you have it all wrong. you're over simiplifying things.. trauma understood and reexplained what i meant in the last paragraph of his post. i cant say it any better than he did. I dont think you're reading posts here properly or aren't able to understand some of the finer points seeing how wide you missed the mark with this one. shallow indeed...
i'll answer one valid point you made. yes nintendo traditionally is for the kid, cutsey market. the homebrew market IMO would be a slightly older range... pushing from 10+ through to college age.
as for accessing the tv.. the place of a PC is in a corner or a room.. only a console garners 'round the tv' support.. i've rarely sat with more than one person around a PC playing a game.. whereas i've sat in a room with up to say 8 people passing round controllers for console games.

Okay I think I get it. Trauma means that you can reprogram original games when burning them and that way have your system play bootleg games. If that's all it is then big fucking deal. That's been going on since the Game Doctor and mod chips are easy to find. If I got it wrong again ten please explain it to me.

One valid point? Here's another valid point; Sony is going to beat the fuck out of the competition once more this round.
Why are you making this personal? Clicking the diss button (I just assumne it was you), and throwing out personal insults. I expect that kind of shit from Trauma, (which he didn't even do in this thread). Selling a system that appeals to programmers is like selling an album that appeals to songwriters and musicians. Neither means shit if you can't attract the common folk that just want to have a fun time. Nintendo has done very little in the past ten years when it comes to attracting the every day fan as far as console gaming goes. They've focused on games that appeal to kids and had a some that appeal to everyone but those were few and far between. The video game market has grown up and Nintendo failed to grow up with it. Sony on the other hand did and it won't be easy for Nintendo to take the market back, if they ever do. For the record, I'm not a Sony fan and have no loyalty to them but I know how to read the writing on the wall. Sony is doing everything better than than the others and they'll continue to come out on top because of the head start they have.
P.S. I have no problem hooking up my PC to a TV and getting USB ports for multiple controllers. Not that it matters since Internet Gaming is where it's at now (another thing I personally hate but know is here to stay). The Sims can still sell 8 million copies legit and if you count pirated games who knows how many people have Quake, Unreal, WarCraft, Starcraft, etc. The PC pirate market is probably a lot bigger than the console one (I don't mean money wise but availability).
Woozie:
2 seperate parts u probably need to have for most games not forgetting a memory card too :o

the big deal is the the "bypass" would be in software.. and therefore wouldnt require hardware mods..
i.e.. its an easier hack..
and yes it is a BIG FUCKING DEAL to someone trying to get software houses to develop for their console if they can't promise a certain level of security.
your final points show you understand piracy to be a big issue since you admit that PC piracy is massive in comparison to console piracy. this is why people want to develop for consoles.. their investment is safer. (not safe.. safeR)
decent mod's chips do often take a long time to come out after console's are released.

no it wasn't me.. you're WAY over reacting.. you came out all defensive and actually ended up showing that you couldn't comprehend (and still cant by the looks of it) the implications of certain things
all i've said was the homebrew thing was a cool idea and that i liked it, i never said it would carry the console saleswise. just that its a cool thing to have... and that i like the idea of the controller.. i'm not going to buy one, i'm not even going to by a PS3 _OR_ an xbox 360. I only have an Xbox coz i was given it.. and if it weren't for xbmc i'd have sold it long ago. as it stands i can't do without it.
if you look back in this section i think xbox360 is far superior to the PS3 and have explained why i think the architecture is a winner. M$ had to get the release day jump on Sony this time round.. its a big risk.. but they're gonna get a lot of unit's in houses this Xmas which will be massively in their favour.
and no.. i still haven't clicked diss... i'm not on some childish petty shit like that
