Good lord, Randy. Here, let me make it a little clearer:
Yeah, and those console versions of the game on a handheld are precisely why the PSP is a dud system in my opinion, too.
Ok, so you have a different definition of "dud" than used by the majority. A "dud" is a deployment failure. Whatever the yardstick you use, the PSP is factually not a "dud" system, your opinion notwithstanding.
You do realize that everything posted on a video game forum is opinion, right? Especially moronic comments about how Nintendo is turning a new leaf and unveiling THIS system in a conservative color that's not flashy like gray, black, or white.
Not everything is opinion, and that means you don't get to be right just because you are you. Either A: Nintendo has gone off it's rocker and given absolutely no thought as to how the configuration and the associated added cost improvements of the 3DS have priced it out of Nintendo's current, long held market segment, or B: they are attempting to break new ground. I gave you a number of indicators which show pretty clearly that the latter is much more likely, but you latched onto the smallest and least significant one, because you could find argument with it. And even I only mentioned it because someone else here noticed it and felt strongly enough about it to add it to the list of things which he did not like about the system. These decisions, even the ones as simple as color, are painfully and tediously considered. If you want to believe that they pulled them out of a hat, that's fine. But when you start arguing in support of those kind of theories, you will find resistance.
How about you turn a new leaf and stop acting like a dick towards your customers?
Jim, you say ridiculously spiteful things like this every time I disagree with your myopic views on the industry. It's old and it's pathetic. Unlike other vendors who seem only to show up when they are pimping something, I come to these forums primarily to interact with folks and lend my insight on topics being discussed, and I have been doing so for a lot longer than I have had a single thing for sale. Frankly, it's more than a little bizarre that you think someone should alter their views so as to give you a "pass" simply because you made two small purchases with them in the past 8 years. I value my customers greatly, but not to the point that the integrity of the discussion suffers. That would only do them a disservice, and I won't do that for you. Sorry.
