of course it seems like nintendos and i bet they really took it from them
basically nintendo has marketed more recently and the ps2 markets but not as bad as microsoft
its good for business- but that is why the xbox is doing well in america- all of its marketing
they dont have the best games but they are marketed so well that only the "coolest kids and teenagers" have the xbox
this may sound weird, but all of this reminds me of fast food ploys
for example-- mc donalds has been around the longest and used to not advertise as much
but then burger king started to copy off of mc donalds-- the big king, the whopper, their kids meals-- all were ripped straight from mc donalds
and that is what led to larger advertising for mc donalds
so i guess marketing is everywhere like that
microsoft is not making the most money- nintendo is- but microsofts marketing makes the xbox seem like the best
hopefully nintendo makes better marketing choices but i feel that i own the best system in the gamecube
and that is all that matters to me- fun games and knowing i made the right choice for systems

Xbox could use some ideas. They're a bit bland when it comes to ideas like that. . . not blatantly bad like PS2, just lacking.

Why would I want to bitch about advertising when I can speed off in the Infernal mobile? I mean, c'mon, this thing has everything. Wheels, a big number 8 on it, and some basic frame work! It doesn't get anymore advanced.
Come Hostile, I know you want your own Hostile mobile. You can even shoot bananas out of your ass when you get your own moblie. Painful, yes, but if somebody else is attempting to fire a turtle shell at you, it can come in handy!
*BUUUUR*

Come, let us race around a haunted track, followed by a lap of a castle maybe?

Twist it however you want, I think the only point of this topic was to get a discussion going about microsoft be evil.
I mean I could say that the gc stole the modem adaptor from ps2, but then they would have had to have stolen online gaming from microsoft, who stole it from dreamcast who stole it from computers. See where this is going?
Post by: mouse_clicker on April 04, 2003, 02:15:59 PM
Jesus, man- think before you make a claim like that. I WASN'T saying that MS is evil or even implying as such. I was simply pointing out the fact MS seemed to pick up a marketing directive from Nintendo, which is kind of ironic (it's like following the blind). I'm NOT saying MS *shouldn't* use the idea and I'm certainly not saying they stole the idea, since it's already been established Nintendo didn't invent it- by all means, I bet this contest will work out just as well if not better for them than it did Nintendo. I was simply pointing out a "coincidence" meant purely for amusement.

Nintendo should have a game tourney like that featuring Pokemon again, or even better, Smash Bros. That would be sweet.

Anyway that would be funny if they actually played those people and then got the asses kicked. Not that I'm some halo master. I've barely touched the multiplayer.
