What card represents what in gaming.
I tried a topic like this close to a year ago, it tried to compare the gaming market to a Mr Potato toy... that failed miserably so I try again.
Cards 1-5: Average Joe Gamers.
They dominant the sales of all the games, they are the majority of gamers. When a basically crap game is bought, these people are the ones who buy it. Harry Potter anyone? Simpsons Wrestling? Don't rip them all up though, as these people buying the consoles and shoddy games just allows hardcore gamers to enjoy their own elite league.
Cards 6-8: Hardcore Gamers
Moving up the deck we have the gamers that read into what they are buying, the gamers that know their information and help others choose. Most are biased. They are the minority of gamers and would have spent thousands of pounds on games alone.
Cards 9-10: The shops
Shops in the UK are probably the worst for buying games for compared to any other place in the world. Its not the 'IdidntpassmyGSCEs' staff with their own collection of spots and facescars. Its the fact we have to pay so much. They take up cards 9 and 10 because without these guys, we would be a lot richer and we would have a lot less games.
Credit to companies alike Special Reserve though, they are that little bit different.
Jack: Developing companies
The Jack always deals to the Queen and King. So, I decided to place all the developing companies in one card. I was going to place Rare into the Ace slot, but I thought that would show my love for them too much. Well its basically that simple. The Jack's deal to the Queen and King.
Queen: At present: GameCube
Its doing brilliantely in America, its had, lovely sales, it lacks a Mario game, but hey, that would just be asking too much.
King: Playstation2 and GBA
These two consoles after receiving criticisms and rants have in there life done very very well, although I don't like to admit it the PS2 is becoming a nice console. The GBA still keeps me playing MKA every night. Super.
Ace: Rare
Why? I said I wouldn't? EVERYTHING THESE GUYS TOUCH IS INCREDIBLE. Everything Rare release is just breathtaking to play. They have their own style. Originality is these guys second name. God, it makes me weep to even think about After Dark. :- When its 'RareWare' its Rare.
Joker: Microsoft
A topic wouldn't be complete by me if I didnt manage to slack of Microsoft. They are the Jokers. They try and receive from the Jacks, but fail miserably, then they try and claim the most sales, even though its reported Bill brought 120,000 himself. Ahhhh.. what a joke. Can they please shutup and go home to their own market.
Thats the house of cards ion gaming. Different. Wasn't it?
er-no

Pretty good summary there.
The Queen is the most wise and beautiful but everyone follows the King because he LOOKS stronger.
The Ace is well chosen and great nomination for the joker! ;-)
