Despite what one might think.<BR/><BR/>Course, same will be true of PS3 owners for a while - and I'm sure we'll get the same filter effect there.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04260309971152360156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9611352.post-1160678673761211562006-10-12T11:44:00.000-07:002006-10-12T11:44:00.000-07:00Heheh.

I'm having a grumpy month :)<BR/><BR/>Joystiq's signal to noise ratio is still OK enough for me to keep it on the RSS - but things like "OMG Nintendo is shipping chips!" and this count as strikes against it. <BR/><BR/>But more to the point - I don't think the blogosphere understands that doesn't share the exact same perspective as reality. A lot of the comment in that Joystiq thread are crap like "Well, I think the PS3 is too expensive to the survey must be wrong." The gamesphere has a juicy core of anecdotal evidence which is a useless measure of how the world actually games.<BR/><BR/>For instance - around the office and my friend ... nobody owns a 360. I don't think anyone is planning on it. A few have PS3 preorders and maybe one even knows what a Wii actually is.<BR/><BR/>That's not to say my anecdote is any more proof of anything. But at least I'm willing to acknowledge this fact. I'm worried mainstream blogs are forming their own groupthink these days.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04260309971152360156noreply@blogger.com
