The following comments relate to this news article:
article published on 3 January, 2009
According to year-end figures provided by Nielsen, it appears that the Sony PlayStation 2 remains the most played video game console, by far. In fact, in terms of "overall usage minutes", the PS2 accounted for just under 32 percent of the total.
Following in the list was the Microsoft Xbox 360 at 17.2 percent and the Nintendo Wii at 13.4 percent. The PlayStation 3 improved to 7.3 percent ... [ read the full article ]

I think many here would like to thank you for your stand against this type of abuse.

Yes you explained your "point" but that doesn't make it true,
No what makes it true is that 1. you cant prove my FACT wrong 2. you dont have enough character in you to accept humulity b/c if you google those numbers it will prove that i am not talking IMO. I speak the truth.

So go right ahead and make your little quips, slighted insults & closed minded comments about me or certain FACTS that are actually true. So while I am the one getting singled out (by some, as usual) I will just re-iterate this
Quote:It's okay though, I like the challenge. When it's all said and done the "I told you so" will be that much sweeter ;)
1. You actually singled yourself out by not accepting humility and admitting the masses play console versions over PC version.
2. I think this to be the sweetest as you have no info to back up your OPINION and make it a fact. Meaning i have taken your "I TOLD YOU SO" and locked it away.
3. Stop posting on the subject if you cant swallow your pride ,it make you look bad and tarnishes your reputation.
I really expect some type of disciplinary actions like a suspension or something rather than Oner swalling his pride and learning humility. That would be a true abuse of power as a admin. Its kinda like after playing a good basketball game with lost of trash talk and then the other guy doesnot have the sportmanship to shake your hand after he has lost. Dont worry though i am finished with the subject of laying down FACTS that are hard for you to swallow.

Why is it "propaganda" whenever I have an OPINION about what I believe when I say ANYTHING? Why is it an issue when I post FACTS (not half truths as you say). Why is it I am the ONLY one with a different outlook when it comes to Sony's standings in the games market. Why is it there are ALWAYS more misinformation against than for and when I post FACTS I get lambasted, ostracized and singled out?
WTH is up with that? I honestly don't get it. False information that gets proven as WRONG with sources, links, documented valid & verifiable proof and I get no end of $#@! for it?!?! Amazing. Really. I could understand you don't like hearing it from me but the information is true...so I get labeled a "fanboy" (of which is a bann-able offense but I would be wrong if I did so right? ~ double standard yet again)

So did I.. In fact I thought it was an agreed point with staff that moderators would cease and desist from biased pro or anti posting in any of the news topics.
I don't know where you got your "information" but there has been absolutely nothing said to that effect. I currently have open in a separate tab EXACTLY where you beleive that is said. And while it does make very clear to not engaging in heated debates or trolling. That is VERY different from what you where lead to beleive.
I am just like ANYONE else here with an opinion on topics and matters. ESPECIALLY when they are false or misinformed. EVERYTHING I say has been backed up by facts, sources and such. Just because YOU don't like ME doesn't make what I say "fanboy". The only ones who got "caught with their pants down" are those who are SEVERELY mistaken (and not just about the PS3).
As I explained before why is it ALWAYS an issue when I post? Because I give VERIFIABLE information that shows truth? Or because it's just "me" posting? If it is the latter then someone is taking it personal, instead of trying to discuss the FACTS or at the very least because they can't say anything against those FACTS I get attacked PERSONALLY. EVERY time. Which brings me to how you (and others) consistently try to call me out because you don't like what I say specifically. Seems a bit biased if you ask me.

And also certain points made by members of staff concerning abuse of powers and positions. UNLESS you can point to a specific breach of a rule.. and be prepared to prove what that is.. and I will take this opportunity to remind you "not liking somebody" or "not agreeing with what they say" is NOT a valid reason to ban somebody.. then you are exceeding your powers and authority.. and riding roughshod over the rules.
Just because you might not "like" a post made by certain members.. that does not give you the right to ban them.. as you have repeatedly done to certain members with no justification other than to protect your precious sony from criticism. That is against the whole ethos of allowing an open discussion, and very close to a serious abuse of the site aims and objectives re - freedom of speech.
Here is some information of which you seem to be omitting when trying to cast me as "the bad banning without reason moderator guy" (of which I already addressed earlier but you somehow overlooked that...)
http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/5/728982#4438831
I get INSULTED with blatant false accusations. PERIOD. The specific rule of which that was violated was
Quote:
6. No foul language, insults, personal attacks or otherwise rude messages.
It cannot be ANY clearer than that.

