Latest Ad From Sony Scorns Nintendo, "Yay, Another Mario Game"

I love when companies go at eachother in advertisements. Should happen more. Nintendo deserves more crap for how few new ips they come out with.

Until Sony or Microsoft does something silly again and the hate swings back to them.

Exactly. Nintendo should have shredded Sony when the came out with the Move.

They could have, but do we really want to encourage everyone's PR department to be slinging insults at each other when they could just be advertising their games/systems?

Why bother shredding something that the public has pretty much dismissed anyway? By even acknowledging that the move is competition probably would have brought more publicity to the thing than it deserved.

Seriously, how many people do you know own a move? Additionally, how many people do you know use the move for more than...2 games?

Good one.
Not spam.

The Last of Us. Just sayin'.

I'm guessing Sony is trying to act like 90s Sega?

Sony can do what nitendon't

I expect a Sony Dreamcast 10 years from now, followed by becoming 3rd party.

Trust me, if the next-gen rumors have any truth to them, everyone's consoles will go the way of the Dreamcast in 10 years.

I think Chuni got thumbs down because people can't handle the truth.

not an unfair comment

Heavy Rain was the best exclusive the system had.

Ni no kuni is currently blowing me away with its awesomeness! Don't what I love about it though, I usually go for the dark gritty RPGs.
Anyways, One of the best exclusives on the PS3 system!

I hope they are giving a free human clone with your purchase of a PS4 for how much hype they're building.

This needs a 'haters gonna hate' meme to it

Those are pretty big words from the company that wanted customers to sell its handheld for them. I think they're threatened because Mario put on his giant shoe suit and is stomping the hell out of the vita. And what's with all the Dreamcast hate? I love my Dreamcast like it's a handicapped puppy!

I don't think anyone here is hating on the Dreamcast.

He may have meant Dreamcast pessimism, placing that console as an example of the possible failed future of Sony/MS/Nintendo on the home consoles field. You know what? Up until the release of the Wii U, I thought that the "mobile gaming is going to kill home consoles" crowd was full of rubbish, but the poor performance of Nintendo's latest console has made me rethink my stance, perhaps we are headed for an Android/iOS dominated gaming future.

Gears of War on my phone?

So war were declared. By the company that lost more money on bad investments (the Vita, the PS3's hideously underpowered hardware, David Cage, a separate seat on flights to press junkets for Cage's ego) than the other two platform builders combined. That company. I'm sure Aëtius would be jubilant just about now, what with victory in sight, and surely Sony, too, will have the good luck of Ballmer dying whilst fighting off Iwata who will then die of esophogeal varices.

What are you talking about the PS3 being hideously underpowered?? Wow take your mouth off of Microsoft's stubby dong and be a little more open.

First, grow up. Second, I'm not some Microsoft fanboy. Their hardware may be less bad (they're both seven years old and showing their age in multiple ways) but it's still bad. 512 MB of undivided memory (better than the PS3's twin 256 MB pools) and a full-sized PC DVD drive (which both prevented a proper heat-sink for the CPU and still scratches discs) in a box too small to fit it are offset, at best, by a more orthodox hardware design which is easier to build games for.

Here's an example; exploration work was done (but never finished, for obvious reasons) on porting ArmA 2 to the X-Box 360. There was never even a serious chance of doing a PS3 version.

I don't think underpowered is what you mean, I think simply harder to work with is and is a legitimate complaint that has a serious effect on the games that do and don't come out for the system. Also I laughed at "stubby dong".

First of all I'm 36. Second of all your post made it sound like you were attacking Sony in a very fanboy way.

The inability to strike compromises as in the 360 (using unified memory allows more interactable-intensive games to push complexity at the expense of visual memory) and an OS with a steep memory footprint (depends on version, but the figures I've been able to gather posit a 50-120MB range, 120MB being the earliest versions) ensures that it is, in practice, less powerful than its competitors. The addition of an unorthodox architecture ensures that software designed for other platforms will be less efficient on the hardware, and software designed for it will be less efficient on other systems (Dark Souls). Both consoles are underpowered but the 360 does have some minor wiggle room for marginal gains.

Hahaha.

Sony is being immature...

Does anyone else notice all Pepsi ads for past 20 years make fun of coke, yet coca cola never said **** about Pepsi? This reminds me of that to a lesser extent

And Coke always been better!

Coke is far too sweet for me. I don't know how people can stand to drink the stuff.

Coke vs. Pepsi =/= Sony vs. Nintendo

Though both battles can make people fat...

Everything in moderation!

COKE ZERO PLZ!!!

Hahaha. I love it when new consoles release.

If Sony can drop the PS4 with a bigger library than what is on the Wii U then they will have room to talk... And this is from a Sony person

Well they already have one title: The Last Guardian... you shut your ****in' mouth and cross those fingers with me! DO IT!

*crosses fingers... totally not like a psycho or anything*

But seriously, I think I'll jizz in my pants if the PS4 launches with Last Guardian and Kojima's little whale project.

One can only hope that they drop The Last Guardian with the PS4 and it's so amazing that it completely destroys any hope for any other console to have a game of that caliber.

Not holding my breath... Haha
