Comment on Sony Threatens Mass Bans for PS3 Pirates by Conduit:

Exactly, paying companies to develop a game exclusively for one system has been common practice since the days of the NES, and every console maker does it.

Theres only two reasons that Sony has trailed the competition this generation.

1. The 360 came out a year before the PS3, allowing it to establish a large installed user base before the PS3 even hit the shelves.

2. The PS3 is reportedly harder to program for, so multiplatform games are often poorly optimized for the PS3, making the games inferior to their 360 counterparts.

  AKB isn’t alone, several former idols have stated on record that the entire idol industry is a giant prostitution ring for Japan’s elite. If you investigated the founders and owners of all of the idol talent agencies, you probably find each and every last one of them has Yakuza ties.

  Actually I’d say its the first step in China’s plan for world domination. First they get their population down to a self sufficient level, while at the same time weeding at weak.

In all of the before pictures the girls are looking straight at the camera with a neutral expression, while in the after pictures most of the girls have their heads tilted to various angles and have a much nicer expression. Just look at the girl in the first picture, she has this really wide face, but in the after it looks much thinner and prettier, this achieved by having her tilt her head to the …

• GungHo Worth More Than Nintendo: “Social Gaming Won!”:
  

  Anon0239 Rumble packs were an attempt by consoles to cash in on the PC joystick force feedback craze. So that gimmick was aimed at gamers, not casuals. Further, theres a huge difference between adding a gimmick as an extra feature, like rumble packs, and building your entire game console around a gimmick like motion controls, or tablet controllers.

• GungHo Worth More Than Nintendo: “Social Gaming Won!”:
  

  People bash Nintendo because they claim they want to focus on making gaming consoles and then build their systems around gimmicky bullshit designed solely to woo non-gamers. When Nintendo decides to stop trying to suck the casual teat and actually get back to making game consoles for gamers people will stop bashing them. Well, except for the dudebros, but no one cares what they think.
