"It's considered as attacking because you didn't stop even after I have provided the evidence, you could've easily admitted you were wrong and stopped right there." You do know that there can be several (many) different arguments contained in one debate. So you proved your argument with evidence, which i should have acknowleged. But other people were bringing their own arguments which i continued to debate. Or was your evidence supposed to blanket all other's arguments?

"Vita sales numbers weren't provided by Sony, if you had bothered to read the information, it was leaked by a NPD leaker named creamsugar on neogaf first." Okay, if NPD is a reliable source (which i too, think it is) wouldnt it have confirmed (or denied) Sony's claims about the sales of PS4?

"Furthermore Sony announced their "sales numbers" before the NPD data collection was even completed, so that's clearly shipment numbers NOT sales numbers." It's shipment numbers, only if you believe Sony doesnt have the same fact gathering ability that NPD has on its own product. But i, for one, believe sony has its own internal "NPD-like" apperatus just like every major business has. Meaning they can see how much is shipped and how much is sold independant of one another.

Furthermore, are you suggesting that i will never find Nintendo having done the same(releasing sales(not shipped) numbers before NPD completed their data?

"Attack other people" thats what you think debate is? To my knowledge i have not offended anybody, called any body out their name. So how am i "ATTACKING" anybody?

"You only show up whenever Francis didn't post up bias negative sales news from questionable sources." WRONG AGAIN. Ask Francis about the Borderlands comments i made just yesterday. You obviously didnt read it because as long as i go with the flow of the website you dont see it. the moment i question anything, your all over it

"most of the information these companies provide tend to be shipment or rounded up numbers" No most of the latest numbers from MS and Sony are sales figures and not rounded up. Why do you believe Sony when they give the dismal Vita numbers but question the good PS4 numbers?

"HERE ARE A TON OF NEGATIVE ARTICLES ON NINTENDO" First, all those articles have been since i've been bringing up the bias so i'm sure you've been looking more closely at what you write. And second, you provide as much sugar coating and caveats as you can to negative nintendo news (what did you say about the PS4 outselling Wii U lifetime in 2weeks?, CAVEAT: UK's gaming community is so small that it doesnt matter). That example was just off the top of my head. Third, just yesterday i brought constructive criticism to one of your direct posts. You even replied that "it may be crazy enough to work". Now i know our campfire buddies paid it no attention because it was positive thoughts on the Wii U, but you saw it

And finally, look, if you dont want intense Debate, just say so. I'll leave. If all you want is you and your campfire buddies to sing Kumbaya, just say so. But i will continue to bring the intense debate

"There's JUST AS MANY good articles on Sony and Microsoft as there are for Nintendo." Its not so much the good articles, its the bad articles. Negative Nintendo news is given with an un-healthy amount of sugar coating and caveats. Sugar coating and caveats neither Sony nor Microsoft receive (at least not nearly to the same extent).

"There was one occasion where I thoroughly provided a lot of counterpoints to your claims with evidence, and you completely ignored my entire post" That was very correct. I should have admitted that i was wrong on your particular points, period. I do however try to debate all replyers of my comments. So for that i'm sorry, i was wrong.

As far as, "majority of your claims are always without any form of evidence to back up any of your claims", WRONG. I provide sources for almost everything i put forth. Just because you say something doesnt make it so.

" 'internet tough guy' because you want to attack this community", WRONG again. When i initially commented in this website i was getting thumbs up till I started seeing a lot of negative nintendo news (which does get reported on this site) with a whole lot of sugar coating and caveats that negative news on Sony or MS doesnt get. Then i started speaking up about this and got Thumb Downs ever since.

see francis, "we know there are sites like PlayerEssence that is middle of the road...". Is PlayerEssence middle of the road? I guess we'll know if you ban me. Sure you can sugar coat your reason for banning me and/or your PE Community can sugar coat the reason for you. But your going to know that in order to ban me your going to have to prove that you are in deed a BIAS purveyor of gaming "news" (fair and balanced).

So, whats it gonna be?

Let me stay, and continue to disrupt your pro-nintendo ecosystem with my intense (confrontational) debate

OR

Ban me and show your true BIAS colors?...What'll it be?

First off, on the Tecmo Koei argument: this was based on Japanese analysts so your factual dispute is with them. I only offer up that story to show its just as "news" worthy as your article about Nintendo having higher value than sony (whether either story is debatable). "I report the news as I see it." REALLY? Well, if your going to judge the validity of a news story based on whether or not you agree with it, well then just say so. But you wont be an honest gaming news broker then.

As far as, "if you are ONLY coming here to be confrontational, I'm going to ban you". Look, if you cant handle "intense debate" (which has confrontational undertones) then ban me. You'll be banning me for the aformentioned reason OR because I'm disrupting the delicate pro-nintendo bubble that you have wrapped up in this thinly-veiled non-biased news reporting

Here comes the Thumbs Down King again, here to splash some cold water on the dreamers and bring them back to reality. And i pose this question,

What is the difference between Negative Nintendo NEWS and ClickBait/TrollBait?

Now i can understand OPINION pieces being considered ClickBait/TrollBait, but

"Namco Bandai Named Most “Powerful” Japanese Video Game Company, Sony Drops Sharply, Nintendo Collapses" has a confirmational source to the Japanese article (again if the translation holds up).
http://www.dualshockers.com/2014/01/20/namco-band...

How is this not a LEGIT, albeit, negative new story? Especially when the story suggests that Nintendo is a less powerful Japanese gaming company (compared to sony) although it was "news" when the exact opposite was reported here in the states (AND ON THIS SITE, http://playeressence.com/nintendos-value-is-now-b... ) a couple weeks ago? Not only did you have an article here, Francis, you made a YouTube video all about how Nintendo was now worth more than Sony. So if that is NEWS why isn't this NEWS?

This feels like Francis purposely not posting "news" that doesn't fit his narrative, instead of being the honest, non-biased, video game NEWS broker he purports himself to be.

TIME FOR THUMBS DOWN, but please PROVE my post wrong too.

(My brother just put this idea up on Youtube, so i'll post it here. Tell me what you all think?)

You know what i think would be good in the FPS realm for Nintendo, a Borderlands type FPS, RPG, Open World game. Now it can't be a direct knock off, or else it will just be Borderland (with Mario skins). They should do weapons that are derivatives of historical Mario powers (a gun that's main power is from flames/fire, stemming from Mario fire balls, etc). And they need to make the classic enemies more mature (Those wandering turtles and mushrooms are all grown up and use weapons of their own). And think, just like Borderlands it can have a robust single-player, co-op online (AND OFFLINE) multiplayer, and add in a Person vs Person online (AND OFFLINE) mode.

My ORIGINAL ANSWER:

"i've been telling the truth to people who don't want to hear it. So, i'm unpopular here. Thats all."

"why is is there such a discrepancy as to the mood of the comment section when talking about weak Vita sales versus weak Wii U sales?"-ME-Negative thumbs

"Because we don't like people like you who are pessimistic about the Wii U's future"-Alex9234-positive thumbs

I rest my case...
