Saturn vs PlayStation

[tomaitheous]

In terms of marketing the Playstation was targeted at a 21-25 audience. Certainly in the past ten years video gaming has become a much more adult orientated medium.

The SNES always seemed more childish than the Mega Drive. The Mega Drive was a black box that featured a super cool and fast hedgehog, with attitude. While the SNES was a colourful and pretty console with a fat mascot. The 3D violence of the Playstation also made the console much more manly than the cutesy (is that a word?) SNES.

Playing the Playstation does make you into a man. It is the modern equivilant of wandering through the jungle for a week and returning with the body of a large animal to feed your tribe.

Haha - I hope you were being sarcastic about that last part. Otherwise you sound like the typical brain dead American consumer who buys into that marketing/image crap (I know your not from US) - no offense of course

And BTW - violence doesn't make you a man.

I was a man trapped in the body of a boy.

Ah, so playing Genesis made you feel like a big man.

Very true, eating raw animal flesh makes you a man.

How many nerds did Kirby inspire to stand up to their bullies?

Sony made the Playstation intentionally easy to chip or use a game-shark to play copied games.

Is that why they removed the parallel port in the back that was used for the original Game Shark and mod chips?

[Mecha Pon]

Yes just after the Saturn died commercially.

How many kids did Sonic and Tails inspire to grow up to become heterosexuals?

Sonic and Tails aren't gay.

Sonic's just a pederast. There's a difference!

Yes just after the Saturn died commercially.

But it succeeded in Japan.

Many more than that floating pink bubble.

I thought those red sneakers looked familar.
