoles CAN outdo PCs at games. How? Because they ONLY DO GAMES! Everything is tightly integrated and specialized.Want proof? The PSX is a 200mhz system with 16mb RAM and a 2x cdrom and no hard-drive. Now try to find a PC with those specs that can do 1/4 of what a PSX does!

Submitted by Gogeta-ssj4 (not verified) onMy opinion on this subject is, the **** consoles will never be better than a PC, unless maybe they change the console into something else... The PC's get upgraded every 2 or 3 months, and will always be better... Now compare that to how often a console comes out, and how it runs and sh*t. Not good, cuz see, the PC would be twice if not more better than the console. Sure, they might add some cool stuff to the console, but the PC out does it w/ flying colors... But then again, what do i know?...

Submitted by ranjoy (not verified) onYou all suck. PSX has a 33MHz chip with 2MB RAM! The only reason it runs games is because it was designed to and because developers tweak their code to suit the consoles needs. Consoles suck ***. PSX and N64 graphics are 320x640 res! and PSX2 and DC are 640x480! HOW GAY! CONSOLES F**KING BLOW!! I'd like to see you plat Half-Life: Counterstrike on a PSX2 with a gay controler! hahahaha! consoles blow!

Submitted by adam (not verified) onthe xbox is just microsofts way of continuing with their world wide domination. Sure the xbox will be big, but can we just sit here and let sony, sega and nintendo be beaten by the Microsoft giant? if that does happen prices of consoles will dramatically increase and knowing microsoft they will force advertisment in your face throughout the games. microsoft products are unstable and crash the majority of the time. basically we can expect the xbox to do the same. in my hate against microsoft and bill gates, i would like to say that anyone who buys an xbox will be despised by me... that is all.

Submitted by TPolice666 (not verified) onHey, if you want to know how bad the XBox ix gonna be compared to the PC, the guts of the XBox are gonna be pathetic compared to the newer, 2001 PCs. We are probally gonna be at 2.5-3GHz Procesors, 1GBRam, atleast 128MB 3d Accerators (I have a 64MB GEForce2 Ahnialator Ultra right now, that makes the PS2 look like an NES compared to my PC. Heck, I can run Q3A or HL:(Insert mod here), at atleast 1600x1200 resolution) and other things before Late 2001.Look, consoles will ALWAYS be inferior to PCs. A Console is for a poor person. Either that, or they just want to suffer with the bad res, bad graphics and the pure bad quality of consoles. Also, I laugh at the people who play games like Q3A and HL on consoles! First person shooters were MADE FOR PCs! They are basically crap on a consoles!More ranting later.

Pc is Great but tell me this ... how come pc has no decent Driving game! and how come Pc has no Playeble Fighting game ? and how come pc only have advanture games who look like Daiblo (ugly as the mother f**ker) ill tell you why .. to rogram on a pc is so freaking easy that thay do this all sleeping and forget to implant AI so it looks like this > the cars move like Boxes on the road the fighter move like popets and the advantures well are like reading a book and nothing more then that so all you punks saying that pc is Top notch are totaly wrong and dont know squat about gaming. i use my PC for (INTERNET) Games only cos consoles dont handel that Yet (lol) the only game that is supirior than what ever console game is UNREAL TOURNAMENT the rest well are just plain old master system (nintendo 8 bit) games looking a bit nicer but with the same AI (arteficial inteligensPSsorry for the writing .. i suck writing english ..but who gives a f**k you all know what i whant to say
SEGA mocks SONY
Submitted by TPolice666 (not verified) onDigital smoke, please, take an english course.But I get what you are saying. PC Programmers are idiots. Well, without PCs, you wouldnt even have a console! And a PC can slap around your lil consoles like a redheaded stepchild. And there are decent driving and fighting games for the PC (Well, not fighting like Tekken [CRAP] and Virtua Fighter, but some other ones) are hard to find. Like the Need For Speed series is pretty good. Plus how do you know realism for racing! Have you ever driven a Mustang (Not riden in one, but actaully drove one at racing speeds of 100km/h+)? Probally not.But PCs will always be better than consoles. Why? After 2 years, if we hate the guts of our machine, we can UPGRADE to make it better. Also, we can get better framerates (Consoles max out at 40FPS on atleast 90% of TV/Consoles/I forgot which one), Better internet, and also, we can speak english. But a major advantage is that with a PC you can do alot more than a Console. Example(s). Can you do word processing, CD Burning, or play Q3A or UT with more than 12 people on a console? NOT!And also, some PCs made by dell are pretty cheap to get now, so maybe instead of trying to get a PS2, just get a PC. A BleemPS2 will come out within 1-2 years. Also, another thing. Can you update a game with patches if the producers fogot to add something with a console? HECK NO!

Submitted by Freshy K (not verified) onThe PC shall kick all console **** soon.What I realy hate about console users is that when something gets ported from the PC to the console, they always say that the game is better on the console because of higher polygon counts. Well not **** sherlock, the PC version of the game was made before the port so it has to be better graphicly after the port.

Submitted by Daev (not verified) onYo, DigitalSmokedo you realize what you are saying?You are describing all of the ways in which comsole are becoming like PCs. (patches, download free games)That RTS game you talked about, that has been in planning for PC for a long time and it comes with a beeper that you are paged on (if it wer on your cell i know i would be annoyed - intterupted calls and can't turn off)Personally, i think this console conversion is a bad thing. The best thing about consoles it that the games (atleast the good ones) don't need to be patched and you don't have to wait for it to turn on, doesn't run slow... etcDon't get me wrong, I love my 700 MHz Thunderbird, i just hate patched games. If console developers have a way to put patches on their games (which would take memory card space wouldn't it?) then they would have no reason (except b/c they are just damned wonderful) to put out full games. How many games are there on the market today that run perfectly right out of the box?I mean Sierra On-Line has put out a beta of a patch!!!I think that downloading capabilities should be kept for PCs and console internet should be reserverd for multiplayer.

Submitted by Cereal (not verified) onEveryone goes on about how the new consoles will make the PC look like a snail with its shell nailed down but the fact of the matter is that all the "Next Generation Technology!!" in consoles only throw polygons around in REALLY low resolutions. Has anyone ever tried running Unreal Tornament in 640x480, 32bit Full Detail on a 1GHz+ PC and you get about 110FPs (at least).Lets see your Playstation 2 run Unreal Tornament in 1280 x 1024 32bit Full detail at 60FPs then.Thought not, Nuff said.

Submitted by DC-Masta (not verified) onCheck this out guys, for the statistics: Both p2 and DC is capable of the same quality ... the only advantage of the P2 is the "$h1tty" DVD player and that it is a newer Console, which means it is a little faster , BUT both of these consoles are 128 BIT / which quite frankly, the P2 can't go beyond that nor can the DC .. this makes the 2 consoles, almost equal, other than one is cheaper by more than half, and has over 48 more games than the other.. that would be the Dreamcast, I like my dreamcast and am not trying to buy a P2 anytime soon.