If anything in the above post can be seen as personal abuse, rather than a statement of the situation as I see it regarding the matter then.. how and why is it abusive (under the terms of the rules)
So now a PERSONAL PREFERENCE somehow gets relegated to a commercial interest! Seriously that is outright BS. I will stand by my convictions no matter what just to show how wrong you are....
It seems people are again making ASSUMPTIONS as to where I stand. It seems to have been forgotten how I got my moderator status here over 7 years ago. This will clear that up and will show I am not "commercially tied" in some weak attempt to discredit me.
If I was "all about Sony" then why would I have EVER made one of the most COMPREHENSIVE tutorials on the net (that was also stolen by PS2NFO without credit I might add) about how to copy/backup/boot/mod/chip/bypass Sony's DRM on the PS1 & PS2 (just to name a few) and I would do the same for the PS3 when that time comes as I have done for the PSP as well! I could go on giving more proof but I won't. It's not even worth it. This whole situation has left me with disgust as to peoples BASELESS assumptions of which somehow has grown into a PERSONAL attack on me (again). When all I have EVER done is offer HELP and FACTUAL information for absolutely nothing more than a THANK YOU & because I honestly like to help people who have problems or questions. Some people REALLY need to shut their mouths, do some research and THINK before they speak, because they don't know a damned bit about me or what I have done in the scene. All of which I could NEVER have done without aD.

The same applies to those who have a consistent track record of attacking others instead of their posts (as clearly evident).
But it also seems you (amongst others) have a habit of violating this rule time and time again
Quote:
14. If you see a post that violates any of these rules, please report it to our moderators using the "Report an offensive post" link. Do not play the role of a moderator if you are not one. There is absolutely no need to nitpick on the posts of new users. Let the moderators do their work.
But you don't see me enforcing that one do you? Or am I still biased? :rollseyes:

I'm done with trying to explain it LX. The #'s of which you ask for are not indicative of what is reality because of Piracy alone. So fine, you are right in the fact that SALES show one thing, and that is supported by what you said.

So because I offer my OPINION along with facts attempting to clear up consistent misinformation (Sony has no games, Sony sales are poor, Sony has no exclusives etc. etc. etc.) I should be disciplined? Whatever. I see there is no point in having ANY discussions with you about anything, anymore.

My post was suppose to comprehend as you would rather oppose some type of disciplinary action on me rather than stepping up to the plate and admitting that my "so called" opinion was more like a fact.
But please lets change the subject. How bout commenting on the topic as IMO the reason that the PS2 is still alive and thriving is d/t
1. continued suppost for the console
2. the overpriced tag that this new era of gaming has bestowed upon us
I think most people feel the gaming industry has taken the price of gaming
console too high as they concentrate more on graphics than just
making a great game with lasting replay value.
Replay value keep me coming back to play Resident evil. Not the graphics. So honestly is the high price tag a console really necessary when a great game with a good storyline and funfactor will be the games we come back to 10 years from now as from time to time we seek vintage gaming. How bout Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony give incentives to developers if they are able to make a game that becomes a classic, or wins game of the year or something. Wouldnot that help with the quality of games as a whole and switch the focus more to making more top notch games like the game of the year, Metal Gear Solid 4?

Then I am mistaken, but after all of which I am dealing with and have been reading I do appologize. But you would never have been banned or anything. Just because we have a difference of opinion does not mean you are doing something "bad" or violating forum rules. It's just that certain people usually make it a personal thing TOWARDS me and not towards my information of which is BS (not directed at you).
That is what I grow tired of, how people act as if they have some sort of "pull" or act like they are somehow staff & moderators themselves trying to "call some shots"...in an effort to get me in trouble. I have been addressed more than enough times and gotten in my share of trouble before here, but one thing for damned sure. I would never willfully or purposefully jeopardize my standing here @ aD. I am a man and have faults just like any one else and I do not believe I am some sort of a GOD as some would be so disillusioned to say and have others believe...

