Edit: Updated the OP slightly. [QUOTE=Greenen72;42120327]1. Read the thread title :-) 2. You may have a different opinion than me, but the OP in a thread should be an article describing what happens, then people discussing it 3. Oh boy, thanks for the two minutes! But sorry for putting words in your mouth, I have a habit of assuming anyone who posts an image saying "THANKS MICROSOFT" for rigging votes where no evidence points is a person who has an agenda against them.[/QUOTE] 1: Cool. I didn't post anything about drawing conclusions for you. You don't have a thing :-) 2: Wow it's almost as if what people were doing before you decided to shitpost. It's almost as if I admitted that I screwed up. Wow 3: Least you admit you have problems. Seriously you get proven wrong and instead of ducking out or at least admitting "woops I was wrong" you act like a even bigger shithead :v: Dudes like you amaze me.
[QUOTE=Sift;42120271] [b]Where did I imply you said anything other then "this is shady"[/b] Right here, or do you have short term memory loss? If so maybe I'll write up a article about it for my awesome job as a top notch reporter.[/QUOTE] Honestly there's no room for insulting someone else's memory in a debate when you can't remember clearly naming the thread something that tries to indicate microsoft did it. You didn't name the thread "shady vote fixing on next gen console polls"
[QUOTE=Gatsby;42119729]Wow I just noticed how badly PS3 was beating Xbox in that poll before the rig. All countrys were atleast 84% PS3, most were over 90%. I was expecting xbox to have atleast 25% in the US. It's kinda sad.[/QUOTE] You have to keep in mind that this is only exposure from the enthusiast game-review reading market of gamers, who undoubtibly will be more inclined twoard saying they want PS4 because they've been following all the fuckups that MS has done this year (even though in all likelyhood a good chunk of them will get an XB1 anyways since that is what their friends have). 99% of people though don't even know what a gamespot or IGN is, will see the ads for XB1, see it in the store, and buy it from the brand name alone. We are talking the game buying public that only buys madden and CoD every year as the only games they get, and the parents/grandparents of such people who don't know anything at all about video games, or that there are even more than one console out there. Especially since the new xbox has all these fancy features like NFL and the ability to turn their TV basically into that fancy pants $2500 samsung smart TV they saw in the best buy that one time. They won't even know the PS4 is a thing, and its extremely likely the xbox one will be pretty successfull from these people alone - the people that don't know or care to know about anything in games beyond madden and CoD, and that theres anything out there other than an xbox. Then again, something that EVERYONE understands is price. Part of the reason why Xbox 360 got so mainstream with this group of gamers is because it was always cheaper than the PS3 for most of the time, was smaller, but still did pretty good stuff and ended up having better support. When the PS4 comes out $100 less, and in a better form factor, that could be the tipping point to making people pay attention to it.
[QUOTE=ZachPL;42120334]I'm not a fanboy of either side. It's just annoying when people make ignorant comments that have no basis or foundation and are just band-wagging to feel like they fit in to something. I can't see how anyone can possibly think the xbox one is done when the consoles haven't released yet and on launch day in NA xbox will have just as many PS4's or more sold.[/QUOTE] It's pretty clear you're an Xbox fanboy. Whenever someone makes an opinion against the Xbox or makes an opinion as to why they think the PS4 will do better, you either rate them dumb every single post or make a response to say why they're wrong and you're right.
A shit storms brewing in this thread. Anyways, I wouldn't doubt Microsoft had some part in this. Does anyone remember the fake twitter account Obama used to follow him?

You're acting like a child.

You didn't name the thread "shady vote fixing on next gen console polls"[/QUOTE] Yeah, but soon as someone pointed it out I admitted I was wrong. All honesty only reason it hasn't changed is because only mods can change thread titles, unless that changed. Edit: Yeah just tried, nothing happened.

All my other actions were based on me thinking you were an anti-microsoft idiot, which you only disproved by not being an anti-microsoft idiot throughout the discussion

Even I've noticed how always post about the Xbone, and bitch/rate dumb when people say they like the ps4
[QUOTE=breakyourfac;42120391]Dude I don't even pay attention to consoles, or threads relating to them.[/QUOTE]...then why are you here?

