Was watching Newsround (I know I know, don’t ask), when this report on the Gamecube came up. This is pretty much the exact wording

‘Gamecube sales are plummeting. More of you are buying Playstaion 2 and Xbox’

Then these words emanated from the presenters mouth that made me want to go down to BBC headgquarters and b.itch-slap the Newsround researches

‘Nintendo’s plan is to make new games (DUH!!) with cuter characters!’

*sigh*

That's not the point.

10,000 kids across the UK have just become anti-Nintendo because of the BBC's false news report.


That's the point.


It's at the point where no matter how good Nintendo's consoles or games are, they'll never ben successful; because people won't let them.

Because they're perpetuating a lie. People need to know the truth - more people buy Nintendo, Nintendo do better = benefits for us.

Why such an angry attitude?

Its a TV channel just spurting out regular crap to insert into peoples brains all the time, Nothing more. Newsround is just some cheesy "kids" news show, which always seems to go on about some charity or starving kids in Africa.

Just ignore it.

Enjoy your games instead.

I was going to mention pubes, but I haven't had my dinner yet, so I thought I had better not.


Thanks, though... :D

What do you expect...? It's Newsround... Practically none of the mass media have a clue about videogames. Otherwise there wouldn't be these 'Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft turned my innocent young child into a mass murderer' stories in newspapers whenever they have nothing of any worth to write about.

I was only watching for Lizo/Leezo/Lezo or whatever his name is. He makes me laugh, and he did today :-)
