  • PSP support dwindling

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

You must be hanging out in different Apple communities than I am. There's currently a huge amount of upset among fans and developers both regarding Apple's draconian handling of the iPhone app store. I've found myself that the only people more critical of the platform than haters are the fans.

The point, Seek, is that there's no such thing as "winning" or "losing" an argument when it involves opinions. These aren't contests to prove you're right. We're not arguing science here (not like Kup would let us :-)

You're just continuing to be ignorant. The statements that I called you out on contradict factual information; not opinions. This isn't the only post recently where you have been doing this, you made a lot of ignorant points to support your arguments in regards to Disgaea and Kirby Superstar recently as well. When ignorant statements are tied into the core or your argument, then that core loses all credibility; and this lost you the argument.

As long as you're absolutely positive about your stance there's nothing else I can say

Zeus's argument: PSP is better than iPhone because it has a larger screen and a better library of games.

Seek's counter argument: iPhone is better than PSP because it has a higher resolution and what he believes to be a "sharper" picture.

Apples and pears. You're both right and therefore both wrong. The end.

You'd be mad to choose the iPhone over the PSP as a means for playing games at the moment. Whether the iPhone is capable of delivering a better gaming experience is something we might be able to argue about, but right now, the iPhone has no games worth investing any time in.

Actually, you're wrong. It was his supporting points I was targetting; and the argument that those points were attempting to justify was his "0.8 inches larger screen is significant" argument.

Yeah! Don't you know any better? Seek's always right and you're wrong! He wins, contest over.

Zeus, you're acting like a child. Yes, Tessian is wrong because his description of this argument is wrong.

This is the argument in question:

Zeus wrote:Sorry, 4.3". Still, you're talking about a 25% increase. When they're that small it makes a huge difference
And this is the post outlining the supporting points I am targetting:
Dutch wrote:Zeus, you already lost the argument with these ignorant comments:

Zeus wrote:.....have you tried watching a detailed movie on the PSP vs the iPod? Oh wait, the PSP is a Sony device which would go against the Nintendo fanboy stance. So of course you haven't.
Zeus wrote:I don't like to have the ability to lick the screen when watching something. I want it on my stomach or further not closer. iPhone's screen is just too small for my liking and my general use as I'm often ripping movies and TV shows onto it.
and now you've added this additional ignorant comments:
Zeus wrote:neither myself nor, I would expect, anyone here would be able to point out a positive remark from you towards a non-Nintendo or non-Apple product when those two compete in the same market as a product from another company.
Zeus wrote:Apple has always marketed to the Apple customer. If you compare it to the competition, you can generally get the same functionality and quality with less flash for 20-40% less.
I'll note, this isn't the first time Tessian has come into this thread making incorrect assessments.
