Nintendo is slowly killing the planet with it's innovations and family fun.
HOW MUCH DID SONY PAY THEM?
ENOUGH APPARENTLY.
Oh come on. Those have to be rigged.
[quote]Nintendo managed to score 0 out of 10, which, according to Greenpeace, makes them the first-ever global brand to score nothing across all criteria.
LOL!
Wow. Solrok should mention this in his speech to ban videogames.
Wow, yeah actually. Someone get this thread to Solrok.
lol greenpeace
How the **** do you get a 0 across all scores? Is Mario the Captain Planet's arch-nemesis or what?

[spoiler]Earth is the last boss in Galaxy![/spoiler]
That's it. Nintendo is finished.
They don't even say why Nintendo scored a 0.
Nintendo scored zero because Greenpeace couldn't find any info. Yeah, that's right, they tried to make a company sound **** because they were too lazy to do any proper research.
I knew hippies were lazy bums but Christ.
the angry nintendo nerd must be angry
What about all of those broken playstations and ps2s cluttering up landfills, huh?
It's pretty hard to believe that Nintendo, making the simplest of designs in their hardware and software could be destroying the planet, where the PS3, that looks like a nuclear microwave is doing the best for it. It's evident that Sony took the largest load out of their *** to Greenpeace to get any credibility they could, while Microsoft and especially Nintendo couldn't care less about some low, unknown guide no one's going to pay attention to, anyway.
Do you guys have any idea how much energy it takes to produce Nintendium?
It takes the power of two Super Novas to produce a pound of Nintendium.
Stop going into the 8th gen this early, you two. Nintendo's world domination secrets are HUSH HUSH.
It's a good thing that the power of a supernova can be harnessed using the souls of only 10,000 newborn kittens.
Prince can generate that amount of dead kittens in a single lonely evening.
Nobody's touching my energy supply. Sorry, California.
Man, doesn't the Wii use a lot less electricity compared to the 360 and PS3? That's got to count for something. Without sounding like a fanboy, Sony probably had major influence here. Their sponsored Variety review of Galaxy is proof they're trying to undermine Nintendo.
I was thinking the same thing, Wii is 10 times more energy efficient than the other two.
I don't think Sony's behind a bunch of hippies being exceptionally stupid though. They wouldn't really need to be.
I read some of the report, and appearantly they rank the companies on how much they change their effect on the environment from the last report. Not their actual effect on it.
Am I the only one who thinks that's completely retarded?
I think everyone is in agreement with you. Why this is even news is beyond me.
Even if Nintendo really did deserve a 0, who honestly cares.
I care about myself and having what I want to do. not about the world after I am gone.
Then you're sort of a tool to be honest.

EDGY
I care, and I'll do small things to help, but nothing that requires major sacrifice. I'm pretty sure if we made small allowances, everything would be cool.
Eh. I eagerly await the zombie apocalypse that will surely follow when the polar icecaps melt sufficiently to release the deadly alien virus frozen therein into the atmosphere.
hey thats not to say i don't recycle, or do anything that harms the earth. i do everything in my power to keep what i can effect the best it can be. i am just saying if something that produces good can cause any sort of pollution, i would rather counter it than do away with it.
um... seeing as how ps3's are left in mountains in stores because nobody is buying them, I think the fact that there will be a land fill devoted to them negates their environmentally friendly manufacturing policy.
What you're saying is that PS3 are going to be in landfills because they aren't selling? I think you mean they're going to be in Wal-Mart because they aren't selling. Sort of the same thing, but not really.
Wait, I get that you're trying to be funny but that statement really makes no sense since PS3s have been selling at Wal-Mart since the beginning. :confused:
Fossil fules arent to blame for global warming, Nintendo is! Al Gore was right!

[quote]Sales of the PlayStation 3 in North America were given a shot in the arm last week by the price cut, and more than tripled during the Thanksgiving holiday week. Sony has informed GameSpot that its newly discounted console saw a 245 percent increase in units sold in the week of November 18-24 compared to the previous week.
[UPDATE] From the introduction of the 40GB model on November 2nd to November 24, Sony says PS3 hardware sales have increased by a massive 298 percent. Though Sony did not provide is actual sales figures, one can extrapolate an estimate from the three-week period from the October NPD reports, which said 143,000 PS3s were sold in the US (121,000) and Canada (22,000) during the month. That means roughly 107,250 were sold in North America in three weeks last month.
...
If those sales stay constant through the end of the month, then roughly 429,000 PS3s were sold in the US and Canada during the month. That's a marked improvement for the console, which has not sold more than 200,000 units in a single month this year.
:confused:
we get it, you like sony.
WHOA, HOLD THE PHONE
a console sold a metric ****ton of units during and around the time of black friday? Unheard of.
I don't know, consoles or new games aren't usually marked down for Black Friday because the items themselves aren't sold to stores at a ridiculously high rate. At my store I purchase full-priced 360 games for only a 10% margin above what the store bought it for from the merchandiser and I usually only pay about three bucks less (which is nothing, really). So maybe not? The low-priced PS3s could've been an impulse buy.
Point is, they're expected to have an increase in sales. I mean, even the DS, who usually sells amazingly well month to month, sold what, 600,000 in three days? It's not the same, just an example.
Mario Galaxy was half price. Too bad I didn't know that until the day after. =/
Oi, they are not selling purely because of cost. Everyone who wants one is waiting until they're cheaper, but by that coin once they're cheap enough Sony's new system will be out and the faddist gamers waiting to buy it will no longer get it and buy the new system. Logic people, logic.
And yes, they've sold many I mean people bought Jaguar and 3DO for crying out loud, but for every one that's sold they throw 15 more at a store. There will be an abundance of ps3's in store rooms long after it's time is over and I wouldn't be surprised if some stores final solution is to throw them all out to make room.

Saw that earlier today. LAAAAAAAAAWSUIT
[quote=Vampiro V. Empire;786434]And the power of eight to keep a 360 running.
And about twenty two of them just to run the "Emotion Engine" on the PS2 :D.
You're an idiot.
Those were the absolute worst voice actors EVER.
I squirmed uncomfortably at Mario ****ting a mushroom.
Pfft who cares? Recycling is just a fashion fad, green peace suck and trees and lame. I'd rather play Smash Bros than save a dolphin.
