But didn't the PS3 do pretty well? Even if didn't you don't want to play games it was a pretty cheap Bluray / media player.
Anyway Dobby you're an adult and console wars are for kids who can only afford one console so bitch and moan about their systems rivals to convince themselves they bought the right one.

I wouldn't call the PS3 a failure as it has sold at least 80 milion copies (numbers from 2013). Did it underperform compared to PS1 and PS2? Of course it did,but it still sold a lot.

It also single-handedly turned the tides in favor of the blu-ray format.
But yeah, when Dobson hears these consoles sold at a loss in the beginning, he doesn't grasp this is meant to secure a big market share until the production is streamlined (and thus more cost efficient).

Wasn't that the standard business model for consoles in the 00s - to sell the systems at a loss and make it back (and then some) with the games?

Last I checked the PS4 is selling more than the Xbox One and Wii U combined. Of course console sales are just slower this gen as a whole but still: only the most stubborn Nintendo fanboy like Dobson would say Nintendo is doing well.

Yeah. But it wasn't like this in the 90s, so Dobson's inability to comprehend non-90s stuff leaves him up inflation creek without a bikepump.
Well. Not gonna sperg about Vidya (too much), but while Nintendo might not be the biggest console seller, they certainly aren't someone to be overlooked. They've got enough money in their bank account to be able to afford annual net losses of more than 250 million dollars and their money wouldn't dry up for the next 4 decades. And that is before they even think about selling their immensly expensive property in Kyoto and Tokyo. Or their IPs.
Be that as it may, there's nothing wrong with being an avid fan of Nintendo (I'm not that big of a console player, but I do have a lot of respect for that company) or any other gaming company, but people like Dobson take it too far and take part in 'console wars' and that#s just pitiful. The more so, the older the partakers get.

And with the PS4 games announced at E3, no doubt sales are going to increase even more. Dobson isn't the kind of person to research that kind of thing, though. Hell, he goes around insinuating that everyone hates Splatoon except him, even if it's done pretty damn well for itself. Researching things would mean he'd have to admit that he's not perfect and doesn't know everything. It would also mean he'd have to admit when he's wrong, but we all know he's not capable of that.

Don't forget their absurdly expensive Manhattan property as well. Nintendo is fucking loaded. And they're branching out into general electronics once again too, so even if they're unable to keep making games once Miyamoto retires, I don't think the big N is going anywhere for a long time.

No one is saying you can't be a fan of Nintendo. Like most spergy interests, video games are fine if you hide your fucking power level and find proper places to discuss it. Also, not being a total asshole and buying into "console wars" bullshit helps.
Dobson will probably bemoan Steam Machines becoming a thing because he hates PCs and people who play games on PCs, now they're rushing into "his" console area.

Yes there are. And they all suck, cause not only do the graphics suffer, but you also have an input lag.
And this shit is easily found via google, so why doesn't he just google that shit? Seriously. Why?
Just a hunch, but getting a job where you don't wear a paper hat might be a start.

Doesn't he use a Mac?

Damn, I totally forgot! Yeah, that explains a lot. Upgrading will cost him an arm and a leg and won't help him with gaming at all (afaik, Macs really don't work well with vidya...).Doesn't he use a Mac?

I've heard Macs are good for artists. Are there just more art programs available for Macs?

I think people buy it for the "look at how I'm different!" image. The original lure used to be in the 80s and 90s, but now pretty much everyone uses photoshop, which is available on both Windows and OS X, it doesn't really matter.
Also, OS X doesn't come with an equivalent to MS Paint. You have to download 3rd party software.

The only popular ones that I know that are Windows-only are Krita (I think the Linux version is beta), Pixia and PaintToolSai. There's a usually a Mac version for most of the popular art/photo programs.

Yeah, Macs are really lacking when it comes to convenient upgrades unlike the PC. Kinda like game consoles, I've noticed.
That said, Dobsy's a complete idiot if he thinks upgrading a Mac (as it is) will help him play games. Or be a better person. Then again, I own a PC, so who am I to say?

As far as I know (which isn't much, so please correct me if I'm wrong), video editing is where Macs shine.
But of course that isn't worth much to a cartoonist.

What does Dobson even need a gaming PC for since he's a Nintendofag?
