That is true. However as someone who waited and watched their "TV TV TV Sport Sport Sport" reveal there's no chance that I'd buy their console. It was like going to a see a tennis match and arriving to find out that it's actually a darts competition. And when people complained they say that everyone wants darts and if you really want tennis there's a TV with tennis in the corner.

Just my opinion though.

Definitely understandable. It always comes down to games for me. A console's reveal could be an hour of someone picking their nose (lol) but if that console has enough games that I want then I'll more than likely get it.

I thought E3 2006 was terrible for Sony but I still wanted a PS3 at the time due to the exclusive franchises/games I loved on the PS2. That was until news came about many games/series I loved either going multiplatform or getting pushed/released pretty late in the gen (Tekken, Virtua Fighter, Gran Turismo, Sly Cooper, Socom, etc.). I just stuck with my 360 and Wii at that point.

He lost by an even bigger nose during his days as an engineer!

Oh man, there are no words for that first page, WOW!

[fantomena]

This thread, omg.

 

[Journey]

No....

They're talking about sales.

This quote is also about sales.

Context... Its a difficult thing!


Speaking of which, he also goes on to say that VR/AR could turn things around, so isn't he saying "by a nose" by the end of the generation?

 

[Lightning_Roller]

You guys delivered on that first page in spades!!!

 

[Percy]

Just saw this meltdown on a different site.



No not mr X media.

Almost choked on my bagel reading this. Hilarious level of disconnection from reality going on. Like, John Rambo tier inability to function without a war to fight.

... You definitely need a nose for these glasses. Maybe he wanted to state that and was mistaken.

 

[Pankratous]

Beautiful thread.

 

[Windom Earle]

First page is the reason I still love this place.

[julzillamilitia]

Sorry for crappy-shopped calipers scale.

world class

 

[Ferr986]

Dat first page. Thank you,GAF.

 

[Zing]

So, if PS4 beats Xbox by a nose, then that sales chart is showing the Xbox only beating Wii U by a nose.

Wii U just needing to "hit its stride" confirmed.

 

[boredandlazy]

For something so low brow, it works on many levels.

You know GAF is ruining (and ruling) your life when you get kicked out of the library room for laughing too much loud.

Bravo.

 

[omonimo]

What should mean by a nose?

 

[Bousf]

I'd like to see the "nose" between PS4 and XBO........pretty majestic, I suppose.

Also, I applaud the first page xD

 

[gblues]

Yeah, a nose... Maybe if that chart were plotted using a logarithmic scale instead of a geometric one, it would look that way.

 

[Journey]

Yep. PS4 wins "the console war" by a nose.

It's right there, but carry on.

 

[panda-zebra]

What should mean by a nose?

From horse racing - very close finish. Similar to saying "by a whisker".

 

[JetBlackPanda]

That first page is legend.

 

[The Cowboy]

This is by a nose.

It means winning by a very small amount.

Where is the chart showing the end of the console war? I can't seem to find it. To be clear, I think the trend will continue throughout, but I think that's what he meant, especially when he said VR/AR could turn things around.

 

[Apathy]

[Muzicfreq]

Yup.

 

[jaypah]

He's being diplomatic but he knows the xbox isn't going to close that gap. We know it. In their hearts even the most staunch xbox fan knows it. Could you imagine? Like, literally try to think of a series of events that would lead to the xbox overtaking the ps4. It would seriously have to be the most insane plot twist in the history of video games. The xbox is a fine console and it'll have a ton of great content but it's going to end in a distant second place saleswise.

 

[Respawn]

All those wonderful pinocchio post then this LMAOOO

 

[Lucreto]

I see that image as a Xbox Fanboys response. All you need to to put an Xbox pin of his shirt, or a flag in his hand.

 

[Methamatics101]

 

[TheJoRu]

LOL!

That is most likely the most incredible first page I have ever seen.

 

[Oppo]

Did they screw up the quote? I remember the quantum horse race as "no fair, you changed the outcome by observing it!" Which is funnier.

 

[Respawn]

Oh shit lol

 

[slavesnyder]

All these second-class citizens... Makes me sad.

 

[panda-zebra]

This is by a nose.

It means winning by a very small amount.

And it's the smallest possible winning margin in horse racing next to a dead heat.

So it's, as someone mentioned, a diplomatic comment to make.

360 and ps3 might be a more apt race to attempt to call by a nose at this point.

 

[Apathy]

Think you might be remembering it wrong. I'll check later but I've always known it as this and the infosphere wiki has it the same

 

[Respawn]

Seems correct.

lmao damn. I'll be laying next to Super_Cobra at the funeral

 

[panda-zebra]

It's what makes it funny, so I'd hope you are right.

 

[Mahonay]

I didn't know Sarah Jessica Parker founded Xbox!

Dead.

This whole thread is getting my weekend started right.

 

[djshauny]

LOL

 

[TheSlySoul]

Seems correct.

This image should headline E3.

 

[Trojan]

Ruh roh, here comes some hard data!

EDIT:

I just died when I saw the witch nose picture, brilliant

 

[nib95]

That other Pinocchio's nose isn't big enough.