I do agree. Which is why I have a modded Xbox & partitioned PS3 w/Linux for MAME, SNES, NES etc...you can't beat free! But your "replay value and pricing this gen" comment is absolutely key. I also never understood why all of a sudden we have to pay $60 US currently for 360 & PS3 titles? Was there some kind of back room discussion between them or something?
This has actually made me spend LESS for fear of not getting my money's worth (replay value is key here), so now I rent/borrow the ones that are "iffy" before I rush out to buy or wait till the price drops, get it on sale/trade (though that doesn't help the devs) before committing 100%.

The only thing I know they do is drop the prices for their "greatest hits" or equivalent to us consumers...as for incentives to the Devs, that's a good question.

I admit i do the same. I refuse to pay $60 for a game that i havenot at least played once or at least i am sure it will be worth playing from a friend's opinion or something.
Microsoft doesnot get much praise from me as i waited a while to buy the original gears of war b/c the game was old and had sold millions of units but remained $60. A friend actually bought the game for me as a token of appreciation as i helpled him out with support as he battled to clean up his life after being a meth addict. There are something i place more value on than $60.
Anyone know how many game sales are required for a game to become a greatest hit and the price lowered per each different console?

From the Wiki for Sony
Quote:
Greatest Hits titles are colloquially referred to as "red label" (or "green label" for PlayStation titles) referring to the colored band that is added to the packaging to differentiate it from regular releases (which are similarly referred to as "black label"). A game can earn this distinction if it meets certain sales criteria within two years after its release.....
When Sony introduced the program for PlayStation in 1997, games could become Greatest Hits titles after selling at least 150,000 copies and being on the market for at least a year. Minimum sales required eventually rose to 250,000. When the program came to PlayStation 2 in 2002, games could become Greatest Hits titles after selling at least 400,000 copies and being on the market for at least 9 months....
In addition, Sony also allows other publishers some flexibility in the pricing of their own Greatest Hits titles, though most companies stick to the agreed-upon suggested retail price. Games that are multi-million sellers may become Greatest Hits titles much later than 9 months to maximize profits. It is also a common practice for a game to re-release on the Greatest Hits label at a close proximity to the release of that game's sequel or follow-up.
In 2006, Sony extended the Greatest Hits program to the PlayStation Portable. To qualify, a title must be on the market for at least 9 months and have sold 250,000 copies or more. The Greatest Hits price for PlayStation Portable games typically begins at $19.99.
On July 28th, 2008, the program was introduced on the PlayStation 3. A PlayStation 3 game must be on the market for 10 months and sell at least 500,000 copies to meet the Greatest Hits criteria. PlayStation 3 Greatest Hits titles currently sell at $29.99.
And for MS
Quote:
Platinum Hits is a term used to refer to a line of select Xbox games that have sold over 400,000 units on the platform in the nine months after release....
A similar budget range in PAL markets is known as Xbox Classics for GB£19.99 and Best of Classics for GB£9.99. In Japan, they are known as Platinum Collection games and generally cost ¥2800, with the exception of games from the Dead or Alive series, which have been sold at ¥3800. Sales requirements may vary by region.
On September 8, 2006, Microsoft announced the Platinum Collection would be extended to the Xbox 360 platform. On September 20, 2006, at Microsoft's Pre-Tokyo Game Show conference, they announced Platinum Hits for the Xbox 360 in North America, priced at US$29.99 and Classics in the UK for GB£24.99.
Platinum Family Hits are special Platinum Hits that have been designated appropriate for all ages. All current Platinum Family Hits are rated "E" by the ESRB, except for T-rated X-Men Legends, E10+ rated Sonic the Hedgehog, and E10+ rated Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy. As with Platinum Hits, the new suggested retail (MSRP) is $19.99.
Best of Platinum Hits are select best-selling Platinum Hits that have a suggested retail price of $9.99 and a slightly different "Best of Platinum Hits" logo on the package design. Best of Platinum Family Hits are chosen from the Platinum Family Hits line.

