PS3 clone is a genuine 'Winner'

No, China doesn't suck. Cheap ripoff companies suck.

Why, just because it has the first two letters of Chinese in it? You might as well say that Nintendo is racist to Nigerians.

Their just letters, racism has nothing to do with it. Tommy Hilfiger, now he's racist

Wow, I wish Joystiq would give me a "double neg" button for this comment.

Lol... It has the first 4 letters, chin. Not just the first two.

It's not like they said "chinktendo" or actually, you know, used any racial slurs.

Does China have like zero laws at all about trademarks and such?

???

you win nigeria, you fucking win. haha

Offended at nothing. Stuff like that is exactly what keeps racism alive.



"Does China have like zero laws at all about trademarks and such?"

I'm not sure, I think they do but they just turn a blind eye way too often.

Don't worry, DarthDavid, you're winner...in our hearts.

Once upon a time, there was a country made out of a bunch of Asian islands who used to copy and manufacture the shit out of everything from the Western world, and for cheaper.

Engineering developed over imitation and reverse engineering.


In less than a century, they are one of the biggest poles of the videogame industry.




That country is Japan.

So fucking funny!!! Joystiq must be getting better because we got 12 replies BEFORE a douchebag showed up.

Great job as always James.

When it appears in malls? You really think this will appear in malls in the states?

Also, heck yeah I think folks will buy it - if not just for the laugh factor alone. I'd even get a Vii just to laugh my ass off for a day.

According to Wii Fanboy, the creators are planning to push it in the Japanese and American market. Therefore, it'll most likely be in stores for a couple weeks. Probably not long enough for too many people to notice, of course, unless it's actually worth buying and playing. Like I said, I probably won't buy it unless I see an actual Winner Fanboy.

That's all I could see when I looked at the picture. ACTION FUN. I must have it.

The Vii is actually a Wii knockoff. It looks like a Wii, it plays like a Wii, it has games that are actually ripoffs of Wii games in name and function, its name is obviously an attempt to make people who aren't paying enough attention think it's a Wii (I'm thinking of Coke-Cola as an example for when Coca-Cola first became popular).

And if you open it, all it has is a single motherboard half the size of the entire console and wires running to the items on the outside. And, I'm not sure if it does or not, but it may have a fan. I haven't checked the picture in a while.

In every way, it's meant to cash in on the Wii's popularity through "settling for this," or someone not paying attention when they are shopping. That's why we're mocking it so much. At least, that's why I mock the Vii. I just like to mock things, serious or not ;).

Of course, to answer your question, no, I don't own one, nor have I ever played it. I actually want to try it out, though, see if it works well or not. I wouldn't plan on buying one, but trying it would be fun.

As for the Winner, I think it's far more likely to be an actual console with a fanboy site than the Vii.

Anyways, I forgot what my point was with these ramblings...

Secre,

Sorry I guess my sarcasm was not very obvious, but I really could care less about either of these rip-offs.
