"I also once saw a man brush off his son's praise for SSBM and suggest he get the Scorpion King instead. And let's not forgot the people who think that every Cube game is made by Nintendo and every Playstation game is made by Sony. Never underestimate the stupidity of people. "
Lack of knowledge, and stupid, are very differant things. This I believe is truest in the video game sector. People just dont know, and this is mostly because they dont care, and have no desire to know. They simply want to play games for entertainment. They dont read reviews, they have never heard of a console war, and nost dont even know that Tony Hawk is a real guy. All this is because they simply dont put any stock into video games, they are simply toys, just another form of entertainment. Nothing more, nothing less. Having shelves full of PS2's and x-box's while the gamecube shelf sits empty is very bad business. Many people who see this will simply assume that Nintendo is done, that they dont sell gamecubes anymore, that is if they even knew about them in the first place. Shelves need to be stocked, advertising needs to be constant, and then, and only then will any of this matter.