Forget if I mentioned that in the last post, but we are going BACKWARDS in terms of pricing for games.
I remember when the PSX came out, and the appeal for CD based games nearly killed the cartridge-based N64. I can remember Genesis, SNES and N64 cartridges in the $70 range, PSX and Dreamcast CD games where in the $40-50 ballpark. Jump to the PS2, GC and Xbox, and they raised to $50, and now $60... unless you want to fork out $200 for Rock Band!
In the time span between now and then, where more software has been sold (larger profit to devs) and more consoles have been sold (larger installed base.) You may argue that dev costs are higher, and there is a larger barrier to entry than before, but I call bs on that!
We live in a time with less original idea (IP) and more sequels and rehashing. Many games ship INCOMPLETE or BUGGED. They are pressed on DVD media (or BD, I know, I know) and stuffed with paper advertisement, and IN GAME advertisement.
The cat has gotten fat with multiple Tony Hawk clones, Madden rehashes, and "Part 4" titles and we've allowed it by handing over our dollars for the same old crap! Yes, I want "some" sequels, but please don't sell your soul for a short campaign a la Halo 3 or an online ONLY version of SOCOM. These are incomplete games compared to the originals. It's ridiculous!
On the other hand, PSN, Live and VC versions of games are kicking butt with low prices, small footprints and easy distribution. Just look at Street Fighter HD Remix, or Mega Man 9. Heck, even Super Mario Bros. is still selling strong and it's 25 years old! For the cost/risk ratio, I'd gladly pluck down a fraction of the cost for any of these games than chance a larger purchase.

I have been reading this and a few other news threads with interest. It's amazing how many 'newbies' and 'junior members' just post in this section and attack and abuse other posters, one mod in particular.
But then again nobody is going to spend their time creating lots of accounts just to pick on people are they? I mean it takes a whole five minutes to create an account to look like someone else is backing up your position doesn't it? ;)

Oner, nothing against you or the help you hane given here or elsewhere. It's just in every forum about video games you are alway's posting about how ps3 is doing fine and it might be, if not now then later;). Alway's throwin figures at us and standin your point(which is good) but even in the 360 news articles? Just let them be and pick your battles. Don't need to push your opinion on everyone. and by the way the ps2 was a good machine(even though i went through 3 of them) and if i didn't sell my modded one for a 360 i would still be playin it(still got my modded original xbox though ) and i plan on buyin a ps3 when the prices come down. not rich ya know!

It seems you have enough in total (going by a quick search) so the only thing I could say it would be is that maybe it's an issue with the code or that it is the same as the safety valve since the News is actually a seperate link that is also tied to a forum area? Either way you seem to only have 17 in other areas on the forum. Try posting a couple time in various other threads to see if we can confirm this to be true/so.

That's quite odd, considering the majority of mine are in the news section as well... and until now, I never looked up my post total, not that I cared after the time restriction was posted, but I "should" be a senior member now! LOL

I think if someone has a problem with another member, mod, staff member etc. it should be taken to PM and get the target of the topic stay on course.

If we are allowed to argue our oppinions then I think mod should be allowed to... They were regular members once before right?
Anyways for the PS2 thing do they count people that play PS2 games on their PS3? I still play San Andreas on my PS3... lol

Thank You Loco, but the honest truth is I don't get that courtesy. For some reason it is always becomes something personal towards me (consistently by certain people) instead of towards the topic/issue at hand. Instead it always reverts to "how can we discredit, ban or get Oner into trouble"...and as of late it is because they are mistaken or have been mislead to beleive some false information about moderators "barring themselves from posting on topic such as this". You, I and the rest all know that is not what the big man made clear.
I'll go out on a limb here and say I know that I can post quite vehemently at times but nowhere as much as people make it out to be. It just gets under my skin when people post blatant, outright misinformation and when they are proven wrong by verifiable facts I get cast as a "bad moderator" that has a hidden agenda with some ties to Sony!...talk about needing aluminum foil caps. Whatever. If need be I will have no issue with the powers that be to prove how certain people have got something out for me....again with verifiable facts and their documented misinformation.
I love aD too much to give ANYTHING up without a fight (especially when all they have is BS false accusations as described above). And if anyone truly knows anything about me, that would be I don't roll over when I believe in something I hold dear or when it comes to my character.

We are always posters, contributors, helpers & information givers at heart but we have been offered the ability to also moderate. I don't see how anyone would have been lead to believe something different when all my information shows something TOTALLY different and right from the horses mouth too.

I would like to know that as well, but would guess the Neilsen ratings would account for that. Wouldn't it? As it would be quite clear that they are using a PS3?..? But that is a good question and could be a grey area.

Both ways are equally ineffective from my experience

My opinion is this; effictiveness aside why should a thread be somewhat polluted by banter. I personally think handling it the way LOCOENG stated would be the appropriate course of action.
