Why are we discussing whatever we are discussing here again? I thought this thread was about the PS3 reaching 21.3 million units sold worldwide?
Or am I having one of my episodes again?

The 70's win. Star Wars (before it sucked), Jaws (before it sucked), and Battlestar Galactica (before it didn't suck). We also got things that were awesomely bad, like Disco, even if we were too young to experience it first hand.

Check my edited post. I meant DMC3, not MGS3.
It was a mental fart.

80s had Empire Strikes Back (> Star Wars) AND Raiders of the Lost Ark (> Jaws) AND Back to the Future (> whatever crappy time travel stuff the 70s had) AND Aliens (< Alien).

Don't be so sure.AniHawk said:
Let me end this right here and now.
Number of Indiana Jones movies in the 80s = 3
Number of Indiana Jones movies in the 90s = 0
Number of Back to the Future movies in the 80s = 3
Number of Back to the Future movies in the 90s = 0
Number of Ghostbusters movies in the 80s = 2
Number of Ghostbusters movies in the 90s = 0
EDIT:
Number of Star Wars movies in the 80s = 2
Number of Star Wars movies in the 90s = 1
Therefore, 80s > 90s.

The 80s also had the first Die Hard and the first two Lethal Weapon movies. Compare to the 70s which had no Die Hards or Lethal Weapons, and the 90s which had Lethal Weapon 3 and 4 and Die Hard 2 and 3. 80s just can't stop winning here!AniHawk said:

The 70's had the first two Godfather movies. The 90's had part 3. The 80's just didn't get any.

But the seventies were the best part of Queen's career so the seventies > the eighties!

That is commendable, and actually what I want too (the only exception being comebacks, because dead genres feel fresh again if you haven't played them for years). Now tell me: what do you mean when you say "push what they think is possible"? Does that necessarily and only involve horsepower (for graphics, number of characters on screen, etc.)? Does it mostly involve it? Or do you think there are many, many ways developers can and will "push what they think is possible"? If that's the former (first or second question), I understand your point, but don't agree. If that's the latter, then you can't be so pessimistic about the Wii's so-called message, because you know as I do that you could still do a lot more with, say, the PS2 in terms of game design. Or is it that you're underestimating the developer's talents and imagination? If they're trapped and can't make fresh games just because they're stuck with PS2/GC/XBox/Wii hardware, they're not really good, now, are they?
Nothing on the Wii that couldn't be done better before > I will be nice with you and ignore the utterly stupid hyperbole (seriously, NOTHING?). As you said, there's Boom Blox (and Zack & Wiki, which I mentioned). You thought it was shit, fine. If we go by tastes and hyperbole though, I'll tell you that nothing feels really fresh on the competition, save for the graphics, but that wouldn't be good for discussion. If you're trying to use the sales argument, you're playing with double standards. I'll just use Wii Sports and Wii Fit and tell you they COULDN'T have been done better before, if at all. Even the Eyetoy can't compare. I tried several Eyetoy games. They're fun in their own respect, but even the much-decried Wiimote allows for more precise controls. Similarly, Eyetoy Kinetic is a joke compared to Wii Fit.
Oh and as Anihawk says, Boom Blox didn't flop anyway.
Make up your mind at least: are we talking general impact (i.e. sales), preferences, or some vague mix of the two that can allow you to spin the argument however you want to?
[EDIT] Crap, the thread grew so much by the time I posted that reply :lol.

Here's more incontrovertible proof, from the IMDB page of Eddie Murphy (edited for AWESOME):
AniHawk said:
I was born in 81 and Reagan, though a Republican, was a well loved outside the US. So better president in the 90s is arguable considering how badly Clinton scandalized the office and made a mockery of the US as a decadent self absorbed place.
If it ever comes to a tie though, 80s still win. Goonies.
The Movie and the the Konami game.

Since his fat-suited kid-friendly movies of today are so different, I refer to the superior 1980s model as 80 Murphy.Pristine_Condition said:

Given the number of months that I've spent over various years with Bohemian Rhaposdy stuck in my head, I have to agree that Queen makes for an amazing side to any argument.
You could probably even argue for or against antidisestablishmentarianism in terms of Queen.

I don't see why we are still debating this point. After all, I posted the Eddie Murphy proof already.
Since Eddie Murphy is the most important artist in the history of humanity, it goes without saying that the decade in which he was at the peak of his artistic powers was also the best decade in the history of humanity.
Thank you for your kind attention. This concludes my lecture.

The 1980s is where quite a few media of creative expression hit pretty much the exact sweet spot between commercial pressures of success and artistic experimentation -- thus the existence of some of the greatest pure pop records in history, or transcendant comedy films like Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Back to the Future, and Ghostbusters...
I mean, it's ridiculous to see optical media as bringing about a "new" period of graphics whoredom rather than correctly seeing it as a cost-saving measure that ushered in an era of unprecedented prosperity for third-party developers and all, but trying to say that the 90s were better for pop culture than the 80s is just too embarrassing. ( ._.)

In terms of music...
70s > 90s >>>>>>> 80s
80s was such a horrible decade for music.

Not from the Spanish side! Spanish Rock became FAWKWESOME in that decade with bands like Los Toreros Muertos, La Gusana Ciega, Caifanes and Hombres G. Also, Mecano for all your experimental non-rocky but shitawesome stuff.
...Fuck you guys, now I have to agree the eighties > the seventies.
