The following comments relate to this news article:
article published on 13 December, 2008
Citing yesterdays disappointing November hardware sales, CNNMoney has called the Sony PlayStation 3 a "sinking ship."
The numbers show that the PS3 sold 19 percent less consoles year-on-year from the same period in 2007, and CNNMoney believes that a substantial price cut is necessary if the console wants to see a growth in sales anytime soon.
After being outsold 840,000 to 380,000 ... [ read the full article ]

You seem to be taking this a bit personal for some odd reason so I think it is best I leave this alone from here on out. Since it is obvious you only see what you want to without reason. Especially after reading what you said about the differences in the percentages. Even if the PS2's DRE percentage was higher it still would not equal the abysmal numbers the RROD has. I have explained and re-explained my views and how I feel I need not go any further.

Oner,
Im not taking it personal dude im just posting my opinions and having a bit of fun. The everyday grind gets a bit monotonous so im just dicking around. I mean i stand behind my views and all but in no way shape or form am i taking the ongoings of a video game forum personal. I thought i was a friendly debate which tends to go back and forth last time i checked but ahhhhhhhhhhh well never the mind.
But it was a nice touch the whole your going to leave it alone while chucking that last jab at me about seeing only what i want to. See to me its obvious we both have a preference and their made extremely clear to a fault. You provide more links and facts behind some of your views but still end up seeming a bit bias. I on the other hand prodvide mostly obvious facts guised as opinion such as ps3 being in last place. At any rate im not trying to be a problem child so you point is taken...

MAME is short for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator
It is an emulator application designed to recreate the hardware of arcade game systems via software
From simpler Arcade titles like Pong & Pacman on up to more powerful ones like Marvel vs Capcom & any NeoGeo title (King of Monsters, Samurai Showdown & The Metal Slug series) are playable on the DC, PS2, PS3, PSP, Dreamcast & Original Xbox (hacked or via Linux) but the PC undoubtedly has the best support, capabilities & "power" to run them the best.
Check it out man. If you where being serious, there is a lot you need to catch up on!

Here is where I found most of my info and help
You can also send a message to the Youtube poster if need be (though he is on the site I posted above. As I said I am waiting on YDL 6.1 which was supposed to actually be available for download today for free via Fixstars server mirrors but they haven't updated yet :( I am quite anxious to see how much better performance (if any) they have squeezed out of the PS3's vram for swap....

And for that you get 2 days off. If you or anyone else wants to continue with these out right lies and BS insults then go ahead. I have no more patience for it and am tired of the assumptions/false accusations of which are ABSOLUTELY baseless. If you don't agree, then you don't know anything about me or what I have done for the scene early on.
I think my world wide known PS2 tutorial (even being ripped off by PS2NFO) along with all the documented help I have provided in the PS1, PS2, PSP, Wii, Xbox & Xbox 360 section forums here on how to diagnose modding problems and bypass restrictive DRM for fair use; let alone my long standing post history here at aD is more than proof enough.
Do not question what I am about or even ATTEMPT to think you know anything about me. Because you don't know a God Damned thing. This is proof positive of that old saying about people who make assumptions...
Edit: Here are 2 rules of which people need to heed very closely.

it doesnt matter if PS3 is a sinking ship or not. when people like myself can afford it, then we'll get it. if it came with some extra neat feature that we all MUST HAVE, then we'd all make whatever necessary sacrifice to get one. personally, i dont care who outsells the other. i dont care about the 'next gen??' graphics or fancy hi-def quality video. the only thing i care about is great games that i will continue to suck at. but i want them at reasonable prices... i think i already told some people that i would probably not get a ps3 until 2010 because i figure the price will be where i want it to be. i'll miss out on the 'features' that the early models have, but i assume that by the time i get mine, there will be other advances in other areas that will totally make up for what i MIGHT be missing out on.

There may be a small price drop in 2009 because of different hardware.
Sony will be using a new power brick and it will be smaller so the new PS3s (when they use the new power bricks) will be slimmer (by a little bit). So there's a little confirmed news.

LOL you and me both buddy, although I hope that overtime I can get good enough to have the annoying tweens stop trash talking me online.
