LiquidSolstice Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Good, we're on the same wavelength then and both seemingly know how to interpretate surveys, charts and market research data. I don't know what's more pathetic, the fact that you tried to use immature teenage drivel to insult me two posts back or the fact you're suddenly taking such a formal/supposedly intelligent tone now that you realize everyone has called you out on your never-ending attempts to belittle Microsoft. Good work (and yes, I saw the other thread you made literally 5 minutes after this one, well done sir). Shouldn't you be off in the GT5 thread defending the fact it got delayed yet again or harassing/trolling Forza players? This is a bit outside your daily Neowin schedule, I should think. Nonetheless, when I see threads that are started by Audioboxer, I know what to expect, fear not. Just another attempt to belittle Microsoft, because for some reason gamers have an inept urge to stroke their egos by consistently trying to put down the reputation of the rest. Want to know how to be a gamer? Play the game, don't play the politics. Be above it. And the shocker? Yes, I own a PS3, got it for cheap because the ethernet port broke, and the wifi doesn't stay connected (previous dropped it while moving) but the thing plays Uncharted 1 and 2 just fine and that's all I care about. Because, that's what it's about, the game, none of the other bull$hit. Try it sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singh400 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Flipping heck, I can't take the drama. After all these years of the PS3 and 360 being released some people can't get over the fact that both systems have plus and minus points. Grow up, stop whining, and start gaming.

LiquidSolstice Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 @Liquid... Why do you even care? It's a survey for crying out loud! It's not whether or not I care, it's the real reason Audioboxer is posting it. Take a look through the other threads he's started, many of them are just selected articles that try and belittle the Xbox and it gets boring. Normally I stay out of the Sony Console area but it pops up in the Mini-Spy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you spent as much time posting threads that you approve of in the GH as you do being a cry baby because AB is a "Fanboy" then maybe you'd enjoy the discussions in GH a bit more?

The number of articles you "contribute" (and I use the term loosely) has no bearing on your quality as a news poster or how much respect you deserve. the quality of the stuff you post does. and the quality of AB consists of posting fanboy articles with no substance, whining, posting exploding heads when he can no longer argue intelligently, and calling people xbros when he can no longer argue intelligently, and finding new was out of a whole he dug when he can no longer argue intelligently.

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted October 20, 2010 Author Subscriber² Share Posted October 20, 2010 Matthew Hoppson you stop posting fanboy news on Neowin! :o I forgot that second article I posted actually hit main page news, it is a bit older than the one in the OP.

Kirkburn Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 To summarize: original posted article does not cover a comparable statistic. It's a rubbish one, in fact. The second article Audioboxer posted does at least use comparable stats, but the sample size is far too small. 2,000 random broadband users? How many of them even have consoles? Permanent or temporary connections? It's just not very good data. However, yes - it does show the PS3 to be more often connected to the web which is at least AB's premise. AB, at least recognise that the original topic isn't a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I say that? No. Was I talking to you either? No I wasn't. I don't see any contribution from "Liquid".

Yeah, one look at your sig is all that we need to know why you're defending his posts. Face it, he made a bad thread with terrible statistics and used it to attempt to back up an article and all of this is with no base at all. Oh, but no, it's "informative" and using your head for 5 seconds to think about the legitimacy of the statements being made isn't allowed. Besides, pretty sure I made it clear I own a PS3 because I absolutely love Uncharted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedon Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Post anything about the PS3 excelling anywhere over the 360 and grab the popcorn bag Just like when a post is made about the 360 excelling anywhere over the PS3 :) I love popcorn! BTW, that is great news for Sony. More opportunity for more sales while getting everyone connected. I don't see a negative in the article at all.

It's frustrating when we have a high contributor instantly shot down as a fan boy on here. When he was absent from the GH the place dried up quicker than ever.

Liquid hopefully he will put you on ignore (like me I believe) that way he doesnt even know what your saying about him :D In all honesty, I'm not interested in starting a grudge match, I just A) for once, wish that people would play the bloody game instead of bitching/bragging/$hit-talking the competition, B) want people to realize What AB does and what he was aiming to do with this thread since it's nothing more different than the rest of this anti-360 threads, just a varying level of outright anti-Microsoft attacks. But that probably won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