Like good job reading my posts. No wait, you're just replying the second you see you've been quoted. Do you want me to post links to my comments on the wii-u or ps4? Am I suddenly a anti-video game dude? Stop dude, you're wrong. It's okay. People are wrong all the time, you don't fix it by digging deeper. [editline]8th September 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Rellow;42120408]...then why are you here?[/QUOTE] Dude there's a internet fight going on don't you wanna watch. I've got doritos and mountain due #xboxone (oh no I'm anti-xbox again)
[QUOTE=breakyourfac;42120391]Dude I don't even pay attention to consoles, or threads relating to them. Even I've noticed how always post about the Xbone, and bitch/rate dumb when people say they like the ps4[/QUOTE] No, I rate dumb when someone says something that make no sense or they specifically single me out like I have something to do with it. Ratings really mean nothing so I don't know why everyone gets so worked up over it.

[editline]8th September 2013[/editline] Dude there's a internet fight going on don't you wanna watch[/QUOTE] You're wrong too you blithering idiot, posting like you have a superiority complex doesn't help when instead of debating the guy you spend all your time insulting him.
[QUOTE=ZachPL;42120428] Ratings really mean nothing so I don't know why everyone gets so worked up over it.[/QUOTE] I somewhat agree with this as it tends to bandwagon to whatever the current highest rating is. The forum would probably be a better place without em to be honest.
[QUOTE=Rellow;42120408]...then why are you here?[/QUOTE] Because I want to watch them debate for like 14 pages, I think it's funny.
[QUOTE=ZachPL;42120428]No, I rate dumb when someone says something that make no sense or they specifically single me out like I have something to do with it [B]or they say they're not getting an xbox one or point out microsoft making a statement about their own goddamn console or say anything that is not supporting the xbox one[/B] Ratings [B]are my opinion but[/B] I don't [B]realise[/B] why everyone gets so worked up over it.[/QUOTE] Fixed!
[QUOTE=ZachPL;42120428]Ratings really mean nothing so I don't know why everyone gets so worked up over it.[/QUOTE] Which is why you use them all the time, right?

Are you trying to say you are an anti-microsoft idiot (to make it clear, and idiot that also spends their time hating microsoft)? I'm guessing you misread "disproved" as "proved" and "not being an anti-microsoft idiot" as "being an anti-microsoft idiot", but I don't want to put words in your mouth
[QUOTE=Lebowski;42120429]You're wrong too you blithering idiot, posting like you have a superiority complex doesn't help when instead of debating the guy you spend all your time insulting him.[/QUOTE] I'm now a reporter with a superiority complex. Damn finding out a lot about myself today. I think you're looking for sarcastic. Also probably a bad point to be like "You blithering idiot how dare you insult people." because it sends mixed messages. Especially when I did debate and the most he could come up with is smilie faces and "funny" quips. Edit: I mean seriously, dang facepunch, dang.

Don't condescend to me you ignoble prick.

I should probably be focusing more on this dumb internet argument then other things.
[QUOTE=Lebowski;42120484]Yeah, continue to tell me what to do; it totally cements you as 'not having a superiority complex' when it comes seeping in through your text. Don't condescend to me you ignoble prick.[/QUOTE] where in his post did he tell you to do anything?

It's called backpedaling like a motherfucker. [editline]8th September 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Makol;42120505]where in his post did he tell you to do anything?[/QUOTE] Nowhere, I misread it and I am in the wrong.

It's called backpedaling like a motherfucker.[/QUOTE] So uh, you really have no idea what you're talking about then huh. I'm genuinely kind of curious if you have anger problems or something because all I did was break down a post he asked me to break down and then get tired of our little tiff quickly. I don't have ill will to the guy or whatever then suddenly you burst in yelling that I'm commanding you to do things and I'm just sitting here confused as all hell. This thread was about how someone fucked with the polls, I fucked up on a thread title and things went south /real/ fast. It's really dumb but you seem to be going apeshit for some reason and I genuinely can't discern why.
I like to play a guessing game with the rating systems, in particular with ZachPL's. Whenever I see a dumb rating I guess it's him and I'm right 99% of the time.
This thread has pretty much descended into a true shit-flinging flame war. This doesn't even have anything to do with the topic at hand anymore.
[QUOTE=Rellow;42120543]This thread has pretty much descended into a true shit-flinging flame war. This doesn't even have anything to do with the topic at hand anymore.[/QUOTE] That's typically how most threads go in SH nowadays.
[QUOTE=Rellow;42120543]This thread has pretty much descended into a true shit-flinging flame war. This doesn't even have anything to do with the topic at hand anymore.[/QUOTE] On something awful they have a feature that lets you lock threads. I kind of wish I could do that because there's no coming back from this. Swear I didn't intend for this. Edit: I'd PM a mod but didn't see any on the front page. Was that removed?
