Nintendo Against Playstation

[CmdMe]

Oh a wise guy.
But nintendo is aimed at children
sony is aimed at adults
look at the colour in the games..
nintendo tried to grow up releasing resident evil..
but mario, pokemon, zelda - fantasy, adventure
metal gear solid is killing people fighting violence..
I rest my case

*cough* RE is a Capcom game. Metal Gear is a Konami game. You must have Sony confused with someone else, because they don't make games, for the most part. I certainly don't count SOE, since they have a habit of ****ing up everything they touch.

Isn't that what Sony does? Ok yeah, I'm being way too biased, but think about it.

[CmdMe]

Oh, I mean the type of games for sony are like violence..
games for nintendo are erm.. childish?
is that more correct?

[Pilot_51]

If you say "family friendly" is "childish", then yeah. It's generally fanboys of the competition who have that way of thinking.

I know I'm late in the discussion but the people who think that Nintendo games are for children need a kick in the "growler". Seriously. They must be the most self conscious people I know. When people play the mojority of Nintendo branded products they think of the games to be of a childish nature. Take SSBM for instance; when people play it they think "kids colours, must be a kids game" then walk away from it but knowing that it was fun. They won't go back to it because they're too embarrased to play it because it looks like a girly or childish game even though it was a good play. Nintendo = Fun. Sony = a source for stereotype ie. Devil May Cry (heterosexual only/masculinity).

A game should be called childish if it is A) Being made specifically for the purpose of children and children only (see most educational games), or B) If it is extremely oversimplified, such that a child could play it without trouble.

Aww, I think both Sony and Nintendo are pretty much aimed at different, although overlapping markets in some areas.

Nintendo in my eyes would be aimed at almost everyone. Most of their consoles and games are straightforward and they tend to lean towards plain simple fun and life improvement (Ya know, with those Brain Age and finance helping games! XDD) A Wii would be the console to get if you're looking for a different take at gaming or are new to it entirely. A DS would be the handheld to get if you don't want any messyness with having to hook it up to your computer and the like.

Sony on the other hand pretty much releases consoles and all for the gamers who more or less know what they want and have the energy and resources to sit down and fully or mostly use the product. I could be wrong but for me, I usually hear the phrase "I'm getting the PS3 for (Insert game here)!" and I'm one of them! I have never really heard someone say "I'm getting the PS3 because it's a generally good console." O.o

So when it comes down to games, I think Sony just looked at its target market (teenagers, young adults and gamers) and decided to focus more on the "mature" titles. For me, it's less of an issue of who the game is aimed at.

And uh... Devil May Cry has bishies!! XD

On a totally unrelated note, Chuddy reminded me of this!
