Anonymous at large never took credit for the PSN hack.

I saw that as well but we all know Captain Spyke of the hms fallacy is going to be livid over that.

as you get past ten yes at that age.  I remember in 7th grade people were making a big deal over having gotten GTA4. the closer you get to that age-group the more you find that the ESRB is a joke

7th grade when GTA4 came out? That explains everything.

They got a full game. It wasn't 1/3 of a game, it was the first in a trilogy. But it was still a stand-alone game. Not saying the whole blame is on Epic Games, but Epic did deliberately hold back features of the engine so they could take advantage of it before others.

but then it wasn't just silicon, meaning the case wasn't justified on their own

Thanks insano

What? It's fact. Hotz hacked the PS3 for no reason other than to hack it. Sony removed the feature he used to do it, a feature which almost no one used anyways. In retaliation, a group of criminals hacked PSN and caused millions of people to not be able to play their games online or buy digital games for weeks.

Point A leads to Point B which leads to Point C.  Point A is indirectly responsible for Point C.

your missing some points in between, the ones i tried to remind you of

umm... no, sony removed the feature because geo had used it to hack the PS3. He hacked it again to find an exploit to bring it back. all he did really is violate sony's tos and he was sued. that is what prompted the anon hack. a year ago actually he explained to sony engineers how he broke in to the system.

360 has superior online play and features. PS3 steals your credit card information!

they both do actually... fifa hacks hello!!

Actually, it's not the same. With the PS3, the hackers got the credit card info from Sony's servers. With the FIFA situation, the "hackers" were stealing your credit card info the old fashioned way. They had to already have some of your personal info, then they would call Microsoft and pretend to be you so they could get the rest. You could do that with anything, Xbox Live and the Xbox 360 had nothing to do with it.

if you're referring to the anon hack you're failing to see the big picture. the PSN hack was meant to attract attention. in most cases malicious hacking is not done in such an obnoxious manner. that said...http://www.destructoid.com/xbox-live-hacking-is-a-very-real-problem-219646.phtml

And the fact the Super Mario 64 is such a huge deal puts the N64 way ahead.

as revolutionary as Mario 64 is it is only one game. it cannot make up for a gap of 18 games.

I think when buying a new console the feeling of a new experience is really important.  Super Mario 64 gave the player the feeling that the N64 purchase was worth it just to experience that game because no other platform offered that type of gameplay at the time.  The Wii U does not have that.

again NOTHING can match what that game did and how much influence it had. that said Nintendo Land does do that sort of thing (along with zombiu)

Tj, we are looking at launch window which adds Lego City Undercover

The Wii U's lineup thus far comes across as unessential while that N64 lineup was groundbreaking at the time and was a huge step up from the previous generation.

we will likely never see anything as groundbreaking as the N64 again. virtual reality might do it for us but i'm not betting on it(and the tech is years off).

GTA IV in 7th grade? Geez, that makes me feel old. I was in 7th grade in 1998/99, 3 years before GTA even became popular.

We talking 7-14 year olds right?  From my experience they could care less for Sports and as a parent you bet I'm not letting my Son play anything rated M that I haven't vetted.

i am close enough to that age group to no that neither of those things happened,
