Look I said that 5:1 never looked very likely, loads of people grapsed that and said so as soon as it was proclaimed.

To be fair I don't think it was even fully belieived by the person who originally predicted that statistic, I read it as a bit of op ed to get people to read wotr.

Nah, to be fair, i reckon he absolutely believed it - in fact i know so. Funny old game innit?

Mind you, it must have struck a chord with you, as your avatar is STILL referring to it even after all these years/year!!

You need to go back to around Jan 2004. Here are a few samples

Nice to see HGFB being so positive from back then -

"'Im quite willing to wait and see what Nintendo show us in May. Sure it has the chance to be another virtual boy but just maybe Nintendo might manage to pull a rabbit out of a hat again like they did years ago with the original gameboy.

I have to admit that the idea has me interested."

Good call.

I was surprised to read that I was quite positive about the PSP at first too. But then I probably am one of the biggest tech whores on the forum

Although my PS2, PSP and PS3 are the most underused pieces of kit I've ever owned. The PS3 is catching up though. But only because I'm using it as a linux server.

The Gizmondo was a fine device fucked up by miss management far beyond even sony.

The funny thing is, given Sonys mistakes with the PSP they could have got a chunk of the market from those people not wanting a DS.
But it seems clear those at the top never had faith in it and just saw an excuse for a scam.

Someone stuck with a few ;

This is how totally fucked Sony are - I bought a DS Light last week and I'm *loving* it, even the Mario games.

Me, playing Yoshi's fucking Island 'til 3am on a Saturday. Amazing.

Just for reference if anyone is wading through all my links. This is the thread where 5:1 is first brought up. And brought up again and again with some degree of certainty.

That happened when I took my pup for his first walkies in Nintendogs.

The Speccy emu has made me very happy.

Just like to second that, (about the speccy emulator that, is)

Now, just need FrodoDS to be a bit quicker and everything will be perfect

That's one thing a hacked PSP does really well. The PSP c64 emulator is fantastic.
