My Dad's Console is Better than Your Dad's Console

It is that year when we get to see the launch of 3 new consoles in one year (I don't think this has happened before with 3 new consoles being launched in the same 12 month period). It is a good opportunity to hear a lot of chest beating from either Sony or Microsoft about how their console is going to own the Christmas holiday buying period. I'm surprised that they don't tout these harsh words with the likes of terms which gamers would understand, like n00b or some form of 1337 speak. Like "Xbox 360 will pwnz0r the PS2 come Xmas," or "Microsoft will h4x0r the PS2 off the market," or, "Sony n00bs the 360 will pwn the suxxor PS3 FTW." Surely, this type of talk would strike fear in to the hearts of their competition much like it does when a 12 year old says it to you online. I always quake in my boots when I am called a n00b. It is the ultimate putdown by someone who hasn't quite mastered, and probably never will master, the English language. This is the type of language that gamers understand and obviously prefer. Why not start marketing their scare tactics in this way.

So, look out console n00bs.
